My analogue is as much as close to the current situation, if you have better one explain it please." The problem in your analogy is not with "hungry" because yes a lot of organisations want/need IPv4 but with "children" as all those organisations are not helpless and can get IPv4 right now by renting or buying IPv4 blocks from existing LIRs. Waiting in the queue is in my opinion pointless at this stage and I believe that simply having that queue available is disingenuous on RIPE's part for giving new members false hope. IPv4 resources have value because of scarcity. Resource based fees may be seen by some proponents as a way to get resources returned to the free pool, but in my opinion that simply won't happen. Even in that charging scenario, members that want to reduce their fee will simply sell those resources off to other LIRs rather than return them to the free pool. A resource based charging scheme will only be voted for by those members who would get a fee reduction with that scheme. That is new LIRs that don't even hold significant IPv6 allocations. I would be all for such an option to exist in this year's vote (as I'm quite sure it would not be chosen) if only we could also get an option to keep the 2024 charging scheme and reduce RIPEs operating budget as well (which I am confident that it has been excluded this time because it would once again get the overwhelming amount of votes and RIPE staff and leadership do not want to have to cut back on expenses). -- <div class="moz-signature"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12">  <title>Mediasat</title>  <link rel="themeData" href="signature%20elena%20dobre_files/themedata.thmx"> <link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="signature%20elena%20dobre_files/colorschememapping.xml">  <style>  </style> <div class="WordSection1"> <div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <hr style="width:300.0pt" width="400" size="2" align="left"> </div> </div> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:400;mso-cellspacing:0in;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt: 0 0 0 0" width="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes; width:100%"> <td style="padding:0 0 0 0; width:100%;"> <table style="width:400;padding:0 0 0 0"> <tbody> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes;padding:0 0 0 0;width:100%;"> <td style="padding:0 0 0 0"> Doru Serdin Network Manager Office: +4 031 82 52 657 E-mail: <a href="mailto:doru.serdin@mediasat.ro" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">doru.serdin@mediasat.ro</a> </td> <td style="padding:0 0 0 0"> <table style="padding:0 0 0 0; width:100%;"> <tbody> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes"> <td style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://www.mediasat.ro"><img id="_x0000_i1026" src="https://www.mediasat.ro/assets/img/logo-mediasat.png" alt="www.mediasat.ro" width="149" height="33" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes"> <td style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://www.alonia.ro"><img id="_x0000_i1026" src="https://www.alonia.ro/assets/images/alonia-logo.png" alt="www.alonia.ro" style="margin-left: 16px" width="63" height="30" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes;"> <td style="padding:3px 0px 0px 0px;"> Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.

Luckily this mailing list is public and all messages are logged, you can go find and show us with quote, which I have wrote that these are my intentions. <blockquote type="cite">Now IPv4 has been distributed already, it's gone, deal with it. Either use IPv6 or buy/rent IPv4 from other LIRs. The solution exists for everyone who wants IPv4, it's called money. </blockquote> No the [re]distribution process is endless process. For all INR there will be always in/out actions from the pool. From a registry perspective, it makes no difference whether we are talking about IPV4/IPV6/ASN. All INR should be treated by the same universal rules. If we have a shortage of IPV4 today, it could be also ASN or IPV6 tomorrow. <blockquote type="cite">I on the other hand only want RIPE to spend less money in order for everyone to have to pay less in membership fees in the future. If you want to have a membership fee based on held resources, then the voting power for each LIR should be proportional to that membership fee. </blockquote> I have a proposal for you: Transfer all your LIR resources for free to my company LIR. We will do a contract with your company, and I will provide you registry services for *some* time. We will charge you with 1/4 from our LIR anual fee and will give you 1/4 from our vote right. All aspects of your logic will be filled: 1. Company to Company contract for INR, and not RIR to LIR (LIR to LIR contracts about INR for money) 2. Less fee for your company. 