Dear colleagues,
Are you interested in hosting the RIPE 74 Meeting, from 15-19 May 2017?
We are searching for dependable organisations to help us host the RIPE
74 Meeting outside of the Netherlands. The host helps with Internet
connectivity, venue scouting, administrative and on-site support, and
assists in finding local sponsors. In return, the host organisation
enjoys excellent visibility among the RIPE community and the prestige of
hosting a RIPE Meeting.
Interested? Please find more information at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-74
You can send your proposal by 22 June 2015 to: meeting(a)ripe.net.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Gergana Petrova
Conference Coordinator
RIPE NCC
Dear colleagues,
Here is our monthly overview of open policy proposals and their stage in
the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP).
If you wish to join the discussion about a particular proposal, please
do so on the relevant working group mailing list.
Proposals Open for Discussion:
NEW: 2015-05, “Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria”
Proposals Accepted:
2015-03, “Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size”
Proposals Awaiting Input:
2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments”
2015-04, “RIPE Resource Transfer Policies”
Proposal Overviews:
NEW PROPOSAL: 2015-05, “Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria”
OVERVIEW: Aims to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4
allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months. This would only be
possible if the LIR has not transferred any IPv4 address space before.
STATUS: Discussion Phase
WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net
DEADLINE: 18 November 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-05
=====
The following proposal has been accepted since the last update.
PROPOSAL: 2015-03, “Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size”
OVERVIEW: Introduces new criteria for the evaluation of large IPv6
allocation requests. These new criteria are hierarchical and
geographical structure and segmentation for security and planned
longevity. The current requirements, number of users and extent of
infrastructure, are retained.
STATUS: Accepted
IMPLEMENTATION: Implemented on 7 October 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03
=====
The following proposals are awaiting input before they can go any
further in the PDP.
PROPOSAL: 2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number
Assignments”
OVERVIEW: Aims to ease the requirements when requesting an Autonomous
System (AS) Number. To this end, the following actions are proposed:
- Remove the need for evaluation
- Limit the number of AS Numbers per organisation to 1,000
- Require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that it will be the End
User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable.
STATUS: Review Phase - awaiting new proposal version
WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03
PROPOSAL: 2015-04, “RIPE Resource Transfer Policies”
OVERVIEW: Aims to create a single transfer policy with all relevant
information on the transfer of Internet number resources, replacing text
in several RIPE Policies. The proposal also introduces a 24-month
holding period for IPv4 addresses and 16-bit ASNs after any change of
holdership.
STATUS: Discussion Phase - awaiting impact analysis*
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04
*The goal of the impact analysis is to provide supporting information to
facilitate discussions about the proposal and to outline the proposal’s
possible impact if it were to be accepted.
