128.0.0.0/16 configured as martians in some routers
by Alex Le Heux 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC is aware that 128.0.0.0/16 is configured as a martian by default in (some) Juniper OS, even though RFC 5735 and RFC3330 outline that this /16 should no longer be reserved as specialised address space. All allocations that were already issued have been exchanged and for now we will hold this space in quarantine. We urge everyone to change the default behaviour of their Juniper routers: set routing-options martians 128.0.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 191.255.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 223.255.255.0/24 exact allow 128.0.0.0/16 has been added to the RIPE NCC's Debogonising Project: http://www.ris.ripe.net/debogon/ To facilitate testing, the following prefixes are being announced: prefix pinagble address 128.0.0.0/16 128.0.0.1 128.0.8.0/21 128.0.8.1 128.0.24.0/24 128.0.24.1 Best regards, Alex Le Heux Policy Implementation Co-ordinator RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Access Deployment Rescheduled to 6 December
by Alex Band 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Dear colleagues, The deployment of RIPE NCC Access will be postponed for one week due to an unexpected technical problem. It will now take place during the next scheduled maintenance window on Tuesday, 6 December starting at 16:00 UTC. You can use your normal LIR Portal account this week. Before the migration takes place, we need to temporarily disable the option for LIR Portal administrators to create new users starting on Monday, 5 December 2011 at 16:00 UTC. During this period, you will still be able to access and use the LIR Portal using your current credentials. After the migration is complete, you will no longer be able to log in to the LIR Portal using your old credentials. All LIRs will receive an email on 6 December with further instructions. If you have any questions or comments about this, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, We are in the process of rolling out RIPE NCC Access.

The migration will be performed on Tuesday, 29 November 2011 starting at 16:00 UTC when the maintenance window opens. Before the migration takes place, we need to temporarily disable the option for LIR Portal administrators to create new users starting on Monday, 28 November 2011 at 16:00 UTC. During this period, you will still be able to access and use the LIR Portal using your current credentials. After the migration is complete, you will no longer be able to log in to the LIR Portal using your old credentials. All LIRs will receive an email on 29 November with further instructions.

RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011 - Results
by Axel Pawlik 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The results of the Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011 were presented at the RIPE 63 Meeting, which took place in Vienna, Austria from 31 October-4 November 2011. The full report is available at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2011 These large-scale surveys are used by the RIPE NCC to assess its current service offering and to shape its strategy for the years ahead. The RIPE NCC carries out these every three years. They are extremely important in finding out the views of RIPE NCC members and other stakeholders on the direction the RIPE NCC should be taking as an organisation. An independent third party, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), conducted the analysis of the survey data. Any information that might identify the respondent was removed by the OII and was not made available to the RIPE NCC or published in the report. If you have any questions or comments relating to the survey, please email <surveys(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
