by Kaveh Ranjbar 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, We were busy throughout 2014 developing our technical services, including RIPE Atlas, K-root, our DNS services, RIPEstat and our research and analysis activities. I wanted to give you an update on their current state, as well as an overview of the direction we’d like to head in 2015. And of course, I’d like to hear your feedback about our proposed plans. You can find all the details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/ripe-ncc-technical-services-update <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/ripe-ncc-technical-services-update> I look forward to your comments and suggestions. Regards, Kaveh Ranjbar Chief Information Officer RIPE NCC

2014-06 Proposal Accepted (Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders)
by Marco Schmidt 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, Consensus has been reached, and the proposal for a change to RIPE Document ripe-605, "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders", has been accepted by the RIPE community. This policy change requires the RIPE NCC to publish the link between legacy holders and their sponsoring LIR. The RIPE NCC already publishes the sponsoring LIR for Provider Independent (PI) addresses and ASNs. You can find the full proposal at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-06 The new RIPE Document is called ripe-639 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-639 We estimate that this proposal will take about one month to fully implement. Details of the implementation status are available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation… We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place. Thank you to everyone who provided their input. Regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

Consensus on 2014-06 (Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders)
by Bijal Sanghani 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Greetings everyone, The “last call” phase for policy proposal 2014-16 has now ended. There were no comments in the last call phase which is fine as it’s not really needed - in Last Call “no comments at all” is good enough. Thus, the chairs hereby declare consensus on 2014-06. If you disagree with this decision please contact the working group chairs (preferably on this public mailing list and otherwise by sending mail to ncc-services-wg—chairs(a)ripe.net. Should that not resolve the problem then you can appeal to the WG chairs collective (as per section 4 of ripe-614). Marco will send the formal announcement from the NCC shortly. Best regards, Bijal and Kurtis NCC Services WG Chairs

New RIPE NCC Membership Application Form
by Laura Cobley 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the launch of the new RIPE NCC Membership Application Form. The new application process was created based on the feedback we received from newly-joined RIPE NCC members and from the RIPE NCC Survey 2013. Drawing on user experiences, we have been working to streamline the process of joining the RIPE NCC. The new application form offers a much more intuitive user experience. It also collects all information needed to apply for and subsequently manage RIPE NCC accounts, meaning that new members do not need to come back for assistance before requesting Internet number resources. If you or your contacts are interested in joining the RIPE NCC, the application form is available at: https://my.ripe.net/#/public/membership As always, we welcome your feedback on the new process and invite you to send comments to us at <new-account(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Laura Cobley RIPE NCC

RIPE request forms
by Havard Eidnes 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi, it seems that all the textual request forms we earlier used to interact with the e-mail based request handling service at the RIPE NCC has now been made much harder to find at the RIPE NCC web site. The underlying assumption seems to be that since the e-mail interaction with the RIPE NCC is now obsoleted, the only use for these forms has ceased to exist, so the documents have been made obsolete and can now only be found by searching. Finding the newest version of each of the individual request forms requires even more tedious work. This overlooks the fact that these documents are also very convenient one-piece collections of "this is the information we as a LIR require from you as an applicant to complete the application process for some resource with the RIPE NCC". Instead, me acting as a LIR is left with the LIR portal piecemal doling out the individual questions it wants answers to in multiple interaction steps, where each of the steps potentially require another interaction with the applicant. Am I alone in finding this to be frustrating? Regards, - Håvard

Subject: Text-Based Email Request Forms Now Archived
by Ingrid Wijte 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, On 7 October 2014, we announced our timeline for phasing out the text-based email request forms on our website: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2014-October/002890… As part of this, we have now archived all of the email request forms and supporting notes, except for ENUM requests. To request IPv4, IPv6 or ASNs from the RIPE NCC, members should now use either the request forms available through the LIR Portal, or the Resource Request API which has been developed for members with workflows preventing them from using the LIR Portal forms. You can find the API and supporting documentation here: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/developer-documentation/resource-request-api In the interests of transparency, we have also published the information that LIRs need to provide in order to complete a request form. You can find this here: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/supporting-notes-for-… In case members require additional time to adjust their internal processes, our systems will continue to accept email-based request forms for a further three months, until the end of May 2015. Best regards Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, On 14 September 2012, the RIPE NCC started allocating IPv4 addresses based on the last /8 policy. With more than two years passed, we look at the effects this had on membership numbers and demographics. We also look at what the last /8 policy meant for IPv6 uptake. Please find the results on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/ripe-ncc-membership-statistics-2014 Kind regards, Mirjm Kuehne RIPE NCC

Contact Management Project Update
by Laura Cobley 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Dear colleagues, On 19 January 2015, we outlined our plans to improve the way members can manage their contact information in the LIR Portal: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2015-January/000888.html The two-week period for feedback has ended, and we would like to thank you for your comments, which we are taking into account as we continue work on this project. We will begin by consolidating the LIR Portal categories on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. We will inform all RIPE NCC Members / LIR Portal Administrators separately so that everyone is aware who has access to their account and how to adjust this, if needed. You can find more details about our plans in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/laura_cobley/simplifying-contact-management-i… We will continue to inform you about the work on this project as it progresses. Kind regards, Laura Cobley RIPE NCC Customer Services Manager
