2. NRO NC: Report from the ICP-2 BoF Hervé Clément, Andrei Robachevsky and Constanze Bürger, NRO NC

View the presentation archive

The NRO NC representatives shared an update on their efforts to gain input on the draft "RIR Governance Document" intended to update ICP-2. They shared key takeaways from the BoF session on Monday, hallway conversations and their presentation during the Address Policy Working Group session. RIPE community feedback focused on the issues on unanimity in decision-making, the assumption of good faith by all parties, whether there needs to be a core set of features common to all registries, the importance of business continuity and some bigger picture comments on the role of RIRs in the Internet ecosystem.

Remco van Mook thanked the NRO NC for their work. He pointed out that this work takes place in the context of an existing system. He expressed concerns with the writing of the document, particularly fiduciary duties and consensus between RIRs. It is very important that the Boards of the respective RIRs will be able to sign off on this document in line with their fiduciary duties once it is complete.

Lu Heng, Larus Limited, made a comment on number portability and the recognition of member rights. He stated that his law firm has begun a potential anti-trust investigation that the RIPE NCC could get out of simply by recognising IP ownership rights officially policy documents, corporate documents and in ICP-2. The current model is dangerous and unprepared for absolute ownership as the databases have over 200 billion dollars in market value. He urged the ASO AC to take a serious view and look at the governance changes for the 25 years ahead. He said that he would write to the RIPE list about the anti-trust matters.

Tobias Fiebig reminded the room that this discussion about the value in the database stems from an artificial shortage of IPv4 resources which could be alleviated by migrating to IPv6. He stated that anyone acting in good faith would ask for an IPv4 flag day and not for any other approach to solve this problem.
