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Issues Data accuracy – Out of date point of contact information – Some data superseded by newer RIR information – Missing /phone information Mostly manual process – Formletters, Procedures – Data conversion incurs manual overhead (checking)

Activities 1Document technical procedures (done) Joint-RIR-mtg Toronto Nanog, June 2Identify resources for transfer ASN (done) Ipv4 (done) 3Select /8 blocks for initial deployment In progress (ARIN, APNIC) 4Perform transfer /8 at a time ● In planning 5Structure 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 JuneERX project spec Toronto AugASN relocation – Precursor project: APNIC DNS procedures cutover to whois v3 – Aug 20 whois v3 deployment – Identify initial /8, list of /8 – Update website 4 Q 2002 – First /8 move planned
