[sig-dns] ARIN XXI and RIPE 56

[Edward Lewis <Ed.Lewis@neustar.biz>]

ARIN XXI

A bit late on this report.  The meeting was held, wow, three weeks 
ago (time flies!).  The full meeting report is available from this 
web page:
  http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/ARIN_XXI/index.html

No specific DNS topics were covered. ARIN does not have a special 
interest group nor a working group that covers DNS, unlike APNIC and 
RIPE.

There were a few policies regarding the exhaustion of IPv4, the 
results of the discussions can be found on that web site.  In short, 
a revised proposal to distribute 1 /8-worth of addresses to each of 
the operating RIRs (at the time of the run out) received a favorable 
response.  A cooperative approach to the last /8-worth of space was 
not greeted warmly.  And debate raged on the possibility of a 
"market" for address transfers within the ARIN region.

RIPE 56 next week

RIPE 56 meets the first full calendar week of May, preceded by a 
CENTR Technical session for CENTR members.  The agenda for the RIPE 
DNS-WG (spread over two sessions, Wednesday and Thursday) is as given 
on this web page:

Information on remote participation is given on this web page
