by JimFleming＠unety.net 15 May '98

Until we get the entire list filled in, you may have to expand the diameter of your neighbor net to include more G:S slots. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/130dftmail/unir.txt G:S TLD RP Web Site -------------------------------------------------- 3:207 FR (FRANCE) <------ 3:208 ATHENS 3:209 FLAKE 3:210 DK (DENMARK) <------- 3:211 MLT (MALTA) <----- 3:212 VIDEO 3:213 WINE <---------- jc.praud at ludexpress.com ?? web site ?? 3:214 RAILWAY 3:215 BALLOON 3:216 SVK (SLOVAKIA-(Slovak-Republic)) <----- 3:217 DNK (DENMARK) <----- 3:218 GRC (GREECE) <----- -------------------------------------------------- The following is a good source of leads for the above TLDs with the arrows. http://www.ripe.net/centr/tld.html For slots where we can not locate people, for example, 3:215 BALLOON, the people around that slot become the "managers" of the slot and help someone introduce a new TLD alias for the slot. For example, David Rogers might want to use that slot for the .LTD TLD he is working on. Via the neighbor net approach, people can easily find a slot and add a new TLD that does not conflict with other TLDs. This is very much like entering an auditorium with 2,048 seats, looking around, and asking people..."is that seat taken ?". -------- Logged at Fri May 15 12:36:46 MET DST 1998 ---------

RIPE 30 TLD-WG: apology and draft agenda
by Niall.oReilly＠ucd.ie 15 May '98

15 May '98

Dear colleagues, due to exceptional pressure of work, I am unable to travel to RIPE 30, and so cannot chair the TLD-WG session. I am happy to say that Marcel Schneider of Switch has kindly agreed to act as deputy chairman. Thanks to him, the show can go on. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide the minutes of the previous meeting. However, a summary of the meeting has been available for a long time (http://www.ripe.net/wg/tld/summary-29.html). I believe that this reflects all the significant business of the meeting. The current workplan, as amended at RIPE 29 is also to be found on the TLD-WG website (http://www.ripe.net/wg/tld/workplan.html). I think it will be helpful if the meeting secretariate can arrange to have copies of these two documents available for participants. After discussion with Marcel, I would like to suggest the following draft agenda. 1. Administrivia - appointment of scribe - agreement of agenda 2. Matters arising from previous meeting at RIPE 29 - adoption of minutes (I suggest deferral - no minutes to hand) - review of action list (only outstanding is completed) 3a. Review of workplan 4. Presentation on RIPE CENTR (Fay Howard) 5. WHOIS proposal (Marcel Schneider) 6. Other business (if any) 3b. Review of Workplan in view of developments at meeting 7. Close I wish you all a good meeting, and look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.

[apnic-talk] APNIC Director General: what is the catch?
by JimFleming＠unety.net 09 May '98

09 May '98

This is only one small example of why Internet Governance structures should take business models into consideration, as well as technical issues. In the IPv8 Plan there is no need for APNIC as an IPv4-only organization. The IPv8 address spaces are managed by the TLD authorities and the IPv4 address space is divided in a distributed way for management by the TLD authorities. APNIC might want to take the path that RIPE is taking. Namely, they are branching into the TLD arena with RIPE CENTR. This gives them the needed hooks into that area so that they have a viable business model for the future. If APNIC does that, they might be able to attract business people to properly manage the company and to provide the best service for the region. Jim Fleming On Friday, May 08, 1998 9:34 PM, Rahmat M.
