by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Dear colleagues, We have been hard at work getting our redesigned website ready for the launch next week, and are now in the final stages of the project. We've published a series of articles about the project and the latest one, which focuses on the new visual design, is now available on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/redesigning-the-ripe-ncc-website-… In order to make the switch to the new site, we have scheduled maintenance on Monday, 13 April from 5:30 - 7:30 UTC to work on the server infrastructure behind www.ripe.net. We don’t expect this work to impact visitors to the site, but there may be occasional disruptions during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Beginning Monday, we hope you will take the opportunity to visit the new site and explore some of the new features. Once we have successfully switched over all applications and related websites to the new template, we will send another announcement. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - https://www.ripe.net/

Phase 1 of Deprecation of "changed:" Attribute Deployed to RIPE Database Release Candidate Environment
by Tim Bruijnzeels 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Dear colleagues, The RIPE Database Working Group has asked the RIPE NCC to replace the “changed:” attribute in the RIPE Database with “created:” and “last-modified:”. We want to inform the wider community, in case you have any feedback you would like to share with the Database WG. Following discussions at RIPE 69, we met with the WG chairs and finalised an implementation plan consisting of three phases: 1) Introduce the new attributes “created:” and “last-modified:” 2) Make the "changed:" attribute optional 3) Deprecate the "changed:" attribute Details of this implementation plan can be found here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/tim/deprecating-the-changed-attribute-in-the-… <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/tim/deprecating-the-changed-attribute-in-the-…> We recently informed the Database WG that Phase 1 of this implementation had been deployed to the Release Candidate environment. We are planning to deploy this to the production environment on 28 April: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2015-March/004504.html <https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2015-March/004504.html> If you have any questions or comments, please raise them on the RIPE Database WG mailing list at <db-wg(a)ripe.net <mailto:db-wg@ripe.net>>. Kind regards, Tim Bruijnzeels Assistant Manager Software Engineering RIPE NCC

Editorial update to Policy Development Process in RIPE published as ripe-642
by Hans Petter Holen 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, When ripe-614, "Policy Development Process in RIPE" was published last year, it contained an out-of-date reference. The last sentence in Section 2 currently says: "This process is documented in Appendix C, RIPE Policy Development Dispute Resolution." This appendix was replaced by Section 3, "Appealable Actions". This sentence has been removed and the updated RIPE Document, ripe-642 is now published. You can find this here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-642 Sincerely, -- Hans Petter Holen, RIPE Chair Mobile +47 45 06 60 54 | hph(a)oslo.net | http://hph.oslo.net

by Marco Schmidt 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, Please find below the monthly overview of open policy proposals and the stage they have reached in the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP). If you wish to join the discussions about a proposal, please do so on the relevant working group mailing list. Proposals Open for Discussion: 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments" – discussion open until 19 May 2015 Proposals at Last Call: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources" - opinion can be stated until 3 April 2015 Proposals awaiting decision from proposer: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations" Proposals accepted: 2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8" 2014-06, "Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders" 2014-12, "Allow IPv6 Transfers" 2014-13, "Allow AS Number Transfers" 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 an AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase (extended) WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 19 May 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 ===== The following proposal is in Last Call. Rough consensus has been 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: 2014-05, "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. STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 3 April FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05 ===== The following proposal is awaiting decision from proposer on how to proceed. PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations" OVERVIEW: Currently IPv4 allocations received from another LIR only can be re-allocated after 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by the RIPE NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to align the transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for all IPv4 allocations. STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting Decision from Proposer FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2015-01 ===== The following proposals have been accepted since the last RIPE Policy Proposal Update. The RIPE NCC has started the implementation of these policy changes. The RIPE NCC will follow the policy change once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place. PROPOSAL: 2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8" OVERVIEW: Previously, 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 removed this requirement. STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: Implemented on 18 March 2015 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 requested the RIPE NCC to publish the link between legacy holders and their sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR). STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: April 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-06 PROPOSAL: 2014-12, "Allow IPv6 Transfers" OVERVIEW: This proposal allowed the transfer of IPv6 allocations and IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments. STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: June/July 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-12 PROPOSAL: 2014-13, "Allow AS Number Transfers" OVERVIEW: This proposal allowed to transfer Autonomous System (AS) numbers. STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: June/July 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-13 The implementation status of accepted policy proposals can be reviewed here: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation… The RIPE NCC provides an overview of current RIPE Policy Proposals on www.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.

