Deadline Extended: 2012 IPv6 Global Deployment Monitoring Survey
by Axel Pawlik 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, The 2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey has been extended to *Friday, 13 July.* If you have not already completed the survey, please take a few minutes to do so at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 This is the third consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready and moving toward widespread adoption of IPv6. We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please email: info(a)gnksconsult.com Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Perspectives on the ITR Revisions
by Mirjam Kuehne 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, Please find two new articles on RIPE Labs contributed by APNIC Chief Scientist Geoff Huston: 1. Occam's ITRs https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/occams-itrs In this article Geoff talks about the upcoming review of the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) and how this could potentially affect your network operations. 2. The QoS Emperor's Wardrobe https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/the-qos-emperors-wardrobe This article looks at the history and status of Quality of Service (QoS). Recent proposals for revising the ITRs have suggested basing a new IP interconnection framework around the concept of end-to-end Quality of Service. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Royal Honour Bestowed on Kees Neggers, Former RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman
by Axel Pawlik 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, On 20 June 2012, Kees Neggers, who served on the RIPE NCC Executive Board from 1999 to 2008, was made an Officer in the Order of Orange Nassau (Orde van Oranje Nassau). The royal honour was bestowed by the Mayor of Heumen at a symposium for Kees's outstanding contribution to Dutch society. During his tenure as Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, Kees ensured the strong involvement of Europe in the administration of the Internet worldwide and the Netherlands’s continued position as a centre of excellence for the Internet industry. He oversaw the administration of the Internet in over 100 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. It was during his tenure on the RIPE NCC Board that Africa was able to establish its own RIR to be become one of the five organisations managing Internet number resources in the world today. Kees has always ensured that the Netherlands was involved in the task forces that drove the development of the Internet globally. He led the involvement of SURFnet and other Dutch technology companies in sharing best practices and experiences with similar organisations around the world. He has always been a strong advocate for the principles of open, inclusive and bottom-up industry self-regulation. It is these very principles that still guide RIPE, the RIPE NCC, TERENA and others that contribute to the successful management of the Internet globally. Kees Neggers is one of the most influential figures in the Internet community. He was instrumental in shaping the model that is currently used to manage the global IP address system. We ask that you join us in congratulating Kees on receiving this very special honour. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Resource Certification (RPKI) reaches 1000 LIR landmark
by Alex Band 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, Today, 18 months after launching the RIPE NCC Resource Certification (RPKI) service, the 1,000th LIR has requested a digital certificate for their Internet number resources. The service has come a long way, from a prototype developed in 2006 to a full production service in collaboration with the other Regional Internet Registries, aimed at making the RIR Registries more robust and BGP routing more secure. Resource Certification offers LIRs validatable proof of holdership. In addition, it allows LIRs to make cryptographically verifiable statements about which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the IP prefixes they hold. The toolset developed by the RIPE NCC to validate and use this data has been downloaded hundreds of times in the last months and is actively used by many organisations to make better BGP routing decisions. For more information, please visit: http://ripe.net/certification Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
