All of the user experiences and feedback we received from you since the initial launch have helped shape this new interface. While the previous interface focused on helping new users get started with the system, the new interface incorporates functionality to help existing users solve problems using sensible defaults and best practices. We also managed to simplify the interface even further, reducing it from three pages to one in a fresh new look. You can watch a quick tour of the new interface here: http://youtu.be/gLwHp12wOGw I would like to stress that this release is not the conclusion of our work to improve the RPKI interface. We made a conscious decision to not implement every possible feature but to use this as a foundation to expand the functionality based on your needs and input. For example, a requested feature we would like to incorporate is the ability for users to keep their RIPE Database ROUTE objects synchronised with their ROAs, thereby providing a single location for easy routing management and monitoring. We are eager to hear your feedback on the new interface. User input is vital as we continue to simplify resource management and improve the experience for LIR Portal users. If you have comments or suggestions for improved features, please let me know by responding to this mail or by voicing your opinion on the Routing Working Group mailing list .

A final call for community feedback has been issued, with the CRISP team planning to submit the finalised proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) on Thursday, 15 January. The second draft of the proposal is available at: http://www.nro.net/crisp-proposal-second-draft There is also a ?redline version? that shows all changes made since the first draft: http:/www.nro.net/crisp-proposal-second-draft-change-control The deadline for providing feedback is Monday, 12 January 2015. The CRISP team strongly encourages community members in favour of this proposal to express their support, either via the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list or via the ianaxfer at nro.net mailing list, as demonstrated community support may be important later in the IANA stewardship transition process. Some of the key points to note in this second draft: - Additional description on contract details, review committee and intellectual property rights - Description revised on Section V. NITA Requirements and Section VI. Community Process for more clarity - No changes to key elements of the proposal The CRISP team timeline for the coming weeks is as follows: Second draft to be published: 8 Jan 2015 Second draft comments close: 12 Jan 2015 Final proposal to be sent to ICG: 15 Jan 2015 More background on the IANA stewardship transition process is available at: https://www.ripe.net/iana-oversight-transition Details on the CRISP team, including members, timelines and working methods, are available at: https://nro.net/crisp-team Best regards, Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC From noreply at ripe.net Wed Jan 14 15:57:57 2015 From: noreply at ripe.net (Menno Schepers) Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:57:57 +0100 Subject: [ncc-announce] Network Maintenance: 17/01/2015 11:00-12:00 (UTC) Message-ID: Dear colleagues, On Saturday, 17 December 2015 between 11:00 and 12:00 (UTC), the RIPE NCC will carry out maintenance work on its core network infrastructure.

The proposal is available on the NRO website: https://www.nro.net/news/final-proposal-crisp This submission represents the culmination of discussions in each of the five Regional Internet Registry (RIR) communities, and around six weeks of intense work on the part of the CRISP team (made up of three representatives from each regional community) to consolidate the output from those discussions. This process involved publishing two earlier drafts and incorporating feedback received from the community to produce a final proposal that represents a consensus position of the global Internet numbers community. The key elements of the proposal are: - That the RIRs will establish a binding Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the IANA functions operator concerning provision of IANA services relating to the Internet number registries. - That ICANN will continue in its current role as IANA functions operator to ensure stability and continuity of IANA services, but with mechanisms in place for the Internet number community to change operator, should the need arise. - That a community-based Review Committee will be established to advise the RIRs on the performance of the IANA functions operator. - That all involved parties affirm that all relevant intellectual property rights (including trademarks, domain names and other rights) reside either in the public domain or, where appropriate, with the RIRs or another agreed entity. Over the coming months, the ICG will work to consolidate proposals received from the three affected communities (numbers, names and protocol parameters), with the goal of producing a single proposal on IANA stewardship for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) by the June 2015. Feedback from the global community will be an important element of this process, and regular updates will be posted to the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list.

Opinion can be stated until 13 February 2015 Proposal Overviews: PROPOSAL: 2014-03, ?Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments? OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when requesting an Autonomous System (AS) Number. It is proposed to remove the need evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per organization to 1,000 and require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End User that decides if the need for the AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group ? address-policy-wg at ripe.net DEADLINE: 22 January 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 PROPOSAL: 2014-05, ?Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources? OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of Internet resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region from RIRs that require needs-based policies, recipients must provide the RIPE NCC with a plan for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within five years. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the RIRs ARIN (North America) and APNIC (Asia-Pacific) confirmed that the proposed text is compatible with their transfer policies. Currently, the proposed inter-RIR transfer policy would apply to IPv4 PA allocations, IPv4 PI assignments and legacy resources. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group ? address-policy-wg at ripe.net DEADLINE: 9 February FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05 PROPOSAL: 2014-12, ?Allow IPv6 Transfers? OVERVIEW: The goal of this new proposal is to allow the transfer of IPv6 address space within the RIPE NCC service region. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the proposal would allow the transfer of IPv6 allocations and IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments (or parts of them) from the rightfully registered resource holder to a new resource holder. STATUS:Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group ? address-policy-wg at ripe.net DEADLINE: 21 January FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-12 PROPOSAL: 2014-13, ?Allow AS Number Transfers? OVERVIEW: The goal of this new proposal is to allow the transfer of AS Numbers within the RIPE NCC service region. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that the proposal would allow the transfer of AS Numbers from the rightfully registered resource holder to a new resource holder.

Rough consensus was declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a final opportunity to present well-justified objections in case anyone wants to oppose the proposal. PROPOSAL: 2014-04, ?Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8? OVERVIEW: Currently, in order to receive a final /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) must have an IPv6 allocation in the RIPE NCC service region. This proposal aims to remove this requirement. STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group ? address-policy-wg at ripe.net DEADLINE: 12 February FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04 PROPOSAL: 2014-06, ?Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet Resource Holders?

We believe this change will provide a more secure, efficient website for our users. Regular visitors to the website will not notice any change (other than "https://" in the website?s URL). A small number of users running scripts against the website could potentially be affected, and may need to update their scripts to run over HTTPS instead of HTTP. Those using very old and unsupported browser versions (such as Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows XP) may no longer be able to access the website. The www.ripe.net website has been available over HTTPS for some time already, and we are now making it HTTPS-only for two reasons: to improve the website?s security, and because we plan to integrate RIPE NCC Access (our single sign-on system) with www.ripe.net as part of our larger website redesign project, which requires us to use HTTPS throughout the site. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

This issue allowed authenticated LIR Portal users to potentially access the invoices of other RIPE NCC members. Our investigation has shown that the issue was introduced on Monday morning, the same day it was discovered. A fix for this issue was deployed on Wednesday, 21 January 2015. We found no evidence that the issue was abused. No action is required from LIR Portal users. Measures have been taken to improve our internal software development processes with regard to security. We would like to thank Marco N?f, the RIPE NCC member who reported this issue, allowing us to resolve this issue quickly.
