Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources
by Axel Pawlik 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC, after receiving feedback from the RIPE community on the draft version, has published the procedural RIPE Document ripe-517, "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources". The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-517 This document replaces sections in two RIPE Documents that deal with the closure of LIRs and the deregistration of resources: - Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of ripe-301, "Mergers, Acquisitions, Takeovers and Closures of Organisations Operating an LIR". These sections are entitled "Closing an LIR" and "When an LIR is Closed by the RIPE NCC", respectively. The updated version of this RIPE Document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-515 - Sections 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 of ripe-475, "Independent Internet Number Resources - Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User". These sections are entitled “De-registering of Independent Internet Number Resources”, “Closure of Sponsoring LIR” and "Violation of RIPE Policy, Law or Contract", respectively. The updated version of this RIPE Document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-516 The RIPE NCC would like to thank the RIPE community for its feedback. An interactive chart that helps to explain the process of closure of LIRs and deregistration of Internet number resources will be available shortly. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

documentation about the minimum allocation/assignment sizes for v4 and v6 across the RIRs
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I got a request from one of our customers, regarding documentation of the minimum allocation and assignment sizes of the various IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks. The initial cause of the research was creating filters that reasonably allow IPv6 PI prefices (which are longer than /35 or /32). I found the relevant info for the RIPE NCC's Service Region in http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-510 Now I am wondering - does anyone have a list of URLs or pointers to docs for the other 4 RIRs, which would provide similar information? As an aside, it would be nice to have such information accessible in one place, maybe by way of the NRO's website :-) TIA, Wilfried.

Whither dnsmon?
by Hank Nussbacher 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

RIPE NCC lists dnsmon here: http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/dnsmon/ripe-ncc-dns-monitoring-services and indicates on that page to go to: http://dnsmon.ripe.net/ yet going to that link provides an "internal server error". Aren't RIPE NCC services monitored to make sure they are up? -Hank

This MUST NOT be delayed any further (considering the long time this has been worked AND having missed a committed delivery date [Jan 1 2011] already. I have more comments (which may seem to dilute the primary statement, but hopefully help to fix problems and make more progress) This policy is simpler and more limited than would seem adequate and desirable in today's situation; it was more appropriate when initial versions were proposed. Even while some open ends are recognized the initial policy should be put in place to clearly indicate that the RIPE community is in control of setting policy for the operation of the NCC RPKI service; however we also need to recognize there is a challenge to deal here with more complexity and deeper technical detail compared with [most] other RIPE policies; this includes even the question of just how to identify/separate community and user relevant policy from implementation details. I see need for discussion of the NCC's impact analysis and other related documents (potentially including the process for document control). I have one clear and simple problem (=objection) to the NCC's impact analysis: I do not understand how the NCC can conclude that "this proposal only applies to IPv4 ..."; I do not see such restriction in the language of the proposal - and I'm sure that contributors to the proposal certainly would have expressed this unambiguously if that had been the intention. So I would like to emphasize that the intended policy OF COURSE covers both address families - and the definition of RPKI anyway! Inclusion of IPv6 is a MUST! If RIPE NCC has not yet implemented support of IPv6 they need to tell us the expected delivery date! As related documents I see (a) CPS (b) "... Deregistration of Internet number resources" (c) Certification Service Terms and Conditions (d) Certification Repository Terms and Conditions The need for (a) and (b) has been pointed out for more than 2 years; progress has been slow and late. Having a CPS is a standard requirement for serious [R]PKI CAs. I don't remember that there has been any mentioning of something like (c) and (d) in previous discussion and so they show up as somewhat of a surprise. The documents and their relation need some discussion, in particular with regard to how functions are distributed and to identify (and place) the relevant policy pieces. Somewhat as an example I'd like to mention: The elaborate standard structure that is defined for the CPS clearly includes parts that are defining user relevant policy details (some of which came up in the discussion of this policy proposal) as well as documentation of lots of implementation details that clearly should be left completely in the NCC's responsibility. (c) duplicates parts of the CPS and claims priority over the CPS and classifies the CPS as "explanatory document" - this looks questionable to me. Is it really acceptable that no notifications about replacements for revoked certificates are provided? (maybe OK for hosted service; hard to believe with full RPKI distributed CAs) For meeting the challenges and more satisfactory and satisfying results we need to establish a more detailed activity plan and focussed work.
