On the IPv4 allocation
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 4, 2011

Feb. 4, 2011

Dear all, The message below is forwarded to you on behalf of Leo Vegoda from IANA: === Dear ccNSO Council, We are writing to you to provide you information about the full allocation of the unicast IPv4 address space. As you know, IP address policy is developed in a bottom-up fashion, through the RIR communities. When ICANN's IANA Department needs to perform an action, a single policy is developed and ratified by ICANN's Board of Directors. These policies are termed Global Policies. The RIR communities followed this process during 2008 and 2009 to develop such a policy for the allocation of the last unicast IPv4 blocks to the RIRs: the Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space. The ICANN Board of Directors ratified the policy on 6 March 2009. A background report on the policy development process was published on the ICANN web site at: € http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-05feb09-en.htm A summary of the ICANN Board of Director's action can be seen on ICANN's Community wiki at: €https://community.icann.org/display/ctap/2009-03-06+-+Global+Policy+Propos al+Regarding+IPv4+Address+Space The actual policy is published on the ICANN web site at: € http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-remaining-ipv4-space.htm The policy is triggered when just five IPv4 /8s remain unallocated. On 18 January 2011, ICANN received a request from APNIC and after verifying that it met the requirements set out in the Policy For Allocation of IPv4 Blocks to Regional Internet Registries, which was also developed through the RIRs' bottom-up process and can be found on the ICANN web site at: € http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-IPv4-rirs.html ICANN staff allocated two /8s to APNIC. This triggered the implementation of the Exhaustion Phase set out in the Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space, which occurred yesterday. As a result of the implementation of this policy, each RIR has received a single /8 and there are no more unallocated IPv4 unicast /8s. The current status of the IPv4 address space can be seen in the IANA IPv4 Address Space Registry at: €http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtl If you have any questions about this then please let us know. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda

Lies - Re: Have you ever seen this post including statements from you & me
by Dr Paulos Nyirenda Feb. 2, 2011

Feb. 2, 2011

Vika, all, This is a sad story becuase it is a lie on me. It is from people that I have never met, they never interviewed me and none of the quotations come from me. I know that I am very opnionated about the ccNSO but the views attributed to me in this article did not come from me. It is gratifying to note that others dignify and value my activities and those of my .mw ccTLD in the ccNSO as well as among ccTLDs, but it is equally important to come to me to get our honest views and opinion, if needed, for such articles. We at the .mw ccTLD have never approached GlobalDNA and we have never considered joing GlobalDNA. We welcome anyone who has anything of value to offer to approach us directly. One thing seems clear for sure, people see value in what AFTLD does, let us keep it up.

FW: The US Commerce Dept position paper

Forwarded on behalf of Ron Sherwood. --------------------------------------- Quoted from the At-Large list [A]s indicated before, I perceive the planned ICANN Board – GAC meeting end of February in Brussels with some unease (reminding me to some unpleasant situations during the WSIS process ;-) Milton’s blog post on IGP supports my bad feelings – see: The US Commerce Dept position paper for the ICANN Board negotiations http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2011/1/29/4737705.html And some more: US wants veto power over new TLDs http://domainincite.com/us-wants-veto-power-over-new-tlds/ There is an old African proverb saying: “Where elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers” (let’s see who will be in the grass ;-) ------ End of Forwarded Message