3. Propotioning voting power of your fee. Do you agree mr Doru Serdin ? ---------- To: Kaj Niemi <blockquote type="cite">RIPE-639 specifically mentions in its scope that rights to hold, use or transfer (and remember transfers do not need to be free) "are not addressed or restricted" by it. It also mentions that any existing or future policies do not apply to legacy holders unless it is explicitly included in the other policy. </blockquote> Citate in point 1.2 from ripe-639: "Any existing or future RIPE policy referring to resources shall not apply to legacy resources unless the policy explicitly includes legacy resources in its scope." And because I am talking for a change in ripe-639 (update) my statements are prety valid. ----> Change in policy that include legacy resources in its scope. Another one point here, in the next 2-5 years we the network operators access/content ISP, maybe will completely drop to rely on an old inetnum/inet6num routing information and will switch entirely to ROA/rpki mechanisms. So what will be the purpouse and usage of these legacy resources then ? No one will forward to/from these networks, so why should the register still support them ? The purpose of RIR registers is to provide adequate information about GLOBAL INTERNET PUBLIC RESOURCES wich operators to use for guarantee normal internet work and fraud prevention, not for registering someone's private intranets. <blockquote type="cite">RIPE-822 mentions that assignments are valid as long as the original criteria the assignment was based on is valid and the assignment is registered in the database. It also mentions something about fairness. </blockquote> You are refering to point 6.3 wich describe LIR to end user assignment. We are talking for point 5. RIPE NCC to LIR allocations. <blockquote type="cite">In practice, whether you want it or not, holder equals owner and holding equals ownership. </blockquote> All laws and lawers in EU and in 99% of the world will tell you right oposite. You dont own part of the road on the highway where your car is, just because you pay tax your car to be on the road. You can use it, hold it (for some time), but you can not go drill it dig it take a part of it and sell it, because your car is on top of it and it is "your" property. <blockquote type="cite">One cannot sell or rent something that one do not own or have the rights to. Doing so would constitute some kind of fraud. People sell and buy and rent these daily. </blockquote> In practice it is kind of a fraud indeed. But it is regulated by contract between companies / personals. If I want somebody to pay me for the air he/she breath, finding person whom agree to pay me, and then we make official contract, how to classify it ? Human stupidity is limitless, but to what extent exploiting it is legal or legally prohibited is a stretch question. <blockquote type="cite">As for the apples. 1. in three or 4 parts depending on whether you're willing to sacrifice yourself in favor of your progeny, 2. you should look into buying futures to lock in the price of apples as you are producing a lot daily (not financial advice), 3. you buy apples from someone else. </blockquote> For 1, now you know what RIPE NCC must do with the IPV4 space, and as a parrent you will cut the apple on 3 equal pieces, because every normal parrent love equal all its own kids, and always is ready to sacrifice self in favor of progeny. For 2 Even it not very standart answer, it shows what have to be made with IPV6 and ASN INR, RIPE NCC should lock part of his budget and on that resources too. for the future when IPV4 will be totaly unusable. Also soon or later you will go to question 3 (nothing is forever, soon or later your tree will die - IPV6/ASN will be exhausted) For 3 You can not just buy apples from somewhere, INR are not magicaly show up from somewhere and somebody to sell them to you, they are finite numbers. To produce new INR you need decades in developing, clear and implementing new standarts all over the world (as you can see with IPV6 integration), and another decades to make everybody start using it. Thats why we also need a guard mechanisms to prevent wastage and rapid unreasonable depletion. Now combine all and find common point, with wich we can achive all key targets. And tell what strategy we should have to complete the goals. ---------- To: Kai Siering All facts you are showing are true, but such a policy was a mistake, and we _must_ not repeat the same mistakes again and again. Today the main focus is on IPV4, but tomorow these talks will be applied on IPV6. Then again LIR-X will say... "Hey why LIR-Z hold /4 IPV6, and pay same fee as LIR-X wich holds only /32 IPV6 ?". In one of previous mails someone gave example with cogent 200M flow from INR (btw such sum is pocket money for one of the biggest T1 carriers, and such huge company), and from 200M do you beleave they can not contribute 1M to the register from wich they earn ? We need clear fair INR distribution rules / policies / charing fees, not related of the time line or resource shortage / previous historical distributions. We need RIPE NCC to be resource distribution arbiter between us, because human nature is to want more and more, to be greedy. RIPE NCC have to start look at its LIRs as to own childrens, whom can not be separated on categories or be disriminated on some signs. This is the only way RIPE NCC to have stable future and guarantee propper budget to operate. Otherwise the RIPE will lose the trust of his own members. That is what I am fighting for, loosing my time, and writing tons of emails here.

