[ncc-announce] 2007-01 Policy Implementation - Phase Two Deadline Extended

[Apologies for duplicate emails]


Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC has once more extended the deadline for Phase Two of the
2007-01 policy implementation ("Contractual Requirements for Provider
Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region"). This
decision is based upon feedback and input received from the RIPE
community during RIPE 60 regarding the implementation of Phase Three
of policy proposal 2007-01.

In Phase Three the RIPE NCC will contact all holders of independent
Internet resources who, at the end of Phase Two, have not signed an 
agreement with either a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC regarding the 
registration of the resources assigned to them. The RIPE NCC will
draft a procedural document for Phase Three and make it available for
review on the NCC Services Working Group Mailing List in the near
future.

The deadline extension will also allow LIRs some more time to provide
the necessary documentation for any independent Internet resources
that they marked as "My End User" during the first step of Phase Two
of the policy implementation. It is hoped that this will reduce the
number of resource holders to be contacted in Phase Three of the
policy implementation. The start of Phase Three is scheduled to begin
after the RIPE 61 Meeting in November 2010.

The RIPE NCC will update the community regarding definite timelines
for the end of Phase Two, the start of Phase Three and other topics
related to the policy implementation on the NCC Services Working Group
Mailing List.

If you have any comments or questions, please contact

Kind regards,
