OPS-NM Interim meeting (Oct 1-2) at RIPE-40 in Prague
by Wijnen, Bert (Bert) 17 Sep '01

17 Sep '01

All, I have only a short list of "registered" participants right now. I do not see enough IETF OPS-NM folk, and I do not see enough European (or better non-USA) operators. I understand and respect that the events of last week may have made you wait to register. However, if we do not get a longer list of participants, then one should wonder if it makes sense to have this meeting at all. If it is caused by last weeks events, then we can consider to move it out to the next RIPE meeting which I believe is in January in Amsterdam. But I wonder if this is really the reason, specifically for the European operators, and after all, we want to speak with these European operators. I think we all seriously hope that things will calm down over the next 2 weeks, and that in October we can more or less assume we can travel again. If that turns out to be false hope, we can cancel the meeting at the last minute. But assuming everything gets better from now on, pls let me know if you plan to attend (see below). To do so,please send me (bwijnen(a)lucent.com) a short email to let us know. Pls add a few lines as to why you want to participate. Bert details about the meeting times, venue, agenda, see below -----Original Message----- From: Wijnen, Bert (Bert) [mailto:bwijnen@lucent.com] Sent: maandag 3 september 2001 20:31 To: ops-area(a)ops.ietf.org Subject: OPS-NM Interim meeting (Oct 1-2) All, At the last two IETF OPS Area Open meetings, we had some good discussion between the OPS NM folk and some operators. We also have had a so called OPS-NM Interim in the USA that was co-located with NANOG in May of this year. We also called it something like: Net Management Protocol Folk & Net Operators - Reality Check #2 We will have another IETF Interim Meeting for the OPS-AREA Network Management people, this time in Europe, co-located with the next RIPE-NCC meeting. The idea is to meet with another set of operators to try and understand their needs and to explain to them how we think that our NM related work in the IETF can help them to manage their networks. In other words: Net Management Protocol Folk & Net Operators - Reality Check #3 We probably will have similar sessions in the future to meet with people who operate enterprise networks, because their requirements may be different. We are still working on the agenda, however below you will find a prelimenary agenda proposal. Any suggestions should be sent to Randy (randy(a)psg.com) and Bert (bwijnen(a)lucent.com) We have limited space for this meeting. Those who plan to attend, pls send a short email to Bert Wijnen <bwijnen(a)lucent.com> to let us know. Pls add a few lines as to why you want to participate. Bert and Randy -------------- OPS-NM Interim Meeting details ------------------ The plan is to have this meeting co-located with the next RIPE NCC meeting, namely RIPE 40. That means: Oct 1st OPS-NM Interim from 2-5pm Oct 2nd OPS-NM Interim from 9am-noon Oct 2-5 RIPE 40. Starts at 1:30pm on oct 2nd. RIPE 40 and OPS-NM Interim will be in the Prague Congress Centre in Prague, Czech Republic. For RIPE 40 and hotel registration, pls visit: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/current/ripe-40/ There is a whole range of hotels to choose from, but it is very hard to book, so do it now. Those only participating in the OPS-NM meeting are not required to pay the RIPE meeting fee. Of course, if you want to take the opportunity to participate in the RIPE-NCC meeting, then you should register for that meeting via the web page listed above. Those who plan to attend the OPS-NM Interim should send an email to Bert Wijnen <bwijnen(a)lucent.com> because we only have limited room, and if too many people want to show up we may have to tell some that there is no more space. Prelimenary Agenda ------------------ - Agenda bashing and intro - Summary of the current set of OPS requirements draft-ops-operator-req-mgmt-00.txt Please read this document to prepare for the meeting. If this one no longer exists, then pls check for a possible revision 01.txt. It is important to try and figure out if this also represents needs of European operators, or do they have different/new/additional requirements? - Discussion of the above. - Discussion of SNMP, MIBs, COPS, POLICY and such - how do the developers of these protocols/specs think that they can address operator NM requirments. - what do operators think about that - what kind of positive or negative expoerience do operators have - Operator requirements - what are the real hot issues to be solved this year - what are the constraints within which the tools have to work - Next steps - Wrapup/Summary -30-

Reminder: Removal of selected sets of contact information from the RIPE Database
by Joao Luis Silva Damas 13 Sep '01