Here I agree with Nick ;) Distribution in the past has been needs based (based on existing or projected need). It's done. I dont see how the word "fair" can be vague. When you dont have shortage of the resource it purely means "depend on your needs" (current situation with IPV6, ASN). But when you run on the limit it means equal (IPV4). Let me ask you 3 questions: 1. If you have 3 own hungry childrens and just one apple how will you distribute the apple to them ? 2. If you have 3 own hungry childrens and 1000 apples, but tomorow your apple tree can give you another 1000 apples ? 3. If you have 3 own hungry childrens 1000 apples, but you old apple tree is dead and that food is all you have for undefined period of time until your new not seeded yet apple tree grow and start giving you apples ? When you answer me of these 3 questions you will see and what _MUST_ mean of the word -->fair<-- is for RIPE. And when you find the common point of your answers you will know what RIPE NCC must do. Kaj, you talk so much about lawsuits, but can you give a citate, or point to RIPE policy or agreement, where it is said that allocated from RIPE *INR to the LIRs are not subject of change, not subject of their quantity change, and they are distributed for undefined period of time ? If there are still people or companies which mistake the word "hold" with the word "own" is entirely their problem. Nor RIR, LIR or end user can "own" *INR. They just can hold and operate with given INR for defined period of time (look at the RIPE documents and contracts, then tell me where is used the word "own"). The funny part is that the only way personal or company to be identified as authority of the given resource is the register itself. If the register stop functioning no one will know which *INR you can operate with. So if you screw (lawsuits) the register you are screwing and your own interests. *INR - Internet Number Resources. Any Internet identifiers such as IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) and Autonomous System Numbers. (Citate from RIPE documents) One _OBLIGATION_ of RIPE NCC is to care for *fair* distribution of the resources across the LIRs in the region. And am not saying it is subject of member's wish or vote how the INR have been / are / will be distributed, I am saying it _MUST_ be fundamental rule that RIPE NCC must apply to guarantee its future, and it must not depend on any contractor or requestor wish. ---- About RIPE-639 The policy: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-639/">https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-639/</a> Mr. Xavier Le Bris report from 12.01.2024 (Big thanks for his work and efforts): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://labs.ripe.net/author/xavier/10-years-of-legacy-policy/">https://labs.ripe.net/author/xavier/10-years-of-legacy-policy/</a> I dont see anywhere the RIPE register is _obligated_ to keep legacy resources records for undefined time. I only read the RIPE register is _authoritive_ for these INR. With other words the data for legacy resources are holded in the register by good will. And there is no any obstacle to _NOT_ have deadline to keep doing this (in point 2.6). Also from the report 9% of 12 x /8 IPV4 blocks (nearly full /8 IPV4 block) is with undefined status. Another legacy holders which holds nearly 30% of the INR are out of any contracts or touch. So where is the benefit to keep holding such records ? Will the register be more acurate - NO ! Will the memebers will benefit of unusing nearly /8 - NO ! Are these legacy holders contribute something to the RIPE NCC - NO ! Correct me if I am wrong please. ------ About the claim "Last year base of the members rejected category based charging scheme, we will not offer it again". As I remember offered model B for 2024 also was not supported (rejected) , why it is offer for 2025 again ? When we take a decision what to offer and what not is rely on principle or on personal subjective opinion ? For 2024: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Option_B_-_Price_Increase_10_-_RIPE_NC">https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Option_B_-_Price_Increase_10_-_RIPE_NC</a> C_Charging_Scheme_2024.pdf For 2025: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Option_B_RIPE_NCC_Charging_Scheme_2025">https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Option_B_RIPE_NCC_Charging_Scheme_2025</a> .pdf To note that I and organisations I present are against category based charging schemes which will put the main load over the small to medium resource holders (LIRs), and will favoritize the biggest (what was offered in the last year).

Fair is a very vague yet complicated concept. Here I agree with Nick ;) Distribution in the past has been needs based (based on existing or projected need). It's done. Any real implementation of forcing a "fair re-redistribution" of RIR assigned resources, as you suggest, will lead in lawsuits. Whether it would be 1, 10 or 1000 doesn't matter. The association will not have the financial resources and time to handle those. Probably not the best use of LIR fees, either. I doubt anyone in legal would ever ACK this. Any of the companies holding address space that RIPE-639 refers to might not have an interest, or even be aware of the "benefits" of being a RIPE LIR themselves. Yes, they don't know about RPKI either, usually. Legacy reverse DNS might be enough. Many of these are multinationals in non-tech sectors who have gotten addresses before the RIR system existed. Some of these got addresses around the time classless routing came along from their vendors who themselves had gotten the addresses from IANA just by asking. Some of these do not route the addresses on the internet, some others do, etc. etc. Again, ruining someone's day by "reclaiming" - let's call it what it really is, hijacking - address space that hasn't been RIR assigned will certainly lead to costly lawsuits and claims of damages as above. Don't think a "Pigouvian tax" would work either as the alternative is always for the holder to sell or rent the addresses. I think it'll lead to more