[ncc-announce] APNIC Announces its IPv4 Address Pool Reaches Final /8
by Axel Pawlik 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, Today, Friday 15 April 2011, APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific region, announced that it has distributed the final IPv4 address space from its reserves of IPv4. This means that APNIC is now supplying IPv4 address space to its members from the last /8 it holds according to the guidelines in section 9.10 in "Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region": http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy This event does not affect the RIPE NCC's reserves of IPv4 address space and we will continue to distribute these resources to our members on the basis of need until we reach the last /8. According to RIPE Document ripe-509, section 5.6, once the RIPE NCC reaches the last /8 of IPv4 address space, each Local Internet Registry (LIR) can receive one /22 (1024 IPv4 addresses) upon application for IPv4 resources. In order to obtain this /22 allocation, the LIR must already have an IPv6 allocation and have a demonstrated need for address space. IPv6 - Act Now --------------- The RIPE NCC cannot predict how long its own supply of IPv4 address space will last and has worked for several years to inform all stakeholders of the urgent need to deploy IPv6. It is now imperative that all stakeholders deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the continuity of their online operations and the long-term growth of the Internet. For more information on IPv6 and its deployment, advice from experts and where to get training, please see: www.ipv6actnow.org Further Information -------------------- For more information on IPv4 exhaustion, please see: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion For more information on how the RIPE NCC's last /8 will be distributed, please see: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-509 For information about the amount of IPv4 address space left in the RIPE NCC's available pool of IPv4, please see the graph online at: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-po… Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[ncc-announce] Re: [ncc-services-wg] Updated RIPE NCC Procedural Document Available
by Arne Kiessling 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Dear Hank, Thank you for your email. We updated the procedural document because ripe-511 contained a redundant paragraph that was also referencing another procedural document (ripe-475) that was obsoleted. This is the paragraph that was removed from ripe-511 and is no longer visible in ripe-518: "If the required feedback is not received after three months and several attempts by the RIPE NCC to contact the resource holder including reminders by email and using different contact details registered in the RIPE Database related to the resource, or if a resource holder has not signed an agreement with either a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC within three months of confirming via the web interface that they are going to sign an agreement, the RIPE NCC may start the deregistration of the resource according to the de-registration timeframes described in section 4.1.1 of "Independent Internet Number Resources - Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User"." -- Kind Regards Arne Kiessling IP Resource Analyst RIPE Network Coordination Centre Hank Nussbacher wrote: > At 15:56 14/03/2011 +0100, Arne Kiessling wrote: > > Rather than doing a diff can you indicate what are the changes? > > Thanks, > Hank > >> Dear Colleagues, >> >> The RIPE NCC has published an updated procedural document, ripe-518, >> "Implementation of RIPE Policy 'Contractual Requirements for Provider >> Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region' - Phase 3". >> >> This document replaces ripe-511, which was published recently.

09 Mar '11

Dear colleagues, Registration is now open for the Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG) 8/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting, taking place in Damascus, Syria from 14-19 May 2011. This is the first time a MENOG/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will be held in Syria. We would like to thank the host Syrian Computer Society (SCS) for supporting this event. MENOG meetings are excellent opportunities to share ideas and experiences with other network operators and network engineers from across the Middle East, to develop cross-regional cooperation and to meet with key players in the local and global Internet industry. The MENOG 7 Meeting, held in Istanbul in October 2010, attracted over 240 attendees from 34 countries, and we expect the MENOG 8 Meeting to build on the success of that event. Registration will close when maximum capacity is reached, so please register soon to ensure your attendance. For all information and for registration details, please visit: http://menog.net/meetings/menog8 Regards, The MENOG Coordination Team Kais Al-Essa, Osama Al-Dosary, Sultan AlShamsi, Sandra Gijzen, Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Paul Rendek, Philip Smith
