Regional registries, report of meeting

Report on Meeting of Regional Registries
Amsterdam, 27th January 1995

The meeting was convened on the initiative of the RIPE NCC
and took place immediately after RIPE 20.  The attenders
were:

	David Conrad		AP regional registry
	Elise Gerich		MERIT
	Geert-Jan de Groot	RIPE NCC
	Kim Hubbard		InterNIC
	Daniel Karrenberg	RIPE NCC
	Mark Kosters		InterNIC
	Mike Norris		RIPE

In discussion, the following points were agreed:

*  There was need to exchange information about applications
   for IP address space and AS numbers.  Regional registries
   would share such information, especially concerning
   applications for large amounts of resource.

*  The assign-review at ripe.net list would be used to discuss
   queries about assignment of address space.

*  Charging for address space should be broadly similar
   between regional registries.

*  Charging for name space would be considered in the light
   of any InterNIC decision thereon.

*  The regional registries would meet regularly and would also
   arrange collectively to meet Jon Postel.
