Hi Cathy,<br>
<br>
how can one verify where address space is used? Do you verify the AS
announcing it, and what if that AS is globally routed and it peers
with various organisations within several service regions? Do you
ping the address to see how long it takes for the Pong to come back
to you? <br>
These RIR bordes are artificial and have nothing to do with
operational reality. One can route the address space it gets from/to
anywhere in the world, especially if it has a Tier1/2 provider which
offers global services.<br>
<br>
There has been a simple workaround available for years. Have a look
at the RIPE Database split files and see how many inetnums have
country code US. You will be surprised :)<br>
You can always announce a /16 in the RIPE region and two /17s in the
ARIN region and then the 'requirement' of having the space announced
in the RIPE region is satisfied, right?<br>
It's just that all the traffic will flow to the router announcing
the two /17s. <br>
Plus, the RIPE NCC allocates only a /22 from the last /8. So, if you
become a member and have a router somewhere in Europe where you will
need to use at least a few addresses and therefore you qualify to
receive the /22. RIPE NCC will not complain if the /24 used for that
router/equipment is announced in the RIPE region and the rest in an
other region where you may have other equipment and/or customers.<br>
Additionally, once you are a member and request a transfer, the only
thing you need to fill in is the transfer agreement template and
confirm that you are requesting the transfer in order to make
assignments from the allocation. It does not matter to whom you make
those assignments or where these will be used.<br>
<a href="http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv4-transfers/transfer-agreement-template" target="_blank">http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/ipv4-transfers/transfer-agreement-template</a><br>
Lastly, the RIPE NCC SSA (the contract) does not say anything about
where the resources can be used and the _current policies_ are at
best *vague*. <br>
<br>
For example, the RIPE IPv4 policy says:<br>
<tt>"1.0 Introduction</tt>
<tt><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:16.8px;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
The RIPE NCC is an independent association and serves as one of
five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). Its service region
incorporates Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The RIPE
NCC is responsible for the allocation and assignment of Internet
Protocol (IP) address space, Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)
and the management of reverse domain names within this region.<span><br>
[...]<br>
1.1 Scope</span></span></tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,FreeSans,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:16.8px;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><tt>This document
describes the policies for the responsible management of
globally unique IPv4 Internet address space in the RIPE NCC
service region. The policies documented here apply to all IPv4
address space allocated and assigned by the RIPE NCC.</tt><span><tt>"</tt><br>
</span></span>
<div><br>
There is no document saying that the address space allocated by
the RIPE NCC can only be used in the RIPE service region.<br>
<br>
As far as I have seen ARIN is only now trying to limit the use of
the address space it allocates to it's service region. I do not
think a similar policy proposal would fly in the RIPE community.<br>
<br>
We live in a global world, most large companies have operations in
more than one region. I think these organisations should have only
one RIR handle their addresses and the RIRs should mirror the
databases of the other RIRs to avoid duplicate registration. My
impression is that the RIPE NCC is the only RIR that is currently
mirroring the other RIR databases and making steps towards what I
think should become at some point a unique point of data
collection.<br>

<p>Hi David,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>even further... for those that do not
know yet, any legal or private person
can become a member of the RIPE NCC
while the ARIN policies/procedures
still require a company to have a
legal presence in the ARIN region in
order to request resources.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, btw.. have I already mentioned
that the RIPE Community has completely
removed the demonstrated need from
their policy? I think I was only
discussing this matter in the APNIC
mailing lists and maybe those
subscribed to this mailing list should
also be aware of.</p>

There's an argument to be made that if
ARIN won't be flexible with transfer
policy, that RIPE becomes the most
useful RIR for operators to work
within. There's a further argument
that's been made that the time for
regional IRs may be passed (past?) and
that IETF should review the situation.</p>
