40.5: RFC 2050 mailinglist

Dear lir-wg,
At the meeting in Praha we briefly discussed how to contribute to the global
effort to revise RFC 2050. We were informed that ARIN had set up a working
group for this, with a mailing list. It was suggested that we might join the
mailing list hosted by ARIN to participate in this work, thus forming a
truly global effort on the matter.
Ray Plzak the President of ARIN invited the RIPE community to do so. After
positive reactions from the participants, and no voices against, the chair
declared consensus on this matter.

The details of the list is:

   * List Address:  2050-wg at arin.net
   * Subscription is open to all interested parties
   * List is archived

     More information about the list is available at:
     http://www.arin.net/members/mailing.htm

The charter from ARINs announcement:

"The objective of the RFC 2050 Working Group is to address the issues 
relating to relevance of RFC 2050 to the needs of today's Internet 
registry system. The group will evaluate RFC 2050 and propose a method of 
replacing it with a new document or documents. Once consensus has emerged 
on the process that will be used to replace RFC 2050, the working group 
will cooperatively develop its replacement. The working group will work 
in coordination with the other Regional Internet Registries, who will 
conduct a similar review process in their respective regions. "

At the last ARIN Open Policy meeting in San Francisco concerns were raised 
about RFC 2050. It was noted that this document has aged and that certain 
portions of it no longer reflected the current state of RIR policy and 
operations. Similar concerns have been raised in the APNIC and RIPE NCC 
regions. Accordingly, ARIN is establishing a working group to further 
examine this issue. Mark McFadden has volunteered to chair the 2050WG. 
The charter for the working group follows: 


The objective of the RFC 2050 Working Group is to address the issues 
relating to relevance of RFC 2050 to the needs of today's Internet 
registry system. The group will evaluate RFC 2050 and propose a method of 
replacing it with a new document or documents. Once consensus has emerged 
on the process that will be used to replace RFC 2050, the working group 
will cooperatively develop its replacement. The working group will work 
in coordination with the other Regional Internet Registries, who will 
conduct a similar review process in their respective regions. 


An email list for the 2050WG has been established. Subscription 
information can be found at the following URL:

All interested individuals are encouraged to participate in this 
discussion. This will be an agenda item at the next ARIN Open Policy 
meeting in Miami.

President
