From ingrid at ripe.net Tue Oct 7 11:16:21 2014 From: ingrid at ripe.net (Ingrid Wijte) Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2014 11:16:21 +0200 Subject: [ncc-services-wg] Implementation Timeline for Phasing Out Text-Based Email Request Forms Message-ID: <5433AF65.4090302@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, On 5 August 2014, we sent a request for feedback on our proposal to phase out email-based request forms: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2014-August/002850.html The two-month period for comments has ended, and we would like to thank you all for your feedback. We have taken into account the concerns raised and adjusted the planned implementation accordingly. A summary of the implementation timeline is provided at the bottom of this email. The main concern we received was that the time frame for members to adjust their internal processes was not long enough. We will therefore extend the proposed implementation to the end of May 2015. As of today, the APIs are available for the following resource requests: - IPv4 First Allocation - IPv6 First Allocation - IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignment - Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment You can find the APIs and the accompanying documentation at: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/developer-documentation/resource-request-api We ask that you test these APIs in the coming three months (until 31 January 2015) and check that they are compatible with your workflow. Based on the feedback we receive, the final APIs will be deployed at the end of February 2015. We will then archive the email-based request forms and supporting notes that are published on www.ripe.net. Our systems will continue to accept the email-based request forms for a further three months. From the end of May 2015, email-based request forms will no longer be accepted. Another concern raised was with regards to a fall-back mechanism if the LIR Portal and APIs are not available due to technical problems. In such a situation, we currently accept emails to request resources without syntax changes, and we will continue to have this fall-back mechanism in the future. As a final note, over the past weeks we have worked to improve and simplify the request forms in the LIR Portal. Work has now been completed on all forms. The simplified process means that you can complete a request for any Internet resource quickly and easily. We will also publish the information needed to request resources in a document that replaces the supporting notes and maintains a high level of transparency. We appreciate your feedback on further improvements. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at: Timeline Summary 1 October 2014 - End of initial comment period on new process 7 October 2014 - New APIs for resource requests made available 31 January 2015 - End of comment period on new APIs 28 February 2015 - Deployment of final APIs and archive email-based request forms and supporting notes 30 May 2015 - Email resource requests no longer accepted Best regards Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC From bijal at euro-ix.net Mon Oct 13 14:34:01 2014 From: bijal at euro-ix.net (Bijal Sanghani) Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:34:01 +0100 Subject: [ncc-services-wg] Call for Agenda Items RIPE69 - RIPE NCC Services WG Message-ID: <3E4FC8C7-0BAE-4FFE-AE19-C5E226110E2D@euro-ix.net> Dear NCC-Services WG, RIPE69 is a few weeks away and we have a few spaces free on the agenda.

Kind regards, Training Services From bijal at euro-ix.net Tue Oct 28 09:38:32 2014 From: bijal at euro-ix.net (Bijal Sanghani) Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:38:32 +0200 Subject: [ncc-services-wg] NCC Services WG Chair re-election process Message-ID: Hello NCC Services WG, The collective of RIPE working group chairpersons has decided that each RIPE working group should have some rules regarding the re-selection of the chairs. Kurtis and I have come up with the following, we?ve tried to keep it light weight and simple so we can easily change if needed for the next round: The RIPE NCC Services Working Group will endeavour to keep two Chair persons whenever possible. Every two years one of the chairs will offer to stand down to allow new candidates to become Chair. The Chair standing down will be announced via email to the working group mailing list, prior to next meeting. Any community members may volunteer for the available position. During the meeting, the working group itself will by consensus establish the new or re-elected working group Chair. If for what ever reason consensus can not be reached or there are no new volunteers the existing Chair will continue their working group duties. For those interested in volunteering for a working group position, please read the description and responsibilities of a RIPE working group Chair, RIPE-542 http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-542 Please let us know if you have any feedback before or at RIPE 69 in London.

Again, as pointed out elsewhere, what about remote participants and others following the mailing list? Not to mention some of the other downside of only doing it at a meeting like peer-pressure, we could just as well introduce voting there?:-) -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE rogerj at gmail.com | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | roger at jorgensen.no From bijal at euro-ix.net Thu Oct 30 16:22:06 2014 From: bijal at euro-ix.net (Bijal Sanghani) Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:22:06 +0200 Subject: [ncc-services-wg] [ncc-services-wg-chairs] NCC Services WG Chair re-election process In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4CEF2A25-DE90-4E0F-BDC3-2DDC62BAF146@euro-ix.net> Hi Roger, On 28 Oct 2014, at 14:51, Roger J?rgensen wrote: > On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 9:38 AM, Bijal Sanghani wrote: > >> During the meeting, the working group itself will by consensus establish the new or re-elected working group Chair.