13 Sep '01

Dear all, (apologies for duplicates) This message is a reminder of the ongoing process of removal of unreferenced contact information from the RIPE Database. We have updated the web page http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/orphaned.html with a more up to date list of maintainer objects relevant to this process. I would like to use the opportunity to clarify an apparently confusing aspect of previous notes: If your person/role object already has a mnt-by attribute that references a maintainer object not contained in the list provided in the above mentioned web page, there is no need to add a reference to RIPE-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT. This maintainer has been created by the RIPE NCC with the sole purpose of facilitating a mechanism for people without maintainer objects to tag their person/role objects to avoid deletion. If you already have a proper maintainer object, DO NOT include RIPE-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT as this would lower your protection level. Best regards, Joao Damas RIPE NCC

Call for Nominations for Representatives to the ASO Address Council - RIPE region
by Hans Petter Holen 23 Aug '01

23 Aug '01

Dear colleagues, This is a call for nominations of individuals from the RIPE region to serve on the ASO Address Council. During October 2001, one RIPE region Address Council seat will become vacant and will be filled for the next three years by an individual nominated through this open call. This document describes the functions of the ASO and the Address Council, as well as the nomination and selection processes. If you are interested in nominating an individual, or if you are interested in being nominated as a member of the Address Council, please read this document carefully. 1. The Address Supporting Organisation - -------------------------------------- The ASO was formed in August 1999 as a consensus-based advisory body within the ICANN Framework, though a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the current Regional Internet Registries and ICANN. The ICANN Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI-A) assign to the ASO the responsibility for the development of global policies relating to the distribution and registration of Internet address space, inter-domain routing identifiers and that part of the DNS name space that is used to name these addresses and identifiers. More information about the ASO is available at: http://www.aso.icann.org 2. The Address Council - ---------------------- The ASO Address Council co-ordinates the process of policy development in areas within the responsibility of the ASO, according to procedures defined within the MoU and by the AC itself. Specifically, these include the hosting of an annual open General Assembly meeting, and attending regular meetings by teleconference or in person at which policy issues and submissions may be considered. The other major responsibility of the Address Council is the appointment of individuals to fill ASO seats on the ICANN Board of Directors, according to procedures defined within the MoU. More information on the Address Council is available at: http://www.aso.icann.org/ac 3. The Role of Members of the Address Council - --------------------------------------------- Members of the Address Council do not represent any RIR, nor do they act as representatives of any other body. They are appointed in their individual capacity, and their membership cannot be proxied by any other individual or organisation. No member of the Address Council is entitled to any compensation from the ASO. No member can be indemnified by the ASO, nor can the ASO obtain insurance coverage relating to the liability of the actions of members of the Address Council. 4. Address Council Nominations Process - -------------------------------------- Through this nomination process, one individual from the RIPE region will be selected to serve on the Address Council for three years, replacing Hans Petter Holen who has served as an initial AC member for the past 2 years. The selection will be made though an open election from the set of individuals who have been nominated within this process. Any individual may be nominated, with the exception of any staff member of any Regional Internet Registry. Self-nominations are permitted. Nominations should be sent by email to <nominations(a)ripe.net>, by midnight UTC on 5 September 2001. The information included with the nomination is to be in English and should include: Name of Nominee: Country of residence: Organisation: Email Address: Postal Address: Biographical information: Motivation for nomination: Name of nominating individual: Organisation: Email Address: All nominees will be contacted via email to confirm their willingness to serve on the Address Council. If a nominee is not contactable via email, or does not respond, then their nomination will not be confirmed and they will not be eligible for election to the Address Council. All confirmed nominations will be listed on the RIPE web site after they are confirmed. All nominees will have the opportunity to submit a written statement in support of their nomination, for publication on the web site. In addition, others may express support for nominated individuals simply by completing and submitting the nomination form provided above. 5. Address Council Selection Process - ------------------------------------ The process for selection of the nominee to serve on the Address Council will involve an open election to be held during the plenary session of the RIPE 40 Meeting, in Prague, Czech Republic, on 5 October 2001. See the following URL for details about the selection procedure: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/adress_council-election.html More information about RIPE 40 will be available shortly at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/current/ripe-40/ Important Dates: 5 September 2001 - deadline for Address Council nominations Regards, Hans Petter Holen Local IR WG chair

Re: Removal of selected sets of contact information from the RIPE Database
by Joao Luis Silva Damas 21 Aug '01

21 Aug '01

Dear Hank, I can think of a couple of reasons for requesting this but bear in mind: -We are talking about the deletion of around 2.8 million objects -The only potential link between a person and a country is the address field, which does not necessarily contain a country - Exposing such a list would make a spammers dream. We have tried to protect personal information in the RIPE Database by preventing buld download of personal information and controlling the rate of queries. If we now expose a list of all this information we will doing precisely what we want to avoid Could you put forward some arguments for having this data exposed so we can all weight pros and cons?
