1. Internet Number Resource Governance ARIN & LACNIC

2. Outline RIR System RIR Services Policy Development Process IPv4 Depletion ARIN & LACNIC Working Together for You

3. RIR System The Regional Internet Registry (RIR) System began in 1992 There are five RIRs today The RIRs coordinate closely with the IANA The RIRs are not-for-profit organizations

4. The Regions

5. RIR Structure Not-For-Profit Membership Organization Community Regulated Fee for services, not number resources Open Community developed policies 100% community fundedBroad based Member-elected executive boards Registration services Organization services PDP Services Public sector Private sector Civil society Open and transparent

6. Registration Services Coordination & management of Internet number resources Internet number resource transfers

7. Registration Services Directory Services –Record maintenance –Registration transaction information (WHOIS) –Routing information (Internet Routing Registry) Reverse DNS

8. Organization Services Public Policy & Members Meetings Executive Board Elections

9. Organization Services Information publication and dissemination Education & Training

10. Policy Development Services Manage the Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process Maintain e-mail discussion lists Publish policy documents Need DiscussEvaluate Implement Consensus

11. IP Addresses Require Good Stewardship Judicious Management Ensure Fair Distribution to All Prevent Capricious Consumption Technical Requirements –Defined Characteristics Create a Finite Common Resource –Network Topology Realities

12. Policy Development Process ‘BOTTOM UP’ OPEN TRANSPARENT NO Accreditation Inclusive Accessible Community Proposes, Discusses, and Approves Policy Documented, Published & Accessible PDP, Policies, and Procedures

13. Points of Interest ARIN Board of Trustees and LACNIC Board of Directors resolution on IPv4 depletion and migration to IPv6 Policy proposals to change IPv4 distribution policies in all regions

14. IPv4 Depletion The total IPv4 addresses pool add a total aprox 4,300 millions of addresses. This space is regionally divided and administrated into 256 parts also known as /8. Each part is made of by aprox. 16,700,000 addresses.

15. Evolution of the central pool Source : Number Resource Organization – www.nro.net

16. Predictions Based on the current evolution of the IPv4 addresses consumption rate, by the mid 2010 the central pool of version 4 (IPv4) Internet addresses could be completely depleted. Based on the same suppositions, the pool administrated by the RIRs could be depleted in 2011/12.

17. Actions to take Boost the IPv6 deployment –Facilitate policy discussion –Waiver fees –Training and Workshops –Awareness Campaings Recovery of the non used space. –(i.e. ERX – 7 /8s) Analyzing the actions in order to minimize possible negative impacts.

18. Governments –Coordination with the industry –Help promotion –Adopt IPv6 officially in state networking. Private Sector –Upgrade equipment and OS –Deploy IPv6 in their networks –Invest in training What Others are doing

19. The access to IPv6 space is not a problem The challenge is training, promotions and adoption of new technologies. A Couple of Thoughts
