Subject: [itar-announce] End of Life Notice for ITAR
Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 12:18:55 -0700
From: Kim Davies <kim.davies(a)icann.org>
To: itar-announce(a)icann.org <itar-announce(a)icann.org>
Dear colleagues,
The Interim Trust Anchor Repository is now being retired from service.
Starting
today, no new listings will be accepted by the service. Later this month,
existing listings will be removed; with the entire service turned off
early next
year.
*** If you are using the ITAR service, please discontinue using it as
soon ***
*** as possible. We recommend you transition to using the signed DNS
root ***
*** zone.
***
Since the beginning of 2009, ICANN has operated a service known as the
Interim
Trust Anchor Repository (ITAR). This allowed top-level domain operators
who use
DNSSEC to publish their trust anchor in absence of a signed DNS root
zone. On
15 July 2010, the DNS root zone was signed, and in the following months TLD
operators have transitioned to using it. With the last remaining TLDs
transitioning to the signed root zone, the ITAR is no longer required.
The service was a successful bottom-up collaboration with the Internet
community.
ICANN was asked to operate the service to help DNSSEC adoption during
its initial
phases. During its lifetime, the ITAR supported over a hundred listing
requests
for dozens of top-level domains that were early adopters of DNSSEC. The
operational experience ICANN gained in operating ITAR also helped inform the
roll-out of the signed DNS root zone.
The expected date for existing listings to be removed is 18 November
2010, with
the service fully retired in January 2011. These dates are subject to
adjustment
based on operational requirements or community feedback.
With kindest regards,
Kim Davies
Manager, Root Zone Services
ICANN

Hi NZNOG Community,
We have just launched APNIC 2011 Stakeholder Survey, an important
feedback mechanism that will be used to guide APNIC secretariat's
operational plan in 2011-2012.
Please note that you do not have to be an APNIC member to complete
this survey. Just select 'No' in the first question: Are you an APNIC
Account holder?
There is a prize draw for an iPad if survey is completed by 9 November.
Kind regards,

Member and Stakeholder Survey 2010 - We need your feedback!
_______________________________________________________________________
On behalf of the APNIC Executive Council, the Asia Pacific Network
Information Centre (APNIC) is commissioning a Member and Stakeholder
survey, to assess the Secretariat's performance during 2010. The survey
is conducted every two years. The results of this survey will form the
basis of the APNIC operational plan for 2011-2012.
APNIC is a not-for-profit organization responsible for distributing and
registering Internet resources, such as IP addresses, throughout the
Asia Pacific region.
You may have encountered APNIC in the region through our:
- Training and liaison activities with local ISPs and governments
- Participation in regional forums for Internet Governance
- Media coverage on issues relevant to the Internet community such
as IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 deployment
An independent consultant, Professor Ang Peng Hwa, Director of the
Singapore Internet Research Center, will conduct the survey and analyse
the findings using a completely neutral process guaranteeing the highest
quality result.
The survey is designed so that you only need to complete the sections
that are relevant to your experience with APNIC.
Early Birds who complete the survey before 24:00 (UTC +10) on 9 November
2010, will be entered to win an Apple iPad!
Participation in the Stakeholder Survey is completely anonymous.
The survey is open from 2 November 2010 - 21 November 2010 until
24:00 (UTC +10).

KSK CEREMONY 3
The third KSK ceremony for the root zone took place in Culpeper,
VA, USA on Monday 2010-11-01. The Ceremony Administrator was Mehmet
Akcin. The ceremony was completed successfully.
Video from Ceremony 3 was recorded for audit purposes. Video and
associated audit materials will be published in 1 to 2 weeks, and
will be available as usual by following the "KSK Ceremony Materials"
link at <https://www.iana.org/dnssec/>.
Ceremony 3 included processing of a Key Signing Request (KSR)
generated by VeriSign, and the resulting Signed Key Response (SKR)
contained signatures for Q1 2011, for use in the root zone between
2011-01-01 and 2011-02-28.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We'd like to hear from you. If you have feedback for us, please
send it to rootsign(a)icann.org.
Hi NZNOG Community,
I realize that Andy Linton sent this to the list a couple of weeks ago.
However please note that 36/8 and 42/8 have now been added as
newly allocated address blocks managed, by APNIC.
Kind regards,
Elly
APNIC
_______________________________________________________________________
Filtering Previously Unallocated Addresses
_______________________________________________________________________
APNIC recognizes that as the IANA pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses
nears exhaustion, there may be increasing community concern about the
quality of the new address blocks made available for distribution.
It is important that you ensure your router Access Control Lists (ACLs)
are updated so addresses are not mistakenly filtered through your
routers. It may also be time to consider whether you should stop any
form of BOGON filtering.
This is especially important for newly allocated address blocks:
* 1.0.0.0/8
* 14.0.0.0/8
* 27.0.0.0/8
* 36.0.0.0/8
* 42.0.0.0/8
* 49.0.0.0/8
* 101.0.0.0/8
* 223.0.0.0/8
Keep informed about IANA allocations at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
For those with recently allocated address space here are several tips
to check whether your IP Addresses are filtered:
* Your own firewall might be blocking the new IP addresses by
default, if you set up your servers to block bogon IP ranges. To
avoid blocking potential new customers, consider whether you
should stop any form of BOGON filtering.
* Run a traceroute to see if the new IP is consistently blocked
along the same network path. It is advisable also, to test
forward and reverse paths. Use of technology like the Routing
Information Service (RIS) is highly recommended to assist in
identifying routing conditions for prefixes under test.
http://www.ripe.net/projects/ris/index.html
* Do a search on your IP address and contact those organizations
that appear to be blocking you. You may be blocked due to
activity of one of your customers.
http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check
* Use a looking glass service as part of the diagnostic tool, set
to detect network filters.
http://www.ris.ripe.net/cgi-bin/lg/index.cgi
Ongoing testing
---------------
As part of our service commitment to our Members and the wider
community, APNIC is working hard to evaluate the usability of address
space allocated to APNIC before it is distributed.

