The RIPE NCC is continuing to grow its membership and engage more with members through small regional meetings. Resource transfers of IPv4 addresses and other resources are increasing as the RIPE NCC has expanded transfer policies. The RIPE Atlas internet measurement network continues expanding towards a goal of 10,000 probes, and the K-root anycast network is also being expanded. The RIPE NCC is also working on implementing legacy resource holder policies and increasing uptake of RPKI certificates among members.

RIPE NCC UpdateMore Engagement with Members
• Holding lightweight “member lunches” in cities
where our staff already have another engagement
• Meetings last 2-3 hours and attract 20-30 members
• Typically members who don’t often come to
meetings
• Members get an update on the latest news and a
chance to meet with our staff in person
• We gain a lot of valuable feedback on the views and
priorities of our members

RIPE NCC UpdateResource Transfers
• We still have IPv4 addresses left — we have more than
a /8 in the available pool
- Every member can get 1,024 addresses (/22)
- Block reserved for Internet Exchange Points
• “Alignment of Transfer Requirements” policy change
avoids LIRs being created solely to transfer /22
allocations
• RIPE NCC Executive Board resolution that at least one
full year’s membership fee must be paid before an LIR
can close down

RIPE NCC UpdateResource Transfers
• All Internet number resources can now be
transferred within the RIPE NCC service region
• Inter-RIR transfers available from end of September
• Number of IPv4 transfers increasing:
- 919 transfers in 2014 / 2,021 so far in 2015
• 13 IPv6 / 18 ASN transfers so far
-Mainly due to members transferring their entire networks

• 180 16-bit ASNs in remaining pool
• Still have 2,850 returned 16-bit ASNs, most that are
referenced in a number of database objects — will
assign from this pool in future
• We have assigned 32-bit ASNs by default since 2009,
which has encouraged adoption

RIPE NCC UpdateRIPE Atlas
• Currently at 8,568 connected probes and 138 RIPE
Atlas anchors; aiming for 10,000 probes
• Being more selective about distribution — only
looking for ASes that don’t already have a probe
• Happy to have APNIC’s help
- APNIC hosting 10 RIPE Atlas anchors
- Helping to distribute probes in your region
• Find out how others are using RIPE Atlas:

RIPE NCC UpdateK-root Expansion
• New architecture is simpler and more cost effective
for hosts, and removes operational overhead for us
• 15 nodes added in 2015 / 16 existing nodes
• Replacing existing nodes with the new setup
• Now considering requests for new K-root hosted
nodes
• Contacting organisations that had previously
expressed interest to assess suitability
• APNIC hosting one node in Brisbane

RIPE NCC UpdatePolicy Proposals Under Discussion
• 2014-03 “Remove Multihoming Requirements for
AS Number Assignments”
- Allows networks to request ASNs without being multihomed
• 2015-03 “Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial
Allocation Size”
- Widens the criteria the RIPE NCC looks at for initial IPv6
allocations
• 2015-04 “RIPE Resource Transfer Policies”
- Creates a single transfer policy document for all types of
Internet number resources
