I would like to give you an overview of the current status. <br><br>The facts by numbers:<br>------------------------------<br>LIRs who have enabled the service: 219<br>Number of Route Origin Authorisations they created: 170<br>Number of prefixes covered by these ROAs: 469<br>Total IPv4 space covered by ROAs in the RIPE region: 40159 /24s<br>Total IPv6 space covered by ROAs in the RIPE region: 7340035 /48s<br>Unique visitors to <a href="http://ripe.net/certification:">ripe.net/certification:</a> 1564<br>Downloads of the RIPE NCC Validator: 117<br><br>So while 219 LIRs have enabled the service, and very diligently created a large number of ROAs to specify their routing policy, unfortunately nobody gave any feedback on any of the mailing lists. It is very important that you let your voice be heard and provide input on policy proposal 2008-08:<br><a href="http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-08.html">http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-08.html</a><br><br>Please note that version 3.0 of this proposal will be published very soon. As soon as it is available, I urge you to read it and provide feedback, because the fact that the current service not backed by a policy is not a sustainable state of affairs. <br><br>Kind regards,<br><br>Alex Band<div>Product Manager, RIPE NCC</div><div><a href="http://ripe.net/certification">http://ripe.net/certification</a><br><br>P.S.
