Hi,

 Gert is one of the few people I know that I trust completely regarding
 integrity. He proved me right again by letting Sander conclude this
 proposal so that neutrality is given.

Indeed. I am staying out of this discussion and I will limit myself to judging 
on consensus or not. I admit that I am very annoyed by what is happening on the 
list at the moment, but I will not let that influence my decision. That will be 
based on arguments for/against the proposal and how they are addressed.

What we look for is support for the proposal and that the objections against 
the proposal have been properly considered. That doesn't mean that every 
objection blocks the proposal. Rough consensus only requires the objections to 
be taken seriously and be considered.

I will let you know the outcome once I analyse every message from the review 
phase about this proposal on this mailing list. This might take a while... 
Please be a bit patient.

Cheers,
Sander

Hi Sasha,

 Another thing that may help is to move away from mailing lists as
 the sole tool - email is something that only old farts like
 myself are really comfortable with, not to mention very open to
 abuse as we've seen. There are more modern collaboration tools
 available, something like Etherpad maybe...

Good points, agreed.

It’s normal for some community members feel aggrieved by suspected serious foul 
play, be it legit or not. Inevitable really, considering what has become the 
(rather ugly) IPv4 gold rush.
However to echo Gert, APWG is not the place for raising claims. Better take

Hi,

As a casual reader of this list, I would say that

a) there is nothing to be gained from mudslinging about past behaviours wrt 
IPv4 address acquisition/trading (if illegal things have happened, that’s for 
the authorities to investigate, and not for this list...)

b) as a community we should ensure we have policies that allow the remaining 
scarce RIR IPv4 resource to be allocated fairly and equitably within our 
community for genuine use (which at this point ought to be with a view to 
supporting IPv6 transition - we were of course supposed to all be on IPv6 
before IPv4 ran out, but hey….)

c) as a community we should also be taking all reasonable steps to progress the 
transition to IPv6 (for which, for example, Apple’s announcement this week that 
its App Store would in future only add IPv6-capable apps was excellent news...)

The tone of many posts here, of late, has been very disappointing. Let’s please

Re: [address-policy-wg] Next steps for new LIRs

2015-06-11 Thread Sebastian Wiesinger
* David Huberman david.huber...@microsoft.com [2015-06-11 16:03]:
 Hello,
 
 I think it is time to consider the next step for dealing with the
 problem of a few individuals opening up dozens of LIRs for the
 exclusive purpose of selling the /22s. Such activity is outright
 fraud, and something the NCC should tackle with the assistance of
 the APWG.

I agree but currently I don't have a good idea what else to do that
will not interfer with normal LIR operation(s).

One thing that came to my mind was to reinstate IPv4 requirements for
that last /8? Perhaps require a specific use for the /22?

I can already hear people shouting that this is not worth it. But the
situation will probably get worse before it gets better. When ARIN
runs out (hard) it might get worse even more so. It's impossible to
see what the state of the system will be in 10 years but I'm still
thinking we should preserve addresses for newcomers instead of letting
people make money off of it (which they will probably NOT spend on
IPv6 deployments).

My hope is that the IPv4 market will get smaller in the same way that
IPv6 grows and there are signs that IPv6 adoption is finally
increasing in speed.  So perhaps this problem will solve itself in the
next few years.

 Obvious point 2: The NCC staff likely know when a request is a
 duplicate of previous requests.  (Or at least, in many cases they
 do.)
 
 We had discussed in Amsterdam that perhaps it was best to empower
 the staff to stop the activity when it is clear to them that such
 activity is taking place. So how about a policy sentence that reads
 something like:
 
 When RIPE NCC staff have reason to believe a LIR is being opened
 for the purposes of selling the IPv4 block allocation, such a
 request may be denied.

The question is how would it be clear? I'm not so sure that this is
something the NCC staff would be comfortable to decide. But perhaps we
should ask the NCC if there are cases where they could be reasonably
sure that a new LIR tries to game the system. (Like having
ExampleCorp1-20 which are owned by the same person open 20 LIRs)

Regards

Sebastian

  I will readily admit that I can not come up with a text which prevents

  Indeed. Mergers  acquisitions are real-world business events that APWG
  cannot affect. I see a big nut to crack on how to address abuse via
  illegitimate MA, including figuring out what is and what is not
  illegitimate and abuse.
 I reckon if/when this proposal has gone through (either confirmed or
 rejected), some sane solution to this whole thing has to be found ... as
 several people - even some nay-sayers - have said, the current proposal
 does not cover enough bases to discourage or prevent policy abuse.

