Process for Working Group Membership
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 4, 2011

Feb. 4, 2011

Dear Councillors, During the ccNSO Council call yesterday, it was suggested by the ccNSO Secretariat to change the process in which new Working Group members are accepted. The current process is that all working group members need to be approved by the Council. As we quite often receive requests for working group membership outside of the call for volunteers period, we suggested, in order to speed up the process, that we only require the approval of the Working Group Chair, and then inform the Council on who has been added. It was, however, pointed out during yesterday’s discussion that in some cases “controversial people” might be able to obtain a working group seat if the process gets outside of the Council’s control and that that the changed procedures in general could be abused by people who were not approved by the Council in the first place. As this probably only would happen in very rare cases, it would be desirable that the Council comes up with a solution which would suit both the wish for a smoother and faster process, but would not leave the Council out of total control. A solution could be to introduce a right for the Council to “veto” a Working Group Chair decision. However, I would welcome more thoughts and suggestions on this. This topic will also be discussed during the upcoming Council call on the 1st March. Kind regards, Gabi

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
