of the DNS.

Apologies for mail loop

Hi All

Apologies for the duplicate messages a few of you received - we had a problem
with the lists server, and it managed to get a bit upset.

UKNOF17: Edinburgh 7th Sep - Registration, Accommodation information

It gives me particular pleasure to be able to announce UKNOF17, which
will be taking place in Edinburgh, the city I grew up in, and is our
first UKNOF meeting outside of England :-)

Informatics Forum at the University of Edinburgh:

We are still at this point looking for speakers and presentations, if
you would like to submit or suggest something suitable, please contact
<pc@...> ASAP.

At this point we have one sponsor confirmed, and another provisional,
but would still be interested in further sponsorship, potentially
including for social event(s) before/after the meeting - please contact
me if interested.

Note that the meeting is only a few days after the Edinburgh
International Festival, so accommodation is expected to be at a premium.

Re: Four recent IPv4 /8 allocations - please update your filters

I came across this (old) article about how some of the unallocated
blocks are unuseable due to pollution, sorry if you've already seen it.

http://labs.ripe.net/Members/franz/content-pollution-18

would be interested to know if the situation's improved since 1/8 was
debogonised.

There was a presentation by George Michaelson of APNIC (the /8 is used 
by APNIC who are now doing most of the studies) at the IEPG attached to 
the IETF this week:

http://www.iepg.org/2010-07-ietf78/index.html

These are similar to things presented at the previous RIPE meeting.

Unfortunately it doesn't plot the effort of any de-bogonising efforts 
over time, but the situation with 1/8 is slightly different as it is 
used in various places, rather than just blocked as a "bogon."  The 
current status is that the worst few /16s within the /8 are held back 
from allocation, but other addresses are being assigned.  For those the 
debogonising efforts are likely to be the same as most other /8s 
assigned to an RIR.

Cheers,
Rob
