Early Registration Transfer Project
Status Update
Outline
• Goals/Issues
• Activities
– ASN
– IPv4
• Timeline
Goals
• Transfer whois data to appropriate RIR
• Improve member services
– No loss of data
– Preserve information
– ‘Regionalize’ presentation of data
– Improve processes, protection
• RIR goal
– Shared Reverse DNS processes for Ipv4
Issues
•
Data accuracy
–
–
–
•
Out of date point of contact information
Some data superseded by newer RIR
information
Missing email/phone information
Mostly manual process
–
–
Formletters, Procedures
Data conversion incurs manual overhead
(checking)
Activities
1
Document technical procedures (done)
•
2
Identify resources for transfer
•
•
3
ASN (done)
Ipv4 (done)
Select /8 blocks for initial deployment
•
4
In progress (ARIN, APNIC)
Perform transfer /8 at a time
●

Joint-RIR-mtg Toronto Nanog, June
In planning
Structure project
●
Sanjaya is APNIC contact
ASN Activities
• ASN identified
– 100 objects, people
• Letters to ASN holder sent
• Whois objects created
– Hm/tech joint activity
– Manual processes
• Exposed some issues
–
–
Maintainer format
Handover of 'ownership'
IPv4 Activities
• Initial list of target /8
– Iniitially 2 entire /8 move to APNIC
– (some JP /8 remain with ARIN, DNS for
/8 still requires ARIN to manage in-addr)
• Need to select first /8 and subsequent
order for partial zone transfers
– Number of discrete allocations in /8 will
influence order
IPv4 Activities cont
• Better person/maintainer procedures
– Simpler name/nic-hdl generation process
– Identify problems for manual processing
• Improve member & community
communications
• DNS implications
– Domain object creation
– ‘preserve current DNS state’
IPv4 issues cont #2
• Documentation review
• Update website(s) with list of networks
being moved & dates
• Bed in shared DNS processes
– Work in progress
Timeline
• June
• Aug

procedures cutover to whois v3
–Aug 20 whois v3 deployment
–Identify initial /8, list of /8
