IAB/IESG Nominating Committee
by Fred Baker 05 Jan '94

05 Jan '94

As of this morning, I have 41 nominating committee volunteers and two liason contacts. Of the volunteers, the POISED document (RFC 1396) says I must draw seven names. The stochastic event will happen on Monday, January 10. If you wish to volunteer, please drop me a note with your name, business address, and business and home telephone and FAX numbers. You must have attended two IETF meetings and not want a job on the IESG or the IAB. Many have asked as to the scope of the work involved. By April at the latest (and realistically, by March) we must propose persons to replace six current IAB and six current IESG members. Many of the incumbents are interested in continuing in service, but not all. I expect that somewhere between 40 and 80 hours of effort will be asked of each nominating committee member over the next three months. ============================================================================= Is that the light at the end of the tunnel I see? Or is it an oncoming train?

RIPE DNS Hostcount December 1993
by Marten Terpstra 05 Jan '94

05 Jan '94

Hello all, First of all of course the best wishes for 1994 for all from the RIPE NCC. Below is the last hostcount for 1993. It has been run during the Xmas holidays, which might explain some domains showing a bit less than previous counts. All the domains that show lower figures have been redone, without improvement. - an overall improvement of 19,656 to bring the total to 553,357. Like I mentioned in October, it took exactly a year to double (280,000 in December 1992). The total increase over last quarter is almost 18% (or 84,000 machines). - CH is the one domain which shows a count almost 3,000 lower than the previous time, reason unknown. - DE has taken over first place from the UK again. - all output and history again in ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount - as mentioned last month, we planned to do a worldwide hostcount using our mechanism, to compare to the Mark Lottor data. We have gathered all the data we needed for this (70 Mbytes gzipped) and are currently processing all this data (which takes a while on a simple ELC ;-) A report like Mark Lottor produces should be out sometime next week. Right now, that data seems comparable to Marks data, but there are some interesting differences. Please have some patience for these results. We will also do an address usage overview for all this data.

Announcement of the Stockholm D-GIX pilot node.
by Bernhard Stockman 27 Dec '93

27 Dec '93

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SWEDISH ROUTING LABORATORY AND THE STOCKHOLM D-GIX PILOT NODE We have herewith the pleasure to announce resources will be made available from the Swedish Technical Development Board for the establishment of a routing laboratory at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. Routing in the fast growing Internet is becoming a more and more complex affair. There is an urgent need to develop new routing techniques to cope with this growth. The Network Operation Center at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, has, by being intensively active in the area of building and maintaining large international networks such as NORDUnet and EBONE, achieved a recognized high degree of competence in advanced routing techniques. A first step towards a coordinated global routing was taken with the installation of the Global Internet eXchange (GIX) in Washington DC during 1991. Since first installed, the Washington DC GIX have faced an increased participation and traffic. The number and connectivity complexity of network service providers, especially with the commercialization of Internet services, has grown rapidly beyond the capability of one single interconnection point. As a result a distribution of the GIX concept has been discussed with the ambition to secure a stable, ubiquitous and homogeneous global network infrastructure. With the distribution of the GIX concept, regional interconnection points at various levels will be established creating the need for a layered framework of interconnections points or, with another name, Internet eXchange Facilities (IXF). Pieces of the IXF technology have, however, yet to be developed. The Swedish Routing Laboratory sees as one of its main tasks to participate in and stimulate the development of the IXF technology by the installation and maintenance of routing testbeds where routing concepts can be tested under controlled connectivity conditions. As a first step towards a fully developed IXF system the distributed GIX (D-GIX) has been proposed. The Swedish Routing Laboratory will, as one of its first activities, be in charge of the set up, management and evaluation of a D-GIX pilot node in Stockholm. Starting at January 1, 1994, a pilot D-GIX installation node in Stockholm will be made available for connections from interested European network service providers. The goal is to be able to handle production quality service already during January 1994, using an initial layered IXF structure. A second pilot node is under construction in Paris and will be announced when ready for connections. For more information on the GIX and D-GIX concepts please see the reference list at the bottom of this announcement. For those interested in participating in the Stockholm D-GIX pilot node, please contact any of the authors to this announcement. It shall here be noted this is a pilot with the intention of testing out necessary technology to be used in the coming distributed GIX/IXF framework. For this reason participation in this pilot requires close collaboration with the other GIX partners to secure a stable high quality service.

