Certifying of PI End User Address Space
by Andrew de la Haye 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, On 11 February, the RIPE NCC asked the RIPE NCC membership and the RIPE community for feedback on how to make Provider Independent (PI) End User address space eligible for resource certification (RPKI). Although we’ve received valuable input at several operator meetings and through various other communication channels, we want to emphasise the importance of your participation on this mailing list. We strongly encourage further feedback on this important issue, before the consultation period comes to a close. To summarise, the discussion so far involves three possible implementation options: 1) A PI End User becomes a RIPE NCC member 2) A PI End User requests a resource certificate through their sponsoring LIR and gets access to the ROA management system themselves, or delegates management to the sponsoring LIR 3) A PI End User requests a resource certificate directly from the RIPE NCC, without becoming a member, and obtains access to the ROA management system The feedback provided so far clearly differentiates between two groups of PI End Users: those who use the sponsoring LIR solely to request the PI resources but manage everything else themselves, and those who rely on the sponsoring LIR for everything, ranging from BGP routing to RIPE Database updates. In order to cater to both groups, the feedback so far suggests we facilitate both options 2 and 3, while option 1 will continue to remain available at all times. These options have different expected impacts on the RIPE NCC’s operations. The RIPE NCC does not expect option 1 or 2 to have a major impact, as they align with our current business practices. Option 3 would require PI End Users to have a direct contact with the RIPE NCC. As this would be a new venture for the RIPE NCC, we expect it would be the most labour intensive of the three options and would have the greatest impact in terms of resources. Some feedback has pointed out the lack of RIPE Policy on this issue. At this time, the RIPE NCC is requesting feedback on whether or not resource certification should expand beyond a RIPE NCC member service. Discussions about potential RIPE Policy, should this happen, can take place via the appropriate channels. Again, we strongly encourage your feedback before the consultation period ends on 30 March 2013, after which time the RIPE NCC Executive Board will recommend which option(s) to implement. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

End User Agreement question
by Hank Nussbacher 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

While reviewing the suggested RIPE NCC End User Agreement located at: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/independent-resources/… I see in section 4.3.a: "The End User shall use the Independent Internet Number Resources assigned to it for internal purposes within its own network only." Legal counsel has stated that based on the text provided, any IP address block or ASN assigned could only be used within a company/corporate/organization Intranet and publishing such resource on the global Internet would violate the End User Agreement. Who has used this draft agreement and did you change the text? Strange that no one has spotted this before. Regards, Hank

End User Assignment Agreement in Word?
by Hank Nussbacher 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

I am looking for a RIPE End User Agreement in Word format. The standard format can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/independent-resources/… or a PDF version can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/independent-resources/… But RIPE NCC does not provide a Word format which can then be editted by LIRs - sooooo I am looking for someone else who has taken the sample and converted it into Word format. Thanks, Hank

Pre-PDP discussion: "All RIPE documents should be plain text"
by Richard Hartmann 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

--Resending as the first mail seems to have been eaten by a grinch-- Dear all, this is the first in a series of emails which I hope will advance into PDPs and then updated policies. Some of them are closely related, but I submit them individually so that if there are any hold-ups with a specific one, the other ones can still progress. My first suggestion is: The canonical and binding format of all documents is plain text in UTF-8 encoding. If a document can not reasonably be stored as plain text, PDF/A-1a[1] will be used. If any document exists in both plain text and PDF/A-1a, plain text is binding. Any other form is considered non-binding as soon as a plain text or PDF/A-1a variant exist. All legacy documents which are still valid or relevant to current policies will be transformed within a year of this proposal becoming policy. The reasoning behind this should be obvious: Ensure that all documents will be in the most simple-to-parse format now and forever. Richard [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A

DNS outage
by Romeo Zwart 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, This morning, the RIPE NCC briefly experienced a problem on the ripe.net DNS servers. Operation of K-root and other public DNS services was not impacted at any time during this outage. At 11:45 UTC this morning, an error in the deployment script used to update the ripe.net zone caused a partial zone file to be activated. This caused the ripe.net DNS servers to return NX-domain responses for some valid hosts and/or subdomains in the ripe.net zone, which effectively rendered some of the RIPE NCC services unavailable during this period. DNS resolution for ripe.net was fully restored at 12:15 UTC. Caching of the erroneous responses may have caused reachability problems until 13:15 UTC. The error in the script has been identified and is only triggered in a specific corner case. This error will be corrected today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Incident start: 05-Mar-2013 11:45:01 UTC Incident end: 05-Mar-2013 12:14:58 UTC Regards, Romeo Zwart GII Services Manager RIPE NCC
