From no-reply at ripe.net Fri May 4 11:02:26 2012 From: no-reply at ripe.net (Axel Pawlik) Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 11:02:26 +0200 Subject: Joint NRO / ASO AC Response to ASO Review Report Message-ID: <4FA39B22.9010808@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, In accordance with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Bylaws, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) undertakes independent periodic reviews of the Address Supporting Organization (ASO). ITEMS International, a consultancy engaged by the NRO to conduct this current review, delivered its report in early 2012. A public comment period closed on 6 April 2012. On 30 April 2012, the NRO submitted its considered response to the 26 recommendations of the report and the one recommendation received during the ICANN public comment period. Its response was formulated with the assistance of the ASO Address Council (ASO AC). The NRO extends its thanks to all of those who have participated in this process. For more information, please see: http://www.nro.net/news/joint-nro-aso-ac-response-to-aso-review-report Kind regards, ASO Secretariat From koalafil at gmail.com Wed May 9 17:16:45 2012 From: koalafil at gmail.com (Filiz Yilmaz) Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 17:16:45 +0200 Subject: RIPE 65: Call for Papers Message-ID: Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 65 below. Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz for the RIPE Programme Committee ------------------- Call for Papers: RIPE 65 A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 65 will take place on 24-28 September 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and tutorial sessions at RIPE 65. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations - Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses - Data center technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions Attendees of the RIPE meetings are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the Plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for ?lightning talks? which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following requirements apply: - Proposals for talks, BoFs and panels must be submitted for full consideration no later than 1 July 2012, using the meeting submission system at: https://meetings.ripe.net/pc/ Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require (30 minutes for talks is a common maximum duration, although some talks can be longer). - Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For BoFs and panels proposals must contain a clear description as well as names of invited panelists/presenters. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most if not all presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE meeting. - Lightning talks should be submitted using the meeting submission system. They must be short (10 minutes maximum) and often involve more timely topics. They can be submitted at any time. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced one day prior to the relevant session. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.

This global policy enables IANA to redistribute any recovered IPv4 address space equally amongst the RIRs. Following the ratification of this global policy, on 22 May 2012 the RIPE NCC returned to IANA the 1,368,576 legacy IPv4 addresses that have been returned to the RIPE NCC and plans to return any other legacy IPv4 address space that is returned to the organisation in the future. For more information about this, please see: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/returned-legacy-space The ICANN Board Resolution is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-06may12-en.htm The full text of Global Policy GPP-IPv4-2011 is available at: https://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC From noreply at ripe.net Wed May 30 14:37:01 2012 From: noreply at ripe.net (The RIPE NCC) Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 14:37:01 +0200 Subject: APNIC Survey 2012 Extended to 8 June Message-ID: <4FC6146D.7050509@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, There is still time to respond to the APNIC Survey 2012 and give a direct contribution to APNIC's operational planning and future direction.
