Re: [ncc-services-wg] New article on RIPE Labs: Redesigning ripe.net

Hello Aleksi Thanks for your feedback. I think I need to clarify a couple of things, which I should have made a little more clear in the article. Firstly, the article relates specifically to www.ripe.net, our public website. These changes won’t affect the functionality or design of our other websites such as the RIPE Database, stat.ripe.net, atlas.ripe.net, etc. This means that your workflow shouldn’t be affected if you’re using one of these tools. Secondly, in the article, “fully responsive design” refers to the practice of making a website’s layout change based on the size of the screen on which it is presented. Generally this practice doesn’t change the content on the page itself, instead it moves the content around to best fit the screen size and orientation. For example, a page displayed on a tablet device would use a slightly smaller font size and reduced image sizes compared to how the page would display on the larger screen of a laptop. The page’s HTML and contents would be the same in both cases, and the transition between layouts doesn't require the page to reload. This also shouldn’t affect your workflow, and the changes we’re making in this respect will be limited to the www.ripe.net website. I hope this answers your concerns. If not, please feel free to reach out and I can provide more detail.

Decommissioning Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List and IPv4 Transfer Listing Service
by James Kennedy 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, At its meeting on 6 October 2023, the RIPE NCC Executive Board resolved to decommission the Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List and the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service [1]. Following from this, we are currently in the process of removing the brokers list and informing all of the brokers that we have signed a ‘Recognised IPv4 Broker Agreement’ with. The Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List will be removed from our website on 31 December 2023. We also plan to start decommissioning the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service after RIPE 87 and expect this to be completed in Q1 2024. As noted in the Executive Board meeting minutes, the brokers list is no longer fulfilling its intended purpose. At the same time, the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service has reached the end of its life and requires significant development work, which we do not have the resources for. The Board therefore decided to retire both services. Ending these services makes us wonder what role, if any, the RIPE NCC should play in the IPv4 transfer market going forward. I will briefly discuss this in my update at the RIPE NCC Services Working Group during RIPE 87 next week. We plan to start a consultation in early 2024 to ask members and the community what they would like to see from us here. Regards, James Kennedy Chief Registry Officer RIPE NCC [1] 168th Executive Board Meeting Minutes: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2023/minutes-168th-ex…

Update of RIPE NCC Procedural Document : Closure Procedure
by Kevin Brennan 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Procedural document 'Closure of Members, Deregistration of Internet Resources and Legacy Resources' has been reviewed and updated. The following is an overview of the amendment made. Section A.1.2.2. (e) Termination with Immediate Effect was amended through deletion of the wording which required official postal notification, alongside the official notification by email, for termination of the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement (SSA) in the case of non-payment of the annual contribution (service fee) after a period of 120 days from the date of invoice. The main reason for this change is that the final notification of termination of the SSA by post is superfluous in the case of termination of the SSA due to non-payment as the member has already received numerous periodic notifications over the course of 120 days and the cause for termination in these instances cannot, in any event, be refuted. Further, termination due to non-payment is the most frequent cause for termination of the SSA and therefore removing the postal notification requirement will reduce the RIPE NCC's administrative burden and associated costs. Thus, in future cases whereby a member’s SSA is terminated due to non-payment the member will receive official notification by email only to their registered contacts. You can find the updated documents at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-808 Kind regards, Kevin Brennan Legal Counsel RIPE NCC
