Maintenance on the RIPE Meeting website server
by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 05 May '14

05 May '14

Dear colleagues, Due to a technical problem we need to perform emergency maintenance work on the server hosting the RIPE Meeting websites and presentation archives. This will affect all the RIPE Meeting website pages (such as ripe68.ripe.net) for the duration of the work. This will *not* affect the main RIPE NCC website (www.ripe.net) as well as RIPE Labs, the LIR Portal and any other RIPE NCC service. The work is planned from 17:00 (UTC+2) and will take an estimated 30 minutes. We apologise in advance for the inconvenience. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

ARIN Reaches Final /8
by Andrew de la Haye 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, Yesterday, ARIN announced that they reached their final /8 of IPv4 address space and have moved to Phase Four of their IPv4 Countdown Plan. You can find more information on this here: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html With LACNIC also reaching their final /8 earlier in March, four of the five RIRs have now reached this historic milestone. This highlights more than ever the need to move towards full IPv6 deployment. Many big players have already shown their commitment to deploying IPv6, and countless other organisations are also taking these necessary steps. It is encouraging to see that the amount of IPv6 traffic to Google, for example, has more than doubled over the previous year. When we look at the RIPE NCC's own statistics, more than 68% of our members now have an IPv6 allocation: https://labs.ripe.net/statistics/lirs-with-and-without-ipv6 And over 20% of all networks in our service region are currently announcing IPv6 prefixes: http://v6asns.ripe.net/v/6?s=_ALL;s=_RIR_RIPE_NCC The RIPE NCC is committed to IPv6 adoption and encourages all organisations to become IPv6 enabled. To find more information, advice from experts and where to get training, please see: www.IPv6actnow.org Kind regards Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

Update on the IANA Transition Process
by Paul Rendek 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, As noted in earlier discussions, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, has announced that it intends to transfer key Internet domain functions (the IANA functions) to the global multi-stakeholder community. An open process to develop a model for future IANA administration is now underway. The RIPE NCC has published a section on its website that provides background information on the IANA functions, the role of oversight of IANA and the RIPE NCC’s relationship to IANA. The pages also detail the process for development of the future IANA model, and the opportunities for the RIPE community and RIPE NCC membership to contribute: http://ripe.net/iana-transition The RIPE NCC would like to highlight several key points to help stimulate community discussion in this area: - The IANA function covers three separate areas: Internet resources, domain names and protocol assignments on behalf of the IETF. The primary concern for the RIPE NCC is ensuring the continued fair, efficient and stable management of Internet number resources in any future model or arrangement. - The RIPE NCC and the other RIRs actually have relatively few interactions with IANA. We receive allocations of Internet number resources according to global policies developed using the same bottom-up processes as in our regional communities. To date, the U.S. Government’s oversight of IANA has never been exercised to affect IANA operations or policy development relating to Internet number resources. - The RIPE community and the RIPE NCC work together using a well-established model of bottom-up, open and inclusive processes. These attributes, which underpin all RIPE NCC and RIPE community activities, are essential elements of a "multi-stakeholder" model, specified by the NTIA as a requirement for any proposal to move forward. - The RIRs have developed their own robust structures to allow for cooperation and coordination on a global level, most notably through the Number Resource Organization (NRO), which represents all five RIRs working cooperatively. The NRO Number Council, which is comprised of members from the five RIR communities (and which also plays the role of the ICANN Address Supporting Organization Address Council), currently provides oversight of the global policy development process as it pertains to Internet number resources. It is important that the RIPE NCC membership and the RIPE community's voices are heard in these discussions, as key stakeholders in how the global pool of Internet number resources is managed. Following discussion with the co-chairs of the RIPE Cooperation Working Group, we suggest that RIPE community discussion be focused in this working group, both on the mailing list and in RIPE Meeting sessions. This arrangement will allow anyone with an interest to participate or follow discussions, without the need to attend events in person. You can subscribe to the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/wg-lists/cooperation At RIPE 68 in Warsaw, there will be a discussion on the future of the IANA functions in the Cooperation Working Group session on 15 May (remote participation will be available): https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/ There will be opportunities to consider these issues in all RIPE-related venues, including ENOG, MENOG and other regional meetings. The RIPE NCC will also use its Roundtable Meetings to engage with governments and regulators on this topic. Finally, there are channels for global discussion, including the ICANN-hosted mailing list <ianatransition(a)icann.org>: https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/ianatransition The RIPE NCC will actively participate in the global development process that is being convened by ICANN. The RIPE NCC will be informed and directed by our community and membership on the best way forward with this transition. Kind regards, Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC

SEE 3 RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Report
by Serge Radovcic 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, The third South East Europe (SEE 3) RIPE NCC Regional Meeting took place from 14-15 April in Sofia, Bulgaria. The event had an excellent attendance of 229 people, including 135 from Bulgaria. It was also encouraging to see that many attendees from last year's SEE 2 Meeting in Macedonia returned to attend the SEE 3 Meeting. The community in south east Europe has proved to be extremely vibrant and eager to engage with the wider Internet industry. The excellent presentations and lively discussions at SEE 3 were further evidence of this. We would like to thank all who helped to make this such a successful event, particularly meeting co-hosts BIX.BG. RIPE NCC regional meetings are a fantastic way for the organisation to engage with our members and the community, and for those regional communities to let us know what we can do to help them. A full meeting report is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/regional-meetings/see-3/meeting-report Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
