Abstracts of Presentations:
Title: International Management of Internet Resources
Speaker: Rob Blokzijl (RIPE)
Abstract: For the Internet to function properly, a set of resources needs
to be managed in a co-ordinated way. These resources include Internet
Protocol addresses, Autonomous System Numbers, Domain Name System
parameters, and Internet Standards. These resources have been traditionally
managed by a number of organisations. In this presentation we will
introduce these organisations and the way they are organised. It will be
demonstrated that they have all been organised along the same lines: by a
bottom up and open process of industry self-regulation.

Title: IPv4 Address Lifetime
Expectancy
Speaker: Paul Wilson (APNIC)
Abstract: In this presentation, Geoff Huston presents
the latest results of research and analysis concerning usage of the IPv4
address space within the Internet. Using the history of allocation by
the IANA to RIRs and by the RIRs to ISPs, and of address announcements
by ISPs into the global routing tables, it is possible to determine projected
dates when all available address space will be consumed. These projections
indicate a long life for remaining IPv4 address reserves, however it is
noted that no attempt is made to predict environmental or technological
changes that may alter future consumption rates.
This presentation will be made on Geoff Huston's behalf by Paul Wilson,
Director General of APNIC.

Title: K-root Nameserver Operations
Speaker: Andrei Robachevsky (RIPE
NCC)
Abstract: The RIPE NCC has operated one of the 13 DNS root servers - k.root-servers.net nameserver since 1997. To improve the regional distribution, resiliency and performance of the
root name service provided by the k.root-server, the RIPE NCC have begun an
effort to deploy mirror instances of the K-root service throughout its
service region using anycast routing.
The presentation starts with an overview of the root server system and then
describes the k.root-servers.net server in more detail. It will focus
specifically on the deployment of mirror instances of the server, its
current status and future plans.
