Re: [ncc-services-wg] 2012-07's direct engagement option

Dear Sascha, [I am still investigating why my mailer sent two empty mails to the list. I suspect this is due to some special character in the message I was replying to. I am sorry for the inconvenience.] >> The annual fee is the same, yes, but also in the 2015 charging scheme: "Legacy Internet resource holders that become a member do not have to pay a sign-up fee." So for the audience of 2012-07, becoming a LIR is a flat one-off EUR 2000 cheaper than a separate direct agreement. > > At least it makes the intention clear - the NCC wants to gain control of > these legacy resources I am afraid I do not understand why you think the charging scheme could help the RIPE NCC gain control over legacy resources. To my understanding, all legacy resources would be marked as "legacy" irrespective of the fact that the holder (1) becomes a member, (2) is already a member an extends the contract to cover the legacy resources as well, (3) uses a sponsoring LIR, (4) enters in direct contractual relationship wit the NCC or (5) does not sign any contract at all. The RIPE NCC may not de-register the legacy resources unless asked to do so by the resource holder. Moreover, if the contract (with the member, the sponsoring LIR or DAU) is terminated, the resource is simply flagged "No contract". Best regards, Janos > (whereas the goal of 2012-07, AIUI, is to ensure > a way to keep resources registered, without the holders giving up > control). IMO this implementation negates many of the changes that came > out of the long debate on this proposal... > > rgds, > Sascha Luck

Implementation plan for 2012-07, "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders"
by Xavier Le Bris 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has updated the implementation plan for ripe-605 "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders" (accepted policy proposal 2012-07): https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation… The implementation that specifically relates to the RIPE Database has been updated in line with these revisions: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation… We have revised this plan so that all AUT-NUM and parent legacy Internet resource holders will be notified of status changes in one batch. These notifications will be sent when the software is deployed to the Resource Candidate (RC) Test Environment. When the software is deployed to production, after RIPE 68, all status values will be generated or set on the same day. Notifying all resource holders in the same, single batch ensures consistency and accuracy across the entries in the RIPE Database. The process of contacting all resource holders in multiple batches would have been a more time-consuming and drawn out process. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or feedback. Kind regards, Xavier Le Bris IP Resource Analyst

Question about AW history in the LIR Portal
by Erik Bais 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Hi, Having seen the email from Alex on Monday in regards to the changes about invalids in the ASUSED report, the question that came to my mind is what the (future) use is for: - Assignment Window (and history) >From what we see, is that the RIPE NCC is currently adjusting the tools (Like the Portal and APIs) for the 2013-03 implementation. I think that is a good thing and I would like to ask here in the group if there are people who require their AW status or history from the past, now that there is no need for justification. For all I care you can assign your complete allocation for 1 customer as long as you document it properly in the database The same probably goes for the list of Assignments Made by RIPE NCC in the Portal the approved assignments outside your AW by the RIPE NCC hostmasters. Obviously it is nice for historic reference .. however .. is it needed ? Is it required for future use ? These could be removed imho and people can document them in the database themselves and it will make the way that we look as assignments within PA space a lot easier I think. Perhaps it is currently still required for audit reasons by the IPRAs ? But if we are getting rid of the invalids .. why not get rid of the AW and RIPE Approved Assignments as well ? Regards, Erik Bais

Assisted Registry Check - First Results
by Matt Parker 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, In the final quarter of 2013, the RIPE NCC launched the Assisted Registry Check (ARC) for our members. This enhancement to the RIPE NCC's audit activities was initiated after feedback from members indicated that our earlier audit process could do with some improvement. The initial group of Assisted Registry Checks were concluded in the first quarter of 2014 and the RIPE NCC has carried out an in-depth review of the feedback we received. The results of this review have now been published in the following RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/matt_parker/assisted-registry-check-first-res… We have also incorporated this feedback into our procedures for future Assisted Registry Checks, to ensure they remain useful and relevant for our members. If you would like to volunteer for an Assisted Registry Check, please send an email to <lir-help(a)ripe.net> and we will contact you with further details. Kind regards, Matt Parker Registration Services RIPE NCC

Changes to IP Analyser web interface and API (incl. "asused")
by Alex Band 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, We are in the process of implementing the policy regarding Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures (2013-03). One of the services that will be affected is the IP Analyser. This tool provides an overview of all invalid assignments, as described here: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/number-resources/inva… Some elements have become redundant, which means we will be making several changes to the web interface, as well as the API which offers JSON and plain text “asused” style output. If you have any scripts that use this output, please check the following article on RIPE Labs so you can prepare for the upcoming changes: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/modifications-to-the-ip-analyser-to-… We intend to implement these changes on 16 April 2014. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

RIPE Database Release 1.72 - including SSO Integration
by Denis Walker 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce RIPE Database release 1.72. For more information about the features, changes and how this release might affect your operations, please see these release notes: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.72 A major feature introduced in this release is the integration of RIPE Database services with RIPE NCC Access. This gives maintainers the option to use their RIPE NCC Access account for authorising updates to the RIPE Database. The first applications that utilise this feature are Webupdates and Syncupdates from a web form. Linking a RIPE NCC Access account to an organisation is a requirement for certifying PI address space. No change has been made to existing authorisation options. This release also fixes a number of issues, so please read the release notes. By fixing certain issues with the JSON output from the REST API, the structure of that output has changed slightly. This should not affect any users as it was broken in the first place. To ensure this is the case, please test your implementation in the Release Candidate environment. More information about the Release Candidate environment is described in this document: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/rc-release-candidate-envir… We look forward to hearing any questions or comments you might have. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team
