The '''Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre''' ('''RIPE NCC''') is the [[RIR]] for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. The main focus of the RIPE NCC is the allocation of Internet number resources and the maintenance of a registry of all allocated Internet number resources in its service region.<ref>[http://www.ripe.net/ ripe.net]</ref>

==History==
==History==
RIPE NCC was established on September 16th, 1990, to deal with administrative tasks for RIPE, although it was not formally established and recognized until 1992. RIPE NCC did not become a separate legal entity until 1998. Although the two organizations are legally independent today, they remain highly interdependent. RIPE NCC supports RIPE by facilitating RIPE meetings and providing support for RIPE working groups. RIPE NCC maintains the RIPE database, a public database containing registration details of the IP addresses and AS numbers originally allocated to members by the RIPE NCC.<ref>[http://www.ripe.net/ripe/about/the-history-of-ripe RIPE History]</ref>

In November 2011, the RIPE NCC received a temporary order from Dutch police that prevented any changes from being made to a registration of four specific blocks of [[IPv4]] address space in the RIPE Registry. The injunction was ordered the 8 November and was in effect through 22 March 2012.<ref>[http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe-ncc-blocks-registration-in-ripe-registry-following-order-from-dutch-police NCC Blocks Registration, ripe.net]</ref> In return, the organization intended to settle the matter further in Dutch court.

On September 14, 2012, the RIPE NCC distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space that it had available. As a result, the RIPE NCC is now distributing IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8 according to section 5.6 of "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120914_ripe_ncc_distributed_last_ipv4_address_space_from_available_pool/ RIPE NCC Distributed Last IPv4 Address Space From Available Pool, CircleID.com]</ref>

The Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is the RIR for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. The main focus of the RIPE NCC is the allocation of Internet number resources and the maintenance of a registry of all allocated Internet number resources in its service region.[1]

The organization's most important tasks include:

  • Distribution and registration of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and Autonomous System (AS) Numbers
  • Operating the RIPE Database
  • Operating the K-root server cluster, one of the world’s 13 root name servers
  • Facilitating RIPE community activities
  • Developing the RIPE Atlas network
  • Providing high-quality measurement information services[2]

The RIPE NCC is not to be confused with RIPE, a related but independent collaborative forum.

History[edit | edit source]

The RIPE NCC was established on 16 September 1990 to deal with administrative tasks for RIPE, although it was not formally established and recognized until 1992. The RIPE NCC did not become a separate legal entity until 1998. Although the two organizations are legally independent today, they remain highly interdependent. The RIPE NCC supports RIPE by facilitating RIPE Meetings and providing support for RIPE Working Groups. The RIPE NCC maintains the RIPE Database, a public database containing registration details of the IP addresses and AS Numbers originally allocated to members by the RIPE NCC.[3]

In November 2011, the RIPE NCC received a temporary order from Dutch police that prevented any changes from being made to a registration of four specific blocks of IPv4 address space in the RIPE Registry. The injunction was ordered the 8 November and was in effect through 22 March 2012.[4] In return, the organization intended to settle the matter further in Dutch court. It did not withdraw, remove, or reclaim the address blocks but temporary locked registration for them.[5] In January 2012, the locks were removed under the RIPE community's opinion that legal grounding to execute the order was insufficient.[6]

On September 14, 2012, the RIPE NCC distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space that it had available. As a result, the RIPE NCC is now distributing IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8 according to section 5.6 of "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”.[7]

RIPE NCC Structure[edit | edit source]

The RIPE NCC is made up of its members, an Executive Board, and its staff, led by a management team.

Membership[edit | edit source]

Organizations and individuals must be registered as members of an RIR in order to request provider-aggregatable (PA) IP addresses and AS Numbers, or when they plan to assign them to End Users or customers. Those who wish to request a small amount of provider-independent (PI) IP addresses and AS Numbers for personal use may do so via the Request of Independent Resources process.[8] Most of the RIPE NCC’s members are ISPs and telecommunications organizations, but other members include corporations, academic institutions and government bodies. At the end of 2014, the RIPE NCC had 11,115 members in 76 countries.

RIPE NCC membership is not required to attend RIPE Meetings, to take part in the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), or use some RIPE NCC services. Membership is required, however, to request IPv4 and IPv6 address space, AS Numbers and related services, to attend the RIPE NCC General Meetings, to provide feedback on the RIPE NCC Activity Plan, to accept the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme or Financial Report, and to vote candidates onto the RIPE NCC Executive Board. Member benefits include the ability to attend RIPE NCC Training Courses, the use of an LIR Portal account to manage registry data and make Internet number requests, and the receipt of two free tickets to RIPE Meetings.[8]

There is a sign-up fee for joining the RIPE NCC, after which members must pay an annual fee.[9]

The Executive Board[edit | edit source]

The Executive Board, which consists of seven people, is elected by the members of the RIPE NCC. Their duties are to represent the membership and provide guidance to the RIPE NCC's senior management team, approve the RIPE NCC's Activity Plan and Budget, appoint the RIPE NCC management, and call General Meetings. They are responsible for the overall financial position of the organization and are to keep up-to-date records of the RIPE NCC's financial situation. The Executive Board delegates all operational decisions relating to the standard service agreements to the management staff.[10]
