NSAP address registration/authorization

[Victor Reijs <Victor.Reijs@localhost]

Hello all of you,

Because we now have the RIPE database, I am investigating how we could
registrate the addressing including defining the authorities. I hope to
do thing together with the NNI (the NSO of the Netherlands).

What do I have in mind (and please provide you remarks on this!):

- I define 'domain' in this case as: part of the NSAP address starting
at the beginning of the NSAP address and ending at some hierarchical
point in the NSAP address structure.

- - try to stimulate ISO, to put in the top level 'domains' in the RIPE
database. They are the 'domain' authority of e.g. 38, 38, 47, etc. So
dom-prefix, dom-name, descr, admin-c, source, remark, changed and
guardian are under authority of ISO. No routing info is allowed.

- try to stimulate ISO to put in the 'domains' that are part of the
authority of ISO, e.g. 38 xxx (where XXX is DCC). So every country
(like Holland) gets an entry in the RIPE database.  So dom-prefix,
dom-name, descr, admin-c, source, remark, changed, guardian are under
authority of ISO. tech-c could be under authority of NSO.  No routing
info is allowed.

- try to stimulate BSI to put in 'domain' 47 xxx (where xxx= ICD). So
every international organization (like NORDUNET) gets an RIPE database
entry.  So dom-prefix, dom-name, descr, admin-c, source, remark,
changed and guardian are under authority of BSI. tech-c could be under
authority of intern. organization. No routing info is allowed. 

- - try to stimulate the NSO (in case of DCC, like NNI, AFNOR) to input
their 'domains'. So every national organization (like SURFnet bv) gets
an entry in the database.  So dom-prefix, dom-name, descr, admin-c,
source, remark, changed and guardian are under authority of NSO. 
Routing information will be given under authority of the national
organization.  tech-c could be under authority of national
organization.  

- - the national organization (like SURFnet bv) inputs its 'domains' in
the RIPE database. So every institute/etc. (like SARA) gets an entry. 
So dom-prefix, dom-name, descr, admin-c, source, remark, changed and
guardian are under authority of nat. organization. tech-c could be
under authority of institute.  Routing information (if different from
the nat.organization) can inputed by insitute, only with the consent
of the nat. organization.  So NO change may be made to this information
without agreement with national organization.

Remark: I interpretated 'guardian' as a person that gets information
when something is changed.

I think no more leveling is needed. If so let me know. Is the above
scene workable?


All the best,


Victor
