RIPE NCC Roundtable for Governments and Regulators
by Axel Pawlik 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NC is holding a Roundtable Meeting for Governments and Regulators on Wednesday, 30 March 2005 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The purpose of the meeting is to educate and improve relations between the RIPE NCC and officials from within our service region through open discussion. Invitees include ITU Member States (ministers and regulators), members of the ICANN GAC (Governmental Advisory Committee), WGIG (Working Group on Internet Governance) and other related parties. The focus of the discussions will be on Internet governance and management, with particular emphasis on issues of relevance to governments and regulators such as: - How to participate in and influence IP address management policy-making; - The industry self-regulatory open structures and processes used by the RIPE NCC and the global Internet community; - IPv4 / IPv6 address space; - Root name server operations and who is involved; - Internet Numbers and the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Process. More information, including a draft agenda, is available at: http://www.ripe.net/meetings/roundtable/march2005/index.html If you know of anyone who you feel should be invited, have any questions or would like more information, please send an email to: <roundtable(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Re: [ncc-services-wg] Page listing IP allocations sorted by country?

Hi, I have just noticed that a list of address allocations to LIRs is available on RIPE FTP server: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/membership/alloclist.txt A link to this file is included in both IPv4 and IPv6 pages of RIPE NCC website ("Internet Resources" section). This file replaces former allocs4 and allocs6 files. It contains both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, is easier to read (LIR identifiers are prefixed by their corresponding country codes) and data are even more consistent. There had been a number of messages exchanged on the subject here, some time ago. I would like to thank RIPE NCC for this job, and for making this information available again. Sincerely, Patrick.

AfriNIC Transition
by Axel Pawlik 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Dear Colleagues, AfriNIC is the emerging Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the African and Indian Ocean region. In preparation for its final recognition expected in April by ICANN, AfriNIC will begin operating as a fully functional RIR for the African region from 21 February 2005. The RIPE NCC is committed to its members and has therefore created a structured transition for members moving from the RIPE NCC to AfriNIC. Details of the transition can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/info/resource-admin/afrinic/ If you have questions regarding the transition to AfriNIC, please contacts us at <afritrans(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Axel Pawlik RIPE NCC

Re: Page listing IP allocations sorted by country

Dear Colleagues, There have recently been several requests for us to publish a single file listing all the address space allocated to LIRs. This information, ordered alphabetically by country code, is now published daily in a single file on our FTP site at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/membership/alloclist.txt In addition to this, we continue to publish country, LIR and allocation information in a number of different formats. You can: - Look at all allocations and assignments from the file at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest - Look at all 'free' space per /8 from the files in: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/issued/ - Download all database objects (without PoC data) as an archive in the file at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ripe.db.gz You can also run inverse queries, in the RIPE Database, for all all resources referencing an LIR's Organisation object. For example, you can find all the resources managed by the RIPE NCC like this: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -r -iorg ORG-NCC1-RIPE I hope this file meets people's needs. Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services Manager

RSS feeds of the ripe.net
by Hans Petter Holen 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

I just though of one or two ways to make the content on the RIPE.net even more accessible to the community. I think Vesna mentioned during her presentation at RIPE 48, RSS feeds of training anouncements, RSS feeds of other content like - new anouncements - new documents - etc could be very useful to keep up to date. (especialy after switching to an email program capable of handeling RSS feeds) The other option would be to set up a separate email list for such anouncements so that the title and abstract of every new publication on the site gets posted to the list. -hph

IRRToolSet maintenance moved from RIPE NCC to ISC
by Shane Kerr 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Colleagues, We are happy to announce that the maintenance for the IRRToolSet has moved from the RIPE NCC to the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC). Starting now, ISC will support software development and maintenance of this suite. The new web page for this is: http://www.isc.org/sw/IRRToolSet/ The mailing list has been moved. The new address is <irrtoolset(a)isc.org>. E-mail will be forwarded from the existing mailing list (*). The RIPE NCC believes that ISC's software development model matches the IRRToolSet requirements, and that ISC will be a better home for the software. Operators and developers will have a set-up that is more typical to collaborative open source software, from a company that is experienced and focused on it. The RIPE NCC is grateful to ISC for agreeing to maintain this useful set of tools. We will continue to provide support for RIPE-specific portions and work with ISC in refining the software. -- Shane Kerr Software Manager RIPE NCC (*) When the mailing list forwarding began, Thursday 2004-12-16, filtering was removed. Shortly after the mailing list filtering policy was changed to "subscriber only". Apologies for the unwanted mail received during this period.

> I also would like to see this list again! So would I :) This page used to be http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html And we also had http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs6.html Both have now disappeared... These pages listed IP allocations sorted by country and by LIR. I used them only for teaching purposes in my university, and they were INCREDIBLY useful for teaching CIDR! The other files containing country and LIR information that are still available do not fit the same purpose: - ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest and ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/issued/ do not contain LIR information - ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ripe.db.gz contains detailed and "raw" data, as compared to previous "allocs" files For a few days the October 2004 version of allocs4.html (not allocs6) was accessible at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/local-ir/allocations But now this one also has gone... I understand that the other RIRs did not have such files, and I used to be grateful to RIPE for these. Yet I still have a local copy for October 2004, but it is a pity not to be able to access any longer the up-to-date version! I first thought the file was withdrawn for "security reasons". But all the material inside is (presently) still publically avalaible in whois DB. Or even in the following files: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz (64113 KB) ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inet6num.gz (310 KB) And these files are much more complete and thus larger than the former allocs4 and allocs6... It seems that these pages had some interest for a few people. Usage Statistics for www.ripe.net in September 2004 at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/www3/www-http/usage_200409.html indicate that "allocs" files ranked 14 and 15 in the top entry pages: 14 2623 0.01% 1398 0.07% /ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs.html 15 2415 0.01% 974 0.05% /ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html with a total 5000 hits cumulated on that month, and similar stats in previous months... (They also ranked 5 and 6 in Top URLs by Kilobytes!) Hope I might contribute to a future reappearance of these files in any access protocol (FTP/HTTP/etc)? Sincerely, Patrick.