 I'm sure that - as it has a direct impact on the business of both
 IP-brokers and wannabe-profiteers - it will face even stronger
 opposition by several people, but most likely no substantial arguments
 (as we have already seen these last couple days - after all, saying it
 will cut in my personal profit won't be a valid argument against the
 policy to knowingly cut into profits of policy-abusers in order to allow
 late entries into the ISP market some affordable set of IPv4 addresses).

 Without really thinking about all possibilities, I would imagine there
 are certain reasons for or against the transfer of IPs, though some
 wording and way of proof would have to be found that be used to decide
 whether a transfer was permitted or not ...

 From the top of my head, for a transfer, certain situations come to mind:

 * merger/acquisition of company (can be proved through official
 papers/registration information)
 * is there actually any other justifiable reason?

 Personally, I would see certain use cases where a transfer is not
 necessary for any technical/organizational reasons: (which may even
 weigh stronger than e.g. the merger/acquisition argument)

 * shutdown of an ISP or company, where loss of IP usage would not impact
 customers (current use is terminated, IPs are no longer announced)
 * IPs were never (publicly?) used or only intermittently announced (how
 could actual use be documented apart from just an announcement? Would an
 announcement on the Internet be sufficient?), or have been unused for a
 certain amount of time (3 months?)

 Due to the fact that IP addresses (especially PAs assigned to an LIR)
 are not owned by the LIR (in part documented by the yearly bill for
 the resource) IPs should not count as an asset with monetary value, thus
 allowing the RIR to collect them if policy requirements aren't met.

 Possibly: Requirement to announce and use IPs from last-/8 within 3
 months of assignment, otherwise the non-transferal-duration would be
 extended by 1 year

I agree with Yuri and want to warn you next. 

Why do we discuss about profit? We can also say that ISPs or Hosting Providers 
get IPs, then start their servers, networks and make profit. It's too bad. 
Let's close this hole.

This proposal won't solve IPv4 exhaustion problem, due to the part of transfers 
from the last /8 is too small.

11.06.2015, 20:55, Staff off...@ip4market.ru:
 Greetings!

 Everybody should remember that market begins when some luck of resources
 take place. Everybody want to force world to move to Ipv6 and forget
 about the problems. But until IPv4 exists and it's possible to use
 it/get it/buy it - and it's easier then to start Ipv6 - people will use
 IPv4.

 If we will make harder to get IPv4 - the market will grow. But people
 who discuss here - they don't want this market. So logicaly they need to
 allow people use IPv4 and get them easy, but not harder.

 Let's say give new LIR /21 (2048IP). It will be more then enough for
 several years. And I will tell why. Becouse it will drop the market
 price low and stop some speculations. And a lot of people will start
 selling resources that they don't need. And people who need IPs - they
 will be able to get enough from RIPE in standard way. There is no
 secrets here. Everything is clear. If more people work in this clear and
 fair way - the more people will offer own IPs for others.

 There will be no luck of IPs. Just more redistribution.

 What do community thinks?

you can not say I am going to sentence that guy for 10 years just because I

[address-policy-wg] Future of Re: [policy-announce] 2015-01 Draft Document and Impact Analysis Published (Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations)

2015-06-11 Thread Garry Glendown

 I will readily admit that I can not come up with a text which prevents
 abuse _and_ allows for valid operational needs, though.
 Indeed. Mergers  acquisitions are real-world business events that APWG
 cannot affect. I see a big nut to crack on how to address abuse via
 illegitimate MA, including figuring out what is and what is not
 illegitimate and abuse.
I reckon if/when this proposal has gone through (either confirmed or
rejected), some sane solution to this whole thing has to be found ... as
several people - even some nay-sayers - have said, the current proposal
does not cover enough bases to discourage or prevent policy abuse.

