[ncc-announce] LIR Portal Downtime: Incident Report
by Tim Bruijnzeels 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, LIR Portal service has now been restored. The LIR Portal, along with several other RIPE NCC online services, was unavailable from 06:30 - 08:30 (UTC), 9 September 2009. The outage was caused by a faulty switch. We have performed emergency patching to fix the problem for now. A replacement switch will be installed this afternoon between 15:00 - 16:00 (UTC). A five-minute interruption to service is expected when we make this change. We apologise for the inconvience this may have caused for you. We are currently working on a project to migrate the LIR Portal to a new architecture, with improved redundancy, which, when implemented, will reduce the likelihood of such events. Regards, Tim Bruijnzeels LIR Portal Service Manager RIPE NCC

Due to the low interest in whether one person or another gets elected, the number of postal ballots submitted will be quite low - and you will therefore draw an erroneous conclusion. Why not have postal voting for the charging scheme? Offer a few alternatives - I bet that would generate much more voting interest. > > The Executive Board will monitor whether this enhancement leads to increased > participation and based on these outcomes will decide on further steps. > Sort of like watching the number of boats crossing a river and drawing a conclusion that based on the number of boats and commerce between the 2 shores it doesn't warrant building a bridge on that spot. -Hank > Membership discussion of the proposed changes to voting options for General > Meetings can take place at <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. > > For your information, there has already been some discussion on the > members-discuss mailing list.