Survey on Trust in RIRs
by Desiree 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi As part of my research on Trust in Internet governance, I would hugely appreciate up to 15 minutes of your time, that you will never get back, to complete a short survey on Trust in RIRs. The survey was launched today March 20 and it ends on March 30, 2015. This is *not* an RIR-initiated survey. The survey is part of University of Malta's Program in Internet governance, designed to conduct research into the trust that members have in the RIR's work and overall governance processes. The RIR and their members have done a huge amount of good work during the past year on the IANA Stewardship Transition Process. This work is very important and will be ongoing. A number of issues will arise; two of them being Governance and Trust. This study examines existing views as a contribution to the overall work. Participants are given an absolute assurance of individual confidentiality. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/InRirW3Trust23 Apologies for any cross-posting to members. Thank you so much in advance for taking part in this! Desiree --

Call for participation: mPlane Industrial Workshop - Barcellona - April 22nd
by Marco Mellia 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Dear all, This workshop may be of interest for someone in this community. Please, feel free to forward it to your colleagues. Notice that participation is free, and there is a discount in case you also want to attend the TMA workshop. Details below and at http://www.ict-mplane.eu/public/news/mplane-industrial-workshop-barcelona-a… <http://www.ict-mplane.eu/public/news/mplane-industrial-workshop-barcelona-a…> Ciao Marco ———— mPlane industrial workshop in Barcelona, April 22 2015 Call for Participation The research project mPlane (http://www.ict-mplane.eu <http://www.ict-mplane.eu/>), sponsored by the European Commission with the goal of measuring and troubleshooting Internet performance and availability by building an Intelligent Measurement Plane for Future Network and Application Management, organizes an industrial workshop to showcase the technology developed within the project, and to stimulate the discussion towards the creation of a common Monitoring Plane for the Internet. Nowadays, the technologies that are available when monitoring a network are very fragmented and no standard means is offered to access the data each probe can produce. mPlane architecture is addressing this problem by offering a simple and very practical way to i) ask probes to run experiments, ii) collect results in large repositories, and iii) running automatic algorithms to extract useful information from the available data. The mPlane architecture supports use cases that spans from SLA verification, to CDN monitoring, from mobile access network troubleshooting, to passive content curation. The workshop aims to stimulate discussion on the open problems and challenges in the network monitoring space and targets both academic researchers working in the area, and industrial partners (manufacturers, network providers, integrators). When: April 22, 2015 Where: Barcelona, UPC campus How much: Free More info: http://tma-2015.cba.upc.edu/mplane(link is external) <http://tma-2015.cba.upc.edu/mplane> The workshop, with invited speakers among industrial partners, will take place April 22, 2015, in the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain, and it is co-located with the 7th edition of the International Workshop of Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA). This workshop brings together practical use cases relevant to operators and providers and discusses topics about proactive and reactive troubleshooting for network communications at a scale. Particular attention would be dedicated to discussing the definition of a measurement plane for the Internet, to shed light on the Internet quality. The keynote speakers will share with us their views about the challenges faced by the industry in the areas of network monitoring and measurements, and share their experiences in bringing to the market innovative solutions. Additionally, the workshop will host a showroom session, with the participation of several industries and startups. The workshop is provided free of charge. To register, please go to http://tma-2015.cba.upc.edu/mplane-registration(link is external) <http://tma-2015.cba.upc.edu/mplane-registration>, and make sure to use “bcn-mplane” as registration code. You can also register to both the mPlane workshop and TMA conference and get a discount of 30 EUR on the latter. Don’t miss the opportunity to participate! Register today!