European Engineering and Planning Group Annoucement
by Bernhard Stockman 27 Dec '93

27 Dec '93

Dear European Networkers, At the previous RIPE meeting it was decided to host the European Engineering and Planning Group (EEPG) as a working group within RIPE. Find below information on the EEPG terms of reference and the installed mailing list. EEPG will meet for the first time at the January RIPE meeting and an agenda will be sent out during first half of January. If you have suggestions for the agenda please fell free to propose such items to the EEPG mailing list. One item that certainly will be on the agenda is the coming D-GIX implementation. A Happy New Year to You All, Bernhard Stockman EEPG chair. ===================================================================== TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR EUROPEAN ENGINEERING AND PLANNING GROUP (EEPG) Bernhard Stockman December 27, 1993 The European Engineering and Planning Group is the platform for the engineering and deployment planning of the European part of the Internet. The Internet shall here be seen in a broader sense not just networks based on the TCP/IP protocol suite. EEPG will be active in the area of operational planning and engineering among various network service providers. EEPG will work in close liaison with the Intercontinental Enginering and Planning Group (IEPG) and bring attention to IEPG key activities as relevant within the European networking environment. EEPG can thus be seen as the European branch of the IEPG and European participation in the IEPG will be drawn from EEPG. EEPG is open for anyone but is mainly intended for operational planning and engineering among network service providers. RIPE, being the organization for coordination of European network services, is the adequate framework for the EEPG. EEPG will thus have the form of a RIPE Working Group and meet in conjunction with general RIPE meetings, currently three times a year. With the recent development and growth of the global network environment and the foreseen problems in maintaining an ubiquitous and homogeneous global network infrastructure the EEPG sees as its role to to identify and prioritize key activities of a technical nature which have a direct impact on the European and worldwide networking environment. For this reason EEPG will: - propose solutions for an optimized interconnectivity infrastrucutre among European network service providers with the ambition of securing maximal connectivity and flexibility in terms of engineering and management. With the increasing number of international network service providers, the maintenance and improvement of pan-European and global connectivity is an obvious challenge. - propose coordinated deployment of basic distributed network applications. The overall future of the global networking infrastructure is dependent on our common ability to evolve the collection of basic applications in the direction of enhanced quality and reliability of services. - propose practices and methods for efficient fault isolation and recovery as well as coordinated information dissemination in the area of network management. The focus here is to advocate the necessity of basic common operational methodologies and procedures within each network provider's operational domain to ensure that the user community can be serviced with a seamless end to end capability with appropriate mechanisms to ensure overall quality and reliability of the offered service. This area explicitly includes Network Information Center (NIC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) interaction. An EEPG work-plan will be maintained describing current areas of interest and priorities. The work-plan will from time to time be updated and documented to reflect changes of focus. ===================================================================== The EEPG mailing list The list has been created as <eepg-wg(a)ripe.net>.

IETF nominations committee
by Erik Huizer (SURFnet BV) 23 Dec '93

23 Dec '93

In March next year half of the current IAB and the current IESG positions are up for nominations. Currently there is one European in the IAB (Christian Huitema) and one in the IESG (me). I think that is too little of a European involvement, and we need to get more Europeans involved. So I plead with you all to help in achieving this, at least if you are supportive of the IETF. There are two ways you can help: 1) put your name up for the nominations committee. This committee is soon to be installed and will be drawn at random from those who volunteer. The committee will propose the candidates for the IAB and IESG. It is very important in my view that we get enough European names in "the hat" before they start to draw this committee. For more details see the message below. 2) put your name up for nomination into the IESG or IAB. We need good people there. I realise that this is not a simple request, but if you even think you might be interested and want more info on such a "job" (no payment involved :-), don't hesitate to contact me. Prettige Kerstdagen en een gelukkig 1994, Erik ------- Forwarded Message Date: Wed, 22 Dec 93 20:11:13 -0500 From: "Vinton G. Cerf" <vcerf(a)CNRI.Reston.VA.US> To: ietf(a)CNRI.Reston.VA.US, internauts:;, isoc-interest(a)relay.sgi.com Subject: IAB/IESG Nominations Committee Chairman Appointed Dear Internauts and Internet Community members, I am pleased to announce that Fred Baker of ACC, Inc., has accepted the responsibility to chair the 1994 IAB/IESG nominations committee. This is, as always, an ambitious undertaking and now it is your responsibility to accept your own professional responsibilities to assist in any way you can. 1. Persons who have attended at least 2 IETF meetings in the last 5 years are eligible to volunteer to serve on the nominations committee. Volunteers should send email to: fbaker(a)acc.com with appropriate contact information (email address, work telephone, work fax, home telephone, home fax, postal address for any correspondence). The list of volunteers will be verified as to qualification using the IETF secretariat attendance records at CNRI. A nominations committee will be formed from a randomly selected subset of the qualified volunteers. 2. Paul Mockapetris and Jeff Case are acting as advisors (to serve as "corporate memory" of the 1993 committee). It is vital to identify qualified committee candidates from all constituents of the Internet community, especially those from outside the US since this segment is not always adequately represented. A list of IESG positions to be filled and IAB positions to be reconsidered will be published shortly. Please give serious consideration to possible candidates to fill these posts and make these suggestions known to Fred, who will share them with the committee. I wish each of you a most joyous holiday season and prosperous new year! Cordially, Vint Cerf President Internet Society ------- End of Forwarded Message
