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

21 Aug '01

Dear all, (apologies for duplicates) As you know, the subject of storage of person and role objects in the RIPE Database has been the focus of attention for some time, particularly information being stored in the Database that is not directly related to RIPE NCC activities and/or some of the people whose information is stored in the RIPE Database are not aware of the fact. During the RIPE 39 meeting in Bologna, I reported on increasing concerns about data privacy issues and potential legal implications the RIPE NCC could be involved in due to some of this data. Call it a coincidence,but we have been approached by the Dutch Data Protection Agency a few weeks ago to discuss this matter. The agency's action is taken on behalf of other similar global agencies who have requested their Dutch counterparts to act as the RIPE NCC is based in the Netherlands. As a result of the discussions, the authorities have requested the RIPE NCC to remove all unreferenced data currently stored in the Database. This affects mainly person objects related to domain name registration information stored in the RIPE Database. In order to minimise annoyances to users and the membership we would like to proceed with the process in a timely manner. In order to prevent undue deletions we propose the following process: 1. The following unreferenced person objects will be deleted: - objects referenced only from *.de domains, according to the list provided by DENIC (or list of mntners that define that set); - objects that are un-maintained. 2. Those who want to protect their objects in the database should tag them with a special mntner (RIPE-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT). This procedure is solely meant for personal use by individuals interested in keeping their personal data in the RIPE Database. However, this is subject to change in the future. 3. All of the object deletions will be performed in one step. There will be an outage in updates for ~1 day. We plan to start the process Friday, 21 September 2001 in the evening and finish by the end of Saturday. More concrete details will be provided in the coming weeks. Best regards, Joao Damas RIPE NCC

The RIPE NCC will be organising a DNSSEC course The course will be held in Prague on the Monday after the RIPE Meeting, October 8: 9 am to 5 pm.

To be able to run the program in a day we expect the participants + being able to administer DNS zone files with bind; + to bring their own dummy zone to experiment with; + to bring a laptop running the latest version of bind; + being able to patch bind software if needed; About a week before the course, you will receive a homework assignment. This will take about an hour to complete and has to be done in advance, so that during the course little time will be wasted on configuration issues. The course will consists of two parts: an introduction to DNSSEC and a hands-on part. The hands-on part will cover: + securing zone transfers using TSIG + generating zone keys and signing zones + securing 'corporate' sites with DNSSEC + establishing a chain of trust + key-exchange and rollover The RIPE NCC does not charge for this course but the amount of participants will be limited to 25 persons. If the interest in the course exceeds the number of available places a selection will be made based on first come first serve basis and by limiting the amount of participants from one affiliation.

RIPE Region Hostcount for June 2001
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Dear All, below is the hostcount for June 2001. The table shows an increase since last month of over 940,000 (or 6,6%) to a total of over 15,200,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The nl domain shows the highest increase for June with approximately 696,000 hosts more than in May. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - A number of domains that have been excluded for a while because AXFR's were not possible, have been counted again: bf, bj, cf, dj, dz, gm, gq, im, ne, so and td - Due to another filesystem problem, a small percentage of the following domains didn't get counted: gr, hr, il, kg, ro, se and uk - After a rather long time, we managed to get new data for uk, although not complete due to the point mentioned above. Nevertheless the new count of uk has caused a big increase in the global number of hosts counted. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es pac0san(a)nic.es fr Annie Renard hr Ivan Maric ie Mike Norris is Marius Olafsson it Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi li Marcel Schneider lt Daiva Tamulioniene lu Alain Frieden mk Goran Muratovski mt Robert Sultana no Havard Eidnes pl Mirek Luc pt Joao Pagaime ro Eugenie Staicut ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov sk Lubos Elias sm Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi tr METU Hostcount Admin If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Good News..

Dear all, [apologies for duplicate mails] During the INET conference, that took place last week in Stockholm, Brian Carpenter presented this year's Jonathan Postel Award to Daniel Karrenberg. To quote from the Internet Society's website: >The Jonathan B. Postel Service Award was established by the Internet >Society to honor a person who has made outstanding contributions in >service to the data communications community. It is named for Dr. Jonathan >B. Postel to recognize and commemorate the extraordinary stewardship >exercised by Jon over the course of a thirty year career in networking. Daniel, whom many of you know as one of the founding members of RIPE, and who conceived the concept of the RIPE NCC, and served as its General Manager from 1992 to 1999, was commended for his nearly 20 year long involvement with networking and the Internet in Europe, and for his continuously selfless contributions to the Internet community. It is with special delight that we congratulate Daniel today, and wish him equal success during the coming decades! And, of course, all of us at the RIPE NCC are very happy that Daniel is still "one of us"... kind regards, Axel Pawlik

Dear All, below is the hostcount for April 2001. The table shows an increase since last month of over 180,000 (or 1.3%) to a total of almost 13,860,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The ru domain shows the highest increase for April with approximately 100,000 hosts more than in March. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - Unfortunately lots of problems this month... - the January, 2000 data had to be reused for uk due to serious interruptions to the collection process - the March, 2001 data had to be reused for eg, es and ro due to fresh data not being available. - the March, 2001 data had to be reused for ci, ma, il, it, tr and fr due to various problems with the data collection. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es ES NIC fr Annie Renard gr Dimitris Zisiadis hr Ivan Maric ie Mike Norris il Netvision NOC is Marius Olafsson it Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi li Marcel Schneider lt Daiva Tamulioniene lu Alain Frieden mk Goran Muratovski mt Robert Sultana no Havard Eidnes pl Mirek Luc pt Joao Pagaime ro Eugenie Staicut ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov sk Lubos Elias sm Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi tr METU Hostcount Admin uk Robert Stone Kevin Hoadley If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