consolidation of addresses to the cloud providers. Probably again not what was intended originally. Any added cost would eventually be shifted to the customers one way or another. Apropos that, Cogent is raising a 200M note secured by a bunch of IPv4 addresses and rental cash flows. Addresses have a significant value as collateral just as stable cash flows do. :) Kaj Sent from my iPad ___________________________________________________________________________ _ From: members-discuss <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net"><members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net></a> on behalf of ivaylo <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:ivaylo@bglans.net"><ivaylo@bglans.net></a> Sent: Friday, April 26, 2024 9:26 PM To: Massimiliano Stucchi <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:max@stucchi.ch"><max@stucchi.ch></a> Cc: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:members-discuss@ripe.net">members-discuss@ripe.net</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:members-discuss@ripe.net"><members-discuss@ripe.net></a> Subject: Re: [members-discuss] GM topic Thank you for this example Massimiliano ! It is very good example how bad the resources can be used, and how bad is to have flat fee for all members ! That's why RIPE fee _MUST_ include per resource component. I am currious about technical aspects in the logic, Even if you go with EUI-64 standart for your network infrastructure (nobody do this, because the addresses unprediction) a /29 IPV6 will let you have 34 358 689 800 ( > 34 Bilions segments). With the maximum ttl value of 255 (limited by the one byte in the header, current around the internet is used just 64), You can have 134 739 960 (> 134 millions) router interfaces. With the modern switching asics, you will need and around 144 000 000 000 000 (> 144 trillions) ethernet switches where you can connect up to 18446744073709551616 end hosts per segment. Let me also remind that IPV6 protocol allow to use a single (just one) adress per a system/ruter/host (not per interface as IPV4) implemented in almost all vendors equipment and OS. Yes in theory it is posible to need huge address space, but in theory every one of us (LIRs) have to drawn all ipv6 + ipv4 + ASN from IANA (not from RIPE only) to cover all very unlikely future needs. ----- The problems RIPE NCC and we members have, is not the charging scheme is fair or unfair, the root of the problem is _UNFAIR RESROURCES DISTRIBUTION_ during the years. As everything in the real world internet resources are also finite numbers. So how to spread finite resources to group of members which by presumptions are equal (First and most important RIPE obligation - threat all members equally) ? Logically - equal. If we were 5 members maybe we can handshake each other and have an agreement (not sure ether when we talk about concurent companies / personals), but we are 21k that's why we need clear, transparent and strong rules equal to all. We currently have a strong discrimination based on very vague foundations and rules. I will be very happy somebody from RIPE to explain us, why one member can hold /8 just for fun (or testing or whatever), in the same time other member to have single /24 (or to be in a waiting queues) extreamly dificult to operate its bussiness because lack of resources and both of them to be forced to pay same fee. Which rule in the RIPE founding agreement exactly says this is fair and equal ? Also how many from the RIPE NCC staff and you LIRs, with hand on heart will tell the current situation is moral, normal and fair to all ? In all cases after the posible delegated resources to RIPE have limits we also need limits for the resource each of us can hold and operate with. thing more fair can be than to take all resources in each category (IPV4/IPV6/ASN) which are delegated to RIPENCC and divide by the LIR members number. Solution one: Redistribute resources equaly to all. Not imposible as I already wrote, but will that lead to tremors in the work of operators - very likely. But what is that is equal fees, equal rights, equal resources. Solution two: Start to "penalise" the the LIRs which holds and operate resources over the fair share limits. That will not make disruption of the internet work in the region. And will give time to those who want to optimise the resource usage to do it and save expenses. How to do it ? - With money ofcourse. To prevent adding too much initial stress to all, we have to start with small steps and calibrate the "penalisation" fee with time. As I wrote in my previous mail the current fair shair resources for each LIR member based on what I checked (by IANA documents and 21500 LIRs) are: 1 x /18 IPV4 block 1 x /28 IPV6 block 16 x ASN Everything above these numbers should be "penalise" with a small fee per each resource over the limit. Ofcourse these limits must be shifted if we become 40k members or down to 10k, but it is an easy part. Also "penalty" fee by 10 euro per year for /24, /32, ASN looks prety resonable in the light of current free market prices - 15k "buy" / 100 euro month rent. It is not a category based charging scheme ! It is fair share charging scheme ! Can be looked at like extension of the scheme C, but guarantee much more RIPE NCC sustainable future and covers all LIR resources (not only PI). Current offered option C is inanity, because one LIR can hold /8 PA and none PI space, the other can hold single /24 PA and 10 x /24 PI, and will pay much more than the first one with /8 PA (fair ?) ! Another important theme is RIPE-639. 10 Years after the adoption we still have nearly 34% undiscovered resources. How much more time it needs ? If for 10 years you cant find legacy holders what will be the chance to do it in the next 10 or 100 years ? We need a straight deadline to point 2.6. I think RIPE NCC can safely suspend (not delete) all records for these 34% resources. It is good to put dummy records to point to call or email to RIPE support staff, and these resource to be gobaly announce. If nobody call in few (3) mounths, can be consider free and can be drawn into the pool.
