The Executive Board is extending the voting period for this GM to make it as convenient as possible for RIPE NCC members in the entire RIPE NCC service region to cast their votes.

From alexb at ripe.net Thu Oct 13 09:14:08 2011 From: alexb at ripe.net (Alex Band) Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:14:08 +0200 Subject: [ncc-announce] Resource Certification/RPKI Workshop at RIPE 63 Message-ID: RIPE 63 attendees interested in Resource Certification/RPKI are encouraged to take part in a workshop on Monday, 31 October from 9:30-12:30 in the Park Congress 2+3 rooms. ===================== What you'll learn ===================== The workshop will focus on BGP Origin Validation, based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). You will learn how RPKI enables network operators to make more reliable routing decisions and how it protects against accidental mis-origination, the most common routing error we see today. Using various open-source tools from rpki.net and the RIPE NCC, you will be able to set up a resource certificate and create Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) objects, stating which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the prefixes you hold. After publishing your ROAs, you can validate them and configure routers to set routing preferences based on the RPKI status of your prefixes. This workshop will be a collaboration between Rob Austein, Randy Bush, Michael Elkins, Benno Overeinder (NLNet Labs), Jac Kloots (SURFnet), Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and the RIPE NCC. ========================= Participation Details ========================= You do not need to register for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for using the rpki.net tools. In order to generate a certificate and configure ROAs on the RIPE NCC pilot server, you'll need to have an LIR Portal user account with access to the certification system or know the administrator credentials for your LIR Portal account. More information: http://ripe.net/certification/enable.html If you don't have an LIR Portal account or the necessary administrator credentials, you can still participate. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are exchanging the allocations that were already issued and for now we will (temporarily) stop using this specific /16. The RIPE NCC is working on this matter. For now, we urge everyone to change the default behaviour of their Juniper routers: set routing-options martians 128.0.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 191.255.0.0/16 orlonger allow set routing-options martians 223.255.255.0/24 exact allow Best regards, Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC From mgrigore at ripe.net Thu Oct 13 11:10:56 2011 From: mgrigore at ripe.net (Mihnea-Costin Grigore) Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:10:56 +0200 Subject: [ncc-announce] Automatic messages on the ncc-announce mailing list Message-ID: <4E96AB20.30507@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, We would like to apologise for the automatic messages that were sent to this list today.
