[news] RIPE Policy Proposals - January Update
by Marco Schmidt 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Dear colleagues, This mail provides a simple overview of open policy proposals and the stage they have reached in the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP). We will send one of these summary emails every month. By doing so, we hope to make the PDP more accessible to the community and help people keep track of what is being discussed. If you wish to join the discussions about a proposal, please do so on the relevant working group mailing list. If you have feedback on how we can improve these emails, please respond to me directly. Proposals Open for Discussion: 2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments” – Discussion open until 22 January 2015 2014-05, “Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources” - Discussion open until 9 February 2015 2014-12, “Allow IPv6 Transfers” - Discussion open until 21 January 2015 2014-13, “Allow AS Number Transfers” - Discussion open until 21 January 2015 Proposals at Last Call: 2014-04, “Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8” – Opinion can be stated until 12 February 2015 2014-06, “Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders” – Opinion can be stated until 13 February 2015 Proposal Overviews: PROPOSAL: 2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments” OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when requesting an Autonomous System (AS) Number. It is proposed to remove the need evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per organization to 1,000 and require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End User that decides if the need for the AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 22 January 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 PROPOSAL: 2014-05, “Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources” OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of Internet resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region from RIRs that require needs-based policies, recipients must provide the RIPE NCC with a plan for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within five years. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the RIRs ARIN (North America) and APNIC (Asia-Pacific) confirmed that the proposed text is compatible with their transfer policies. Currently, the proposed inter-RIR transfer policy would apply to IPv4 PA allocations, IPv4 PI assignments and legacy resources. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 9 February FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05 PROPOSAL: 2014-12, “Allow IPv6 Transfers” OVERVIEW: The goal of this new proposal is to allow the transfer of IPv6 address space within the RIPE NCC service region. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the proposal would allow the transfer of IPv6 allocations and IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments (or parts of them) from the rightfully registered resource holder to a new resource holder. STATUS:Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 21 January FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-12 PROPOSAL: 2014-13, “Allow AS Number Transfers” OVERVIEW: The goal of this new proposal is to allow the transfer of AS Numbers within the RIPE NCC service region. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the proposal would allow the transfer of AS Numbers from the rightfully registered resource holder to a new resource holder. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 21 January FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-13 ===== The following proposals are in Last Call. Rough consensus was declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a final opportunity to present well-justified objections in case anyone wants to oppose the proposal. PROPOSAL: 2014-04, “Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8” OVERVIEW: Currently, in order to receive a final /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) must have an IPv6 allocation in the RIPE NCC service region. This proposal aims to remove this requirement. STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 12 February FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04 PROPOSAL: 2014-06, “Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders” OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to publish the link between legacy Internet resource holders and their sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR). STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: The RIPE NCC Services Working Group – ncc-services-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 13 February FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-06 The RIPE NCC provides an overview of current RIPE Policy Proposals on ripe.net: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/current-proposals/current-policy-proposa… Full information about how the PDP works is available in ripe-614, “Policy Development Process in RIPE”: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-614 We look forward to your involvement in the PDP.

Internet Number Community IANA Proposal Published and Submitted
by Paul Rendek 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Dear colleagues, On 15 January, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team submitted the Internet numbers community’s proposal on IANA stewardship to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Team (ICG), as requested by the ICG. The proposal is available on the NRO website: https://www.nro.net/news/final-proposal-crisp This submission represents the culmination of discussions in each of the five Regional Internet Registry (RIR) communities, and around six weeks of intense work on the part of the CRISP team (made up of three representatives from each regional community) to consolidate the output from those discussions. This process involved publishing two earlier drafts and incorporating feedback received from the community to produce a final proposal that represents a consensus position of the global Internet numbers community. The key elements of the proposal are: - That the RIRs will establish a binding Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the IANA functions operator concerning provision of IANA services relating to the Internet number registries. - That ICANN will continue in its current role as IANA functions operator to ensure stability and continuity of IANA services, but with mechanisms in place for the Internet number community to change operator, should the need arise. - That a community-based Review Committee will be established to advise the RIRs on the performance of the IANA functions operator. - That all involved parties affirm that all relevant intellectual property rights (including trademarks, domain names and other rights) reside either in the public domain or, where appropriate, with the RIRs or another agreed entity. Over the coming months, the ICG will work to consolidate proposals received from the three affected communities (numbers, names and protocol parameters), with the goal of producing a single proposal on IANA stewardship for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) by the June 2015. Feedback from the global community will be an important element of this process, and regular updates will be posted to the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. More information on the IANA stewardship transition is available at: https://www.ripe.net/iana-stewardship-transition Best regards, Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC RIPE NCC CRISP Team representative

Call for Presentations RIPE 70
by Filiz Yilmaz 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 70 below. The deadline for submissions is 1 March 2015. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc --------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 70 will take place from 11-15 May 2015 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 70. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations - Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for "lightning talks", which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following general requirements apply: - Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 1 March 2015, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. Important Dates regarding RIEP 70 can be found at: https://ripe70.ripe.net/programme/important-dates/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (*https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/ <https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/>*) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. - Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panellists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. ---------------------

IANA Stewardship: Give Feedback on the Draft Proposal From the RIR Communities
by Paul Rendek 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, The Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team has published the first draft of an Internet numbers community proposal for the future of the IANA stewardship. The draft is available here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/CRISP-IANA-PROPOSAL-First-Draft1.pdf This document represents the first effort to bring together the outcomes of IANA stewardship discussions in the five RIR communities. It aligns closely with the principles agreed by the RIPE community: - It proposes a new contractual arrangement between the RIRs and ICANN for ICANN’s continuing management of the IANA functions - It does not seek to change any of the existing global or regional policy development structures - It provides for review of the IANA operator’s performance and compliance with contractual obligations The draft also proposes forming a community-based Review Committee that would produce an annual, non-binding report on the performance of the IANA operator. This concept evolved from the Multistakeholder Oversight Numbers Council (MONC) that was originally proposed by the LACNIC community. Community feedback is being sought on this draft proposal, with a deadline of Monday, 5 January 2015. Feedback can be sent to the global NRO IANA Transfer mailing list, <ianaxfer(a)nro.net>, or can be sent to the appropriate regional mailing lists. The RIPE CRISP representatives will be closely following discussions on the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list, as well as the global discussion.