I'm sure that - as it has a direct impact on the business of both
IP-brokers and wannabe-profiteers - it will face even stronger
opposition by several people, but most likely no substantial arguments
(as we have already seen these last couple days - after all, saying it
will cut in my personal profit won't be a valid argument against the
policy to knowingly cut into profits of policy-abusers in order to allow
late entries into the ISP market some affordable set of IPv4 addresses).

Without really thinking about all possibilities, I would imagine there
are certain reasons for or against the transfer of IPs, though some
wording and way of proof would have to be found that be used to decide
whether a transfer was permitted or not ...

From the top of my head, for a transfer, certain situations come to mind:

* merger/acquisition of company (can be proved through official
papers/registration information)
* is there actually any other justifiable reason?

Personally, I would see certain use cases where a transfer is not
necessary for any technical/organizational reasons: (which may even
weigh stronger than e.g. the merger/acquisition argument)

* shutdown of an ISP or company, where loss of IP usage would not impact
customers (current use is terminated, IPs are no longer announced)
* IPs were never (publicly?) used or only intermittently announced (how
could actual use be documented apart from just an announcement? Would an
announcement on the Internet be sufficient?), or have been unused for a
certain amount of time (3 months?)

Due to the fact that IP addresses (especially PAs assigned to an LIR)
are not owned by the LIR (in part documented by the yearly bill for
the resource) IPs should not count as an asset with monetary value, thus
allowing the RIR to collect them if policy requirements aren't met.

Possibly: Requirement to announce and use IPs from last-/8 within 3
months of assignment, otherwise the non-transferal-duration would be
extended by 1 year

2015-06-11 Thread Opteamax GmbH
Hi Garry,

all your points are totally right. So ... when will we start writing
that much stricter proposal ... I'd be happy to assist!

But: announcement-validation is not a valid mechanism ... for that you'd
need only one real internet connected router and a VM running e.g. bird,
which announces your prefixes.

I remember about 10 years ago, when I was trying to request a /17 for a
hoster in US at Arin, we were forced to provide a list with full
customer contact-data for all our IPs assigned ... and they really
contacted customers of us asking if they were running hosts in our
address-space ... So if NCC does not have to handle all this transfer
documentation anymore, LIR openers and closures, they'd have enough time
to really validate requirement for transfer.

As already written in earlier mails ... if the hurdle of reasoning why a
transfer is high enough, the market will break ... and honestly I am
sure that this would fasten up V6 deployment enormously!

[address-policy-wg] Next steps for new LIRs

2015-06-11 Thread David Huberman
Hello,

I think it is time to consider the next step for dealing with the problem of a 
few individuals opening up dozens of LIRs for the exclusive purpose of selling 
the /22s. Such activity is outright fraud, and something the NCC should tackle 
with the assistance of the APWG.

Obvious point 1: 
It is very difficult to write policy text which stops such behavior, but does 
not impact legitimate market behavior. 

Obvious point 2:
The NCC staff likely know when a request is a duplicate of previous requests.  
(Or at least, in many cases they do.)

We had discussed in Amsterdam that perhaps it was best to empower the staff to 
stop the activity when it is clear to them that such activity is taking place. 
So how about a policy sentence that reads something like:

When RIPE NCC staff have reason to believe a LIR is being opened for the 
purposes of selling the IPv4 block allocation, such a request may be denied.

Just throwing out ideas,
David

Re: [address-policy-wg] Next steps for new LIRs

2015-06-11 Thread Mike Burns
Hello List,

Here is my trial balloon attempting to offer a policy which prevents gaming.
The concept is that it is simpler to attack the incentive than wade into the
quagmire of defining legitimate business operations.

I propose that new RIPE LIRs get their /22, but it only becomes fully vested
as an asset after 5 years.
Before that time, RIPE won't allow these 185/8 addresses to be transferred
without RIPE being paid the balance of the 5 years' worth of membership
fees.

So the new LIR gets the /22 and pays the annual membership fee to RIPE.
After 5 payments the addresses are fully transferable.
If the new LIR goes out of business and returns the addresses, they don't
owe anything further.
If the new LIR wants to sell the addresses, he first has to pay the balance
of 5 years membership dues to RIPE.

