Changing IP addresses of whois.ripe.net
by Agoston Horvath 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Dear Colleagues, On Wednesday, 17 June 2009 at 13:00 (UTC), the RIPE NCC will change both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of whois.ripe.net to point to the new whois query cluster. If you have the old IP addresses hardwired, you will be able to continue to use them for one more month. After this, the old whois query cluster will be disabled, and RIPE Database queries and near real-time mirroring (NRTM) will only be available through the new whois query cluster. In order to avoid having to make changes in the future, you should always use the DNS name whois.ripe.net to access the RIPE Database. If you have any questions, please email <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Agoston Horvath Software Engineer RIPE NCC

by Andrea Cima 30 May '09

30 May '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC has implemented the second phase of "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC". In this phase the RIPE NCC will contact all LIRs to request information regarding existing direct resources requested through that LIR. This will be done via the LIR Portal. All LIR Portal users will receive a notification email on 28 May 2009 detailing the process. Details of the implementation are available at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/pi-existing-assignments.html Timelines: Before September 2009: LIRs need to indicate which resources should stay with that LIR. This will affect the charging scheme for 2010. Before 31 December 2009: LIRs must upload contracts and registration papers for all resources still associated with that LIR. More information on the requirements of the contractual agreement can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/membership/lir-end-user-requirements.html Kind regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC

If you wish to keep the information for documentation purposes, change the"rev-srv:" attributes into "remarks:" attributes. The "rev-srv:" attribute has also been removed from the list of inverse query options. Stage 3 is planned to be completed before RIPE 59. A further announcement will be made before the cleanup is performed. If you have any questions about this, please contact ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC
