RIPE NCC Receives Allocation from IANA's Recovered IPv4 Pool
by Andrew de la Haye 21 May '14

21 May '14

Dear colleagues, Yesterday, on 20 May 2014, the RIPE NCC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were allocated what will likely be one of the last significant blocks of IPv4 addresses we receive from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Each RIR received the equivalent of a /11 of IPv4 address space. The RIPE NCC was allocated the IPv4 address range 45.128.0.0/11 and we are currently adding this to our available pool. Following the exhaustion of IANA's free pool of IPv4 addresses in 2011, when the RIRs received their final /8s, a global policy caused IANA to create a recovered pool of leftover and returned IPv4 address blocks. This policy was ratified by all five RIR communities in 2012 and stated that IANA would begin making equal, periodic allocations from the recovered pool when the first RIR reached a /9 of remaining addresses. This point was reached by LACNIC, the RIR for Latin America and the Caribbean yesterday, which triggered the global policy and thus the first post-exhaustion allocation from IANA. You can read the global policy here: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-… Now that the policy is active, the RIPE NCC will receive one-fifth of any recovered addresses in the pool every six months (every March and September). The RIPE NCC will continue to distribute these according to the current last /8 policy, under which LIRs may receive a one-time /22 allocation (1,024 addresses). With yet another RIR reaching IPv4 exhaustion, it is important that network operators continue to deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the future growth of the Internet. More information on IPv6 deployment can be found here: www.ipv6actnow.com Kind regards Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

RIPE Atlas use cases and more
by Vesna Manojlovic 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear colleagues, There have been a lot of great examples recently of how RIPE Atlas can be used to investigate network events, troubleshoot problems, explore how the Internet behaves, and more. Some of the topics include: - Investigating customer complaints about slow servers - Comparing TCP and UDP Response Times of DNS Root Servers - Discovering Path MTU black holes on the Internet We’ve collected all of these user experiences, analyses, papers and presentations in one place on RIPE Labs, in order to make it easy to discover how others are making use of the RIPE Atlas network - and maybe spark some ideas about how you can, too. https://labs.ripe.net/atlas/user-experiences If you have your own story about how you’ve used RIPE Atlas, we want to hear from you! Please get in touch with us at atlas(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Vesna Manojlovic Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC

I* Post NETmundial Meeting Statement
by Antony Gollan 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear colleagues, Leaders of the organisations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure (loosely referred to as “I* leaders”) met on 25 April in São Paulo, Brazil following the NETmundial meeting. During the 1-day I* leaders meeting, the group considered a range of issues where dialogue among Internet technical organisations is useful. In particular, the group highlighted that the NETmundial meeting has energised the multistakeholder discussions and model in a positive fashion. The leaders highlighted the importance of open, collaborative, bottom-up processes across meetings and organisations dealing with the Internet. During the meeting, the group reflected on a number of other topics as well: I. Transition of NTIA’s Stewardship of the IANA Functions and review of ICANN accountability processes. http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition II. The announcement made by ICANN CEO of the launch of a process to review and improve ICANN’s own oversight/accountability mechanism and how it is complementary to the IANA function’s stewardship evolution process. III. Upcoming Internet Governance meetings including the Internet Governance Forum and the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference. http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/2014-itu-plenipotentiary-conference-back… IV. Coordination of experiences, plans and resources to further deploy DNSSEC via the ccTLD community. V. Identification of issues and players to further enable adoption of Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) toward accelerating their adoption in communities that don’t use the Latin Character sets. The group bade farewell to Raúl Echeberría, CEO of LACNIC and Leslie Daigle, Chief Internet Technology Officer of the Internet Society. Participating Leaders • Adiel A. Akplogan, CEO African Network Information Center (AFRINIC) • Barrack Otieno, Manager, The African Top Level Domains Organization (AFTLD) • Paul Wilson, Director General Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) • Don Hollander, General Manager Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association (APTLD) • John Curran, CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) • Peter Van Roste, General Manager, Council for European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) • Russ Housley, Chair Internet Architecture Board (IAB) • Fadi Chehadé, President and CEO Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) • Jari Arkko, Chair Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • Kathy Brown, President and CEO Internet Society (ISOC) • Raúl Echeberría, CEO Latin America and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) • Carolina Aguerre, General Manager, Latin American and Caribbean TLD Association (LACTLD) • Axel Pawlik, Managing Director Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) • Tim Berners-Lee, Director, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Updates to RIPE-500: Policy Development in RIPE
by Hans Petter Holen 11 May '14

11 May '14

Dear colleagues, The Working-group chairs have for some time been discussing how to improve the Policy Development Process as described in RIPE-500. A small task force with Brian Nisbet as the coordinator and Ondrej Filip, Nick Hilliard and Hans Petter Holen as members has worked out the final details in the text. The wg-chairs have reached consensus on the attached proposal. The main change in the PDP is to allow the Working-group Chairs of the working-group developing the policy to declare consensus. This allows for a more timely conclusion of the PDP, but also allows for the Working-group chairs collectively to act as an appeals body. I am circulating the new text now for community review and the intent is to put this in place at the coming RIPE meeting. Yours Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen RIPE Deputy Chair