So if he sells the addresses after one year, he has to pay four years of
RIPE membership dues before they process the transfer.

This lets the new LIR accumulate asset value in the addresses over time and
gives him the option of selling or returning the addresses.
I chose 5 years because right now 5 years of RIPE fees is roughly the cost
for a /22.

This will not be overly burdensome to RIPE staff, as analysis is only
performed when and if a transfer of 185/8 addresses is submitted.

This will not require judgement calls on the part of RIPE staff.

If prices skyrocket, we can adjust the number of years.

(Not commenting on prior policy but providing commentary on Mr.Huberman's
post.)


Thoughts?

Mike Burns

2015-06-11 Thread Riccardo Gori

Hi all,

fixed that I am against abuses. I think we have to keep in mind that 
RIPE task is resource distribution not holding them in a drawer.


A patent is useful when registered, detailed described and made public 
so that anyone can understand the benefit and re-do the same following 
patent istructions.
Not in a drawer. It becomes a rich business when you can make it 
available to the market at a so resoanable (sometimes not) price a that 
people don't need to build up it themself.
I hate the guys whos eyes are rolling with dollar symbol when they see a 
new business opportunity: speculators.
I love people that when find a new business are entusiat to do business 
with it 'cause it  solve a problem or makes life easier and better and 
they can make money with it.


I don't think policy 2015-01 will save IPv4 and I don't think it is its 
purpose.
I don't think this will make someone richer and someone else poorer, 
that's a market thing.

I like it in its simpleness: just an alignement.
Transferred IPs have to be holded 24 months... with 2015-01 *all* 
transferred IPs have to be holded 24months that's it.

Simple and clean as considered by Gert ad RIPE69 listeing to proposal.

In the past someone chated the system with fake address plans I need 
more address space

Now someone cheats the system with fake I need a new LIR
I can't see any difference in this and to me 2015-01 looks fair enough.

am with Sebastian


I agree but currently I don't have a good idea what else to do that
will not interfer with normal LIR operation(s).


About must deploy IPv6 I remeber you that IPv6 allocation requirement 
has been just removed from /22 IPv4 requests.
Acceped march 2015: 2014-04, Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving 
Space from the Final /8

You don't even need an IPv6 address space to ask for IPv4 /22
Now remember that RIPE task is to distribute resources and think about it.

from NRO stats https://www.nro.net/statistics

2012 - AVAILABLE IPv4 /8s IN
RIPE 1.02
ARIN 2.86

06/2015 - AVAILABLE IPv4 /8s IN
RIPE 1.09
ARIN 0.13
https://www.ripe.net/publications/ipv6-info-centre/about-ipv6/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-pool-graph
https://www.arin.net/

task: distribute resources. ARIN has almost reached the task don't you 
think?


Another point:
Acceped april 2015: 2014-05 Proposal Accepted (Policy for Inter-RIR 
Transfers of Internet Resources)
Please note the Arguments Opposing the Proposal It may reintroduce 
needs justification to the RIPE region [...]


Finally
I think the policies are going the right way.
This won't stop speculators or fix everything but is trying to save the 
task of distributing resources in a bottom - up fair way (read as 
approved from the community)


Standing on me I finally decided study better IPv6 and understand its 
market problem and I will try spend some work in that direction next months.
Even if 17 years old he's still a teen and see a couple of market 
problems in it.
From RIPE70 i decided to go this way and I'll get in touch with IETF 
and try to put some ideas in and see if something can help.


kind regards
Riccardo

you think?


Was ironic to point out that there are many different point of views.
Someone thinks that IPv6 will grow when IPv4 will be completly exhausted.
I can't see any other reason to allow inter-RIR transfert (2014-05) to 
address the need of address space where is available or stock-piled and 
unused
So the good guy who stockpiled is the old cheater that needed IPv4 /15 - 
/17 or the new cheater that needed many IPv4 /22 ? I see no differences.

