[ncc-announce] 2007-01 Policy Implementation - Phase Two Deadline Extended
by Arne Kiessling 18 May '10

18 May '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC has once more extended the deadline for Phase Two of the 2007-01 policy implementation ("Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region"). This decision is based upon feedback and input received from the RIPE community during RIPE 60 regarding the implementation of Phase Three of policy proposal 2007-01. In Phase Three the RIPE NCC will contact all holders of independent Internet resources who, at the end of Phase Two, have not signed an agreement with either a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC regarding the registration of the resources assigned to them. The RIPE NCC will draft a procedural document for Phase Three and make it available for review on the NCC Services Working Group Mailing List in the near future. The deadline extension will also allow LIRs some more time to provide the necessary documentation for any independent Internet resources that they marked as "My End User" during the first step of Phase Two of the policy implementation. It is hoped that this will reduce the number of resource holders to be contacted in Phase Three of the policy implementation. The start of Phase Three is scheduled to begin after the RIPE 61 Meeting in November 2010. The RIPE NCC will update the community regarding definite timelines for the end of Phase Two, the start of Phase Three and other topics related to the policy implementation on the NCC Services Working Group Mailing List. If you have any comments or questions, please contact <enduser-contract(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Arne Kiessling IP Resource Analyst RIPE NCC
