Emerging Registry Criteria ASO General Assembly Budapest, 19 May 2000 ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Emerging Registry Criteria APNIC presentation on behalf of APNIC, ARIN and RIPE NCC Background ASO and ASO MoU Emerging Registry document Evaluation criteria Feedback ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE ASO and ASO MoU ASO Proposal submitted by RIRs to ICANN in July 1999 Recognised by ICANN 26 August 1999 ASO MoU signed by current RIRs and ICANN on 18 October 1999 ASO MoU Signatories include ICANN and “RIRs” Designed to accommodate new signatories, which must be approved by ICANN Provides basic requirements for new RIRs ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE ASO MoU (1) Purpose and Scope (c) The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish a set of principles that ICANN and the regional IP address registries (RIRs) who have signed below (the Signing RIRs) will use in forming and operating the ASO. Additional RIRs may join in signing the MOU after they have been approved by ICANN. ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE ASO MoU (9) Regional IP Address Registries The initial signatories to this MOU shall include ICANN and the Signing RIRs who have signed below. ICANN will develop requirements and policies for the approval of additional RIRs. This MOU assumes that these requirements will include at least: (a) … (g) The MOU also assumes that the RIRs have to continue to meet these requirements. ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE ASO MoU (a) broad support of ISPs in its region (b) region meets scale defined by ICANN (c) membership includes a significant percentage of the ISPs within the RIR's region (d) clearly defined procedures open to all interested parties for the development of policies (e) policies include at least one open annual policy development meeting (f) clearly defined procedures for open policy development process (g) capability to implement global policies ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE ASO MoU ICANN request to RIRs to assist with further development of criteria outlined in the MoU November 1999 Drafting process to date via “aso-policy” mailing list Draft 0.1: 22 December 1999 Draft 0.2: 4 May 2000 Draft 0.3: due after input from this meeting ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Emerging Registry Criteria Document is not a set of strict rules RIR intentions... To provide more detailed considerations/guidelines/principles for evaluation To provide assistance to ICANN in making a good decision, based on agreed criteria To assist emerging RIRs in how to present their case not only to ICANN but to the regional and global communities (LACNIC has done this, informally) ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Emerging Registry Criteria Region of coverage Community support Bottom-up self-governance Neutrality and impartiality Technical expertise Adherence to global policies Activity plan Funding model Record keeping Confidentiality ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Region of coverage The proposed RIR must operate internationally in a large geographical region of approximately continental size Under one management in one location “Distributed RIR” not supported Competition between multiple RIRs in one region would threaten conversation goal Distribution may cause confusion, fragmentation ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Community support Clear consensus must be demonstrated within the community that a very substantial majority of the ISPs in the region are prepared to support the new RIR. Community should show commitment through participation and financial support RIR must demonstrate efforts to contact existing LIRs/ISPs to ensure support Eventually, the entire region should be served by the new RIR... ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Bottom-up self-governance The new RIR needs ... defined procedures for the development of resource management policies which may be implemented regionally, [or] as global policies Procedures must be open and transparent Must include holding at least one annual [open] policy development meeting Must be capable of hosting ASO GA [in line with MoU requirements] ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Neutrality and impartiality All organisations that receive service from the new RIR must be treated equally. The policies and guidelines proposed and implemented by the RIR need to ensure fair distribution of resources, and impartial treatment of the members/requestors. The new RIR should be established as an independent, not-for-profit and open membership association. ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Technical expertise The new RIR must be technically capable of providing the required allocation and registration services to the community in its region. Requirements include: Internet connectivity, DNS servers, internal infrastructure, sufficient technicallycapable staff ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Adherence to global policies Policies of the new RIR must be established to ensure that the main goals of the registry system, in particular conservation of IP address space and aggregation of routing information, are respected. Local policies that are developed in addition to established global policies need to be consistent with these and other global policy goals ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Activity plan … the new RIR should provide a published activity plan containing activities that are clearly within the purview of an RIR, and which is explicitly supported by the community of organisations supporting the new RIR. It is recommended that new RIRs should not restrict activities exclusively to IP address allocations and assignments (registration services). ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Funding model … the new RIR should be established as a not-for-profit association A budget related to the activity plan must be drawn up and published, and should [be approved by] the community of organisations supporting the new RIR ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Record keeping All RIRs must maintain proper records of all registry activities, including the archiving of all information collected from LIRs in the process of making IP address space assignments needed for internal purposes, and also to maintain the audibility of RIR operations, essential in demonstrating responsible and neutral operations All archival information should be kept in English ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Confidentiality Information collected by a RIR in the registration process must be kept in strict confidence, and used for registration purposes only It must be transmitted only to another RIR or IANA upon request, but will not be transmitted to any other party unless explicitly agreed RIRs may establish their own local standards and policies for confidentiality ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Draft 0.2 Minor drafting changes only ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Draft 0.3 - Due shortly Remaining issues “Europe and Middle-East” region RIR branch offices Simply state that admin structure must not cause competition or fragmentation Language of RIR archives Proposal to maintain registration records in English, but internal archives in original language Any issues identified during this meeting ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE Emerging Registry Criteria Feedback?