About the policy in RIPE region:
Acceped march 2015: 2014-04, Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving 
Space from the Final /8
Acceped april 2015: 2014-05 Proposal Accepted (Policy for Inter-RIR 
Transfers of Internet Resources)

I see easiness
in 2015-01 I see alignement, you can find the same rule 24months in 
2014-05




Without acknowledging your interpretation of distributing resources, 
I would like to point out that when ARIN in a very short time no 
longer has any of these resources to distribute, they will, _forever_, 
fail to do their task, while RIPE still will carry out that task.

I think they should have an IPv6 /12 as other RIRs to distribute...


So if we accepted your premise that that is _The Task_, RIPE will be 
performing the task better than ARIN, and not vice versa.

I think both are complying the task as well as the bottom-up approved

Hi Ciprian,

  so not that the policy is useless but it's proposal was a mistake.

Calling my proposal a mistake is very rude from you and I already asked you
to stop being rude, before you started the thread below.

Even though I already responded to a message you have sent yesterday telling
you that it's not nice what you are doing, you have continued to make false
accusations and wrongfully interpret what others have said. 
Curious though, all the wrong interpretations were just to start attacks
against me...

On 10/06/15 14:39, Ciprian Nica wrote:
 Hi,
[...]
 Please provide evidence for following claim, otherwise you are just 
 making accusation without any support evidence.

 He approved your request for hudreds of thousands of IPs, even 
 approved this last-second allocation. 

 And the reality is, Elvis has never on the position to make final 
 decision about our allocation.
 You told us that. I can't know what happened during that allocations. 
 I only was refering to what you told us, that Elvis was the one that 
 approved your allocations. Maybe you know what happens behind the 
 scene but that should also bring some questions.
You, intentionally, misunderstood what Lu said and used your wrong
assumptions to start an attack against me. I was under the impression that
you are better than this but it seems you are not better than all the others
that have been attacking me over this policy proposal because their
'business' was affected. I wonder what kind of business you have if you
publicly attack persons and companies relying on your own false assumptions.


What Lu said was that during the evaluation of his requests, he was unhappy
that I was very strict. He, as well as other RIPE NCC Members may have seen
me as a very strict person when I was working at the RIPE NCC. That was only
because I always thrive to be very good at my job and I have always verified
(maybe too much) in depth all the documentation received from LIRs. Just as
you have received the /28 IPv6 allocation (for your extremely large IPv6
deployment) some LIRs may have have received large IPv4 allocations when
these were justified.
If you are complaining that your request got reduced from /13 to a /14, you
should have complained at that time, you should have used all the tools you
had if you think at that time the IPRAs were wrong - including the last
option, request the arbiters to evaluate your request. You can not come back
3-4 years later to say, I could have received more if you would have been
less strict (and assume that we have been less strict others), especially
because you have no idea how strict the NCC IPRAs have been with Lu.

Ciprian, if you really wanted to contribute to this proposal, you were at
the RIPE Meetings where this issue was discussed - however, you decided that
the AP-WG is not worth of your effort and you did not voice any opinion.
Instead, you waited until the last day to start an attack against me (the
proposer) and against some others that you feel 'received more IPs from the
RIPE NCC than you' before the run-out in 2012.

[...]
 Again, you are making false statement without any evidence, in 
 reality, I have never done any business with Elvis now and past.
 I don't know anything about any relation that might be between you and 
 Elvis. You pointed him out as the one giving you the IPs (approving 
 the requests).

Lu never pointed out that I 'gave' him the IPs. He actually said that found
me to be 'unfriendly' - while actually I was just strict, just as with all
the other requests I evaluated in the 6 years spent at the NCC.

and before that you said:

  It is very interesting to find out that the IPs were allocated to you by

There is no evidence to back this, so don't go around attacking members of

You might not *like* the brokerage business (which is a perfectly viable
personal opinion - I think it's important to ensure that buyers and sellers
can have a mutual point of trust, who ensures the transaction is done without
either side cheating) - but that does not imply that the personal integrity of
Elvis is under any sort of doubt here.


If you think something criminal has been done, and can prove it, involve 
NCC management.  But this DOES NOT belong on the AP list.

(And it's a very cheap shot to try to stop the proposal by attacking the
proposer - it won't achieve that, as the proposer is no longer involved
at this point anyway.  It's a matter of the chairs and PDO now.)