results, visit:

     NZNOG 2011 - Call for Participation and Papers
The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be
held in Wellington, New Zealand between 26 January and 28 January 2011. Our
host is Vodafone New Zealand.
NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical
information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and
support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand.
The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the
aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from
New Zealand Internet orientated companies.
Conference Overview
-------------------
NZNOG 2011 will consist of up to three days of workshops and tutorials followed
by two days of conference presentations. Â There will also be opportunity for
more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five
minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference.
Important Dates
---------------
Call for Papers opens:       1 November  2010
Deadline for speaker submissions:  1 December  2010
Responses to speaker submissions:  7 December  2010
Draft program published:      15 December  2010
Final program published:      15 January  2011
NZNOG 2011 Conference:    26 - 29 January  2011
SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials / Workshops
--------------------------------------
In previous years we have had a single day of workshops and tutorials,
this year however we are looking at having up to three days of workshops
and tutorials, if we can get the submissions.
Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access
networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet
Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators
mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for
system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'.
Conference Presentations
------------------------
The main conference program for 2011 will be made up of two days with a
single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular
fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length.
NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational spectrum,
and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for
virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community.
Past years' talks have included the following:
- Internet exchange operations
- Global anycast networks and the building thereof
- Peering, peering, and peering
- Network security
- 10GB ethernet operations
- How to build a router in these tough and difficult economic times
- Current Internet research in NZ
- Wireless networking
- QOS over carrier networks
- Content distribution networks and media streaming
- Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments
- Lawful Interception
- Designing networks for High Availability
- ISP scenarios for IPv6 deployment
- Monkeying around on the APE
Some ideas for this year also include the following:
- IPv6, been there done that
- DNS Security
- Routing Security
- Review of 2010
- IPSec
- Internet Filtering
- How Cloud Computing has impacted Network Design
If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions
at then end of this document and submit them to http://submission.nznog.org
Alternatively, you can and email them to talks(a)nznog.org
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
When considering a presentation or SIG, remember that the NZNOG audience
is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide
range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is
a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in the SIGs
and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and
network operators in the conference sessions.
The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals
is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your
proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted.
Final slides are to be provided by 15 January 2011.
Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 15
December 2010,
a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are
exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance.
The NZNOG conference is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial
content is NOT allowed within the program. The program committee is charged
with maintaining the technical standard of NZNOG conferences, and will
therefore not accept inappropriate materials. Â It is expected that the
presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The
audience is extremely technical and unforgiving, and expects that the speakers
are themselves very knowledgeable. Â All sessions provide time for questions,
so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver
insightful and technically deep responses.
Funding and Support
-------------------
NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the
cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the
travel costs of speakers. Â There is a limited amount of funding available to
international speakers.
Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day
they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may
be available but are not automatic.
Lightning talks
---------------
Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10
minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or
perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a
full talk. At NZNOG 2011 it is planned that there will be at least one
hour long lightning talk session.
Sponsors
--------
There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various
aspects of the NZNOG meeting.
Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information

KSK CEREMONY 3
The third KSK ceremony for the root zone will take place in Culpeper,
VA, USA on Monday 2010-11-01. The ceremony is scheduled to begin
at 1300 local time (1700 UTC) and is expected to end by 1900 local
time (2300 UTC).
Video from Ceremony 3 will be recorded for audit purposes. Video
and associated audit materials will be published 1 to 2 weeks after
the ceremony, and will be available as usual by following the "KSK
Ceremony Materials" link at <https://www.iana.org/dnssec/>.
ICANN will operate a separate camera whose video will not be retained
for audit purposes, but which will instead be streamed live in order
to provide remote observers an opportunity to watch the ceremony.
The live stream will be provided on a best-effort basis. The live
video stream will be available at <http://dns.icann.org/ksk/stream/>.
Ceremony 3 will include processing of a Key Signing Request (KSR)
generated by VeriSign, and the resulting Signed Key Response (SKR)
will contain signatures for Q1 2011, for use in the root zone between
2011-01-01 and 2011-02-28.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We'd like to hear from you. If you have feedback for us, please
send it to rootsign(a)icann.org.
Dear Colleague,
This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are
designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing
registry database.
These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers
(http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded
in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a
period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an
exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and
consequently a full set of routes.
