RIPE 46 Meeting Report
Dear Colleagues:
The RIPE 46 Meeting was held from 1 - 5 September 2003 at the Grand Hotel
Krasnapolsky, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. There were a total of 307
attendees comprised of the RIPE NCC membership, the RIPE community and
government representatives. Attendees also included representatives from
APNIC, ARIN, AfriNIC, LACNIC and ICANN.
HIGHLIGHTS
==========
Highlights of RIPE 46 included the open discussion on the services of the
RIPE NCC during the first session of the RIPE NCC Services Working Group; a
presentation on current RIPE NCC services and plans for 2004 by Axel
Pawlik, Managing Director, RIPE NCC; an AfriNIC update; and an update on
the changes to Test Traffic Measurement.
The European Operators Forum (EOF) featured a full-day tutorial on Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and ENUM that included an overview of current
technologies and a focus on practical deployment aspects such as gateways,
security, provisioning and use of the new ENUM standards.
Geoff Huston, Telstra, gave a presentation on IPv4 Address Lifetime Expectancy.
The RIPE NCC would like to thank SURFnet, BIT, FLAG Telecom and KPN
EuroRings for the support they provided to the meeting.
SUMMARY
========
ADDRESS POLICY
==============
- Hans Petter Holen, Chair, requested community involvement to help revise
ripe-152 ("Charging by Local Internet Registries") if necessary.
- The RIPE NCC will resubmit the IPv4 policy document for community review.
- There was a discussion on PI/PA issues and whether the distinction is
still valid.
- It was agreed that a more formal process was needed for the policy
development process.

DATABASE
========
- Wilfried Woeber, Chair, will co-ordinate with the RIPE NCC to prepare a
document summarising the basic assumptions about the use of the RIPE Database.
- "status:" attribute values will change. Current efforts aim at
consistency between the RIRs and having easy to understand values.
- The organisation object proposal received positive feedback from the
working group, with suggestions for other features.
- The RIPE NCC will implement X.509 authentication before the next RIPE
Meeting.

TEST TRAFFIC MEASUREMENTS (TTM)
=========================
- As of 1/1/2004 changes will be made to the TTM service contract: Fees
will be lowered, all data will be made public with lightweight Acceptable
Use Policy (AUP).
- Bandwidth measurements: tests showed that results are not conclusive
enough so the TTM service will wait before delivering this new product.

ANTI-SPAM
=========
- Rodney Tillotson, Chair, will post a proposal to the Anti-Spam mailing
list regarding methods to improve finding abuse contacts in the RIPE Database.

when new allocations stop.
- Discussion on the separation of the identifier and locater functions of
IP addresses in regards to IPv6 multihoming.

TECHSEC
========
- Community feedback was requested on the requirements needed to secure
large scale IP infrastructure especially around CLI interface requirements.
- The RIPE NCC presented a report on DNSSec status, DISI achievements since
RIPE 45 and the impact of signing on zone size.
- George Jones, Mitre, gave a presentation on operational security
requirements including the history and current status of the requirements,
related work, next steps and milestones.
- Baiba Kaskina, TERENA, gave a presentation on Euro CSIRT developments
that included details on the CSIRT Task Force, the countries involved, the
projects and deliverables.

EIX
==
- Support was expressed for aligning and harmonising IPv6 address space
policy regarding IXPs with other RIRs and existing IPv4 policies.
- Reports were presented by 11 European IXPs in Europe that showed a trend
of steady growth, use of GE instead of FE and wide deployment of IPv6.
- Discussion of the Inter-Provider Traffic Analyzer that uses past data and
statistical calculations to detect anomalies in traffic patterns.
- EIX presentations were given on the anycast deployments of the "F" and
"K" root servers by ISC and the RIPE NCC.

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-46/presentations/#eix
DN*
===
- From the merging of the former DNS Working Group and DNR Forum it was
concluded that one working group is sufficient to deal with everything
related to Domain Names. A new name/charter will be discussed on the
mailing list.
- Jaap Akkerhuis, DN* Co-Chair, will organise a "DNS Related Issues" document.
- Peter Koch, DN* Co-Chair, talked about how firewall vendors could make
mistakes handling DNS communication issues.

RIPE NCC SERVICES
================
- Axel Pawlik noted that the RIPE NCC will present more details in next
year's RIPE NCC budget.
- There were comments on the current RIPE NCC services, whether they
benefit the entire community and whether a 'pay per service' system could
be an option.
- There was discussion about the need for a more transparent evaluation of
RIPE NCC activities and how they benefit the community.

Dear Colleagues,
Version 2.0 of the 'RIR Comparative Policy Overview', found at:
<http://www.ripe.net/rs/rir-comp-matrix-rev.html>
has been updated to correct an error in the information for LACNIC in
Section 2.4.1. "Assignments by RIRs (Independent/Portable)"
To be eligible for an independent/portable assignment from LACNIC,
the corrected text now reads:
"Show need for at least a /21, based on demonstrated need, according
to the criteria listed above."
the old text read:
"Need to be multihomed and show need for at least a /21. Based
on demonstrated need, according to the criteria listed above."
Please accept our apologies for any confusion or inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
--
