From info at arin.net Fri Oct 2 12:12:30 2015 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 12:12:30 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] RIPE NCC Implements Inter-RIR Transfer Policy Message-ID: <560EACEE.2050203@arin.net> On 30 September 2015, the RIPE NCC announced the implementation of the ?Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources?. This policy meets the requirements outlined by ARIN?s ?Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients? (NRPM 8.4), and will allow ARIN and RIPE NCC to transfer IPv4 addresses between resource holders in the two regions. ARIN has already been processing NRPM 8.4 transfers with APNIC and now will also process them with RIPE NCC.

This agreement is the successor to existing RSA and LRSA agreements. On 1 September 2015, ARIN concluded its consultation with the community with regards to this combined agreement. The revisions found in this new agreement were based on the feedback received from the community over the past few years. RSA Version 12.0 / LRSA Version 4.0 is an update to the previous RSA Version 11.0 and LRSA Version 3.0, which were already quite similar in terms. This single agreement will be used moving forward effective 6 October 2015 and includes notable and substantive revisions including but not limited to: * The agreements term's are only applicable to "Included Number Resources" (i.e. the Internet number resources pursuant to the agreement, not any other number resources that parties may hold under an existing LRSA or under no agreement) * Similarly clarifying that "Included Number Resources" are not property is only applicable to the "Included Number Resources" in the agreement * Provides uniform service terms and conditions (other than fees) for all customers receiving services from ARIN * Defines ARIN's services that are covered by the agreement, including resource certification * Provides a more balanced agreement with more limited rights to ARIN and more equivalent rights to holders * Clarifying the notification provisions to protect both parties * ARIN's Fee Schedule will not be applied retroactivity, and * Clarifying renewals to meet the needs of governmental entities. Existing holders of Internet number resources have the opportunity to upgrade to this new version of the registration services agreement. They can retain their current registration services agreement if they choose. To view RSA Version 12.0 / LRSA Version 4.0 please visit: https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/rsa.pdf Note that the final RSA Version 12.0 / LRSA Version 4.0 incorporates changes and clarifications as a result of the community consultation on the earlier draft that closed on 1 September 2015. Differences between that earlier draft and the final RSA Version 12.0 / LRSA Version 4.0 are highlighted in a redlined document: https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/changes_rsa12_draft.pdf Anyone needing further information about the RSA Version 12.0 / LRSA Version 4.0 can call the Financial Services Help Desk at +1-703-227-9886 or send an email to billing at arin.net. Nothing in this announcement alters or otherwise modifies any terms of RSAs previously signed. Regards, John Curran President & CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd.

Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Wed Oct 14 13:46:21 2015 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:46:21 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] NRO Statement on IANA Stewardship Transition and ICANN Accountability Message-ID: <561E94ED.6090100@arin.net> The following messages is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. *** The NRO takes this opportunity to comment on the current discussions of ICANN accountability, prior to the series of meetings coming up in Dublin, Ireland, during October 2015. The NRO has worked to ensure that to the extent possible, relationships between ICANN, RIRs and the global numbering communities are established in formal relationships that provide necessary definition and separation of responsibilities. The number community proposal for IANA oversight transition relies on these existing relationships, and builds on them to ensure that responsibilities, commitments and accountabilities are clear and robust in the post-transition environment. Regarding our expectations of ICANN accountability: in our relationships with ICANN, we have and will continue to rely upon binding agreements as the primarily mechanism for ICANN accountability to the numbers community. Regarding organizational models for ICANN accountability, the NRO notes that two legal memos [1][2] reached the conclusion that ICANN currently uses a ?Designator? model for appointment of Directors, and that the designators currently have the power to remove the Directors that they appoint. We also note that both legal memos pointed out gaps in the current ICANN bylaws, and one of them was associated with concrete suggestions for bylaw changes to address the identified gaps [3]. The NRO believes that a clarification and formalisation of ICANN?s existing designator structure via the ?Empowered SO/AC Designator? model (as referenced in the CCWG-Accountability ?2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations? [4]) is the most straightforward approach to provide ICANN structural accountability to the community. We believe that the ability for designator organisations (SOs, ACs, and the NomCom) to remove and replace their designated Directors would provide a sufficient mechanism for enforcement of the desired community powers. However, we are able to support any accountability reform proposal which preserves and ensures ICANN?s ability to perform in accordance with our agreements, providing also that they are consistent with the successful IANA stewardship transition in the time available. The NRO is fully committed to the completion of the current IANA stewardship transition as a desirable and necessary evolution of the current ICANN and IANA models. Indeed, this is an overdue development that we have explicitly supported in several prior public statements. We therefore urge the global multistakeholder community to continue the work to converge on a mutually acceptable accountability reform proposal, which needs to achieve only the following: * Satisfying immediate concerns over ICANN accountability * Allowing the IANA transition to take place within the expected timeframe * Ensuring that ICANN evolution can and will continue in future. Finally we recognize the ongoing efforts by the CCWG and the ICANN Board to arrive to a successful conclusion of the work which is necessary for the IANA transition to occur. It is important that all of these efforts be fully respectful of the work of the community and that any discrepancies be dealt with in a true and amicable multistakeholder fashion.
