  RIPE | Document Store | ripe-412 IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy
Regional Internet Registries are established and authorised by respective regional communities and recognised by the IANA to serve and represent large geographical regions.
Internet address space must be registered in a registry database accessible to appropriate members of the Internet community.
In cases where regional variations from the policy are deemed necessary, the preferred approach is to raise the issue in the other regional registries in order to develop a consensus approach that all registries can support.

  Regional Internet Registry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is an organisation overseeing the allocation and registration of Internet number resources within a particular region of the world.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) delegates Internet resources to the RIRs, and in turn, the RIRs follow their regional policies for further sub-delegation of resources to their customers, which include Internet Service Providers and end-user organizations.
Collectively, the RIRs participate in the Number Resource Organization (NRO) [6] formed as a body to represent their collective interests, undertake joint activities, and coordinate RIR activities globally.

 About the NRO - The Internet Registry System
With explosive Internet growth in the early 1990s, the U.S. Government and the NSF decided that network support for the commercial Internet should be separated from the U.S. Department of Defense.
The primary function of each RIR is to ensure the fair distribution and responsible management of IP addresses and the related numeric resources that are required for the stable and reliable operation of the Internet.
The global Internet governance landscape began to undergo radical changes in mid-1998, with the publication of a U.S. Government white paper outlining the formation of a "not-for-profit corporation formed by private sector Internet stakeholders to administer policy for the Internet name and address system." ICANN was formed later that year.

The registry is where registrants or registrars go for new or modify domain name requests.
Every TLD registry - generic or country code - has its own prices, policies, and procedures that registrants (name holders) in that registry are subject to.
Most registries require a process by which permission from the old owner to hand over control to the new owner is authorized.

 Regional Internet Registry Joint Statement on ICANN Evolution and Reform
The RIRs have concluded that in the interests of enhanced stability and efficiency, the responsibility for this particular IANA operational function (maintaining the IANA Address Registry) should be passed to the RIRs.
Furthermore, the RIRs propose that ICANN's role in this area is that of oversight of the ASO process, ensuring that the RIRs and the ASO adhere to their stated procedures in the undertaking of this function.
The RIRs view with considerable concern the manner in which ICANN has assumed a critical role in the operation of certain aspects of the address management function, and at the same time, allowed itself to become deeply enmeshed in the complex issues of domain name management to the effective exclusion of all other roles.

 The Regional Internet Registry Structure - ISOC Member Briefing #21
The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are responsible, within their assigned regions, for allocating Internet number resources such as globally unique IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) and autonomous system numbers.
The purpose of the NRO is to ensure global coherence of certain RIR activities, and to provide a single common interface to all the RIRs where this is necessary.
T he RIR framework provides an open, transparent, and documented process for developing number resource policy that is in step with the needs of the RIR communities.

 rfc3330
Introduction Throughout its entire history, the Internet has employed a central Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) responsible for the allocation and assignment of various identifiers needed for the operation of the Internet [RFC1174].
These Regional Internet Registries are responsible for the assignment of IPv4 addresses to operators and users of the Internet within their regions.
However, the Internet does not inherently protect against abuse of these addresses; if you expect (for instance) that all packets from the 10.0.0.0/8 block originate within your subnet, all border routers should filter such packets that originate from elsewhere.

 Regional Internet Registry Joint Statement on ICANN Evolution and Reform
The RIRs seek from the outcome of the ICANN evolution and reform process a body capable of operating in a stable fashion with consistency and openness in the manner in which it undertakes its responsibilities.
The RIRs are not necessarily committed to a model of ICANN as a single body with responsibilities in the areas of domain names, Root DNS Server operations, Internet addresses, Internet protocol numbers.
The RIRs believe that within the area of address management there is a valid role for a lightweight external review body with respect to global RIR policies, as part of an overall RIR requirement for check, balance and review in the global RIR policy determination process.

 The Regional Internet Registry Policy Development Process - ISOC Member Briefing #10
The Registries make concerted efforts to build consensus within the framework of the policy at hand and to ensure that policies are applied fairly and consistently, including those that are in common with other regions.
In summary, the RIR framework provides an open, transparent, and documented process for developing number resource policy that is in step with the needs of the RIRs’ constituencies.
This RFC was co-written by the RIRs and the IANA, and is the basis for all IP management and allocation policies for each of the Registries.

ICANN, the international domain name registration organisation, has acknowledged the African regional Internet registry as it prepares for its annual meeting to be held in Cape Town.
The California-based organisation, much criticised for its dominant role in doling out Internet addresses, held a week-long conference in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur last week, where a number of issues were debated by the 700 delegates from around the world.
ICANN is an internationally organised, public benefit non-profit body responsible for coordinating the ICANN functions, which include Internet Protocol address space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic and country code top-level domain name system management, and root server system management functions.

Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (under the current version 4) are 32-bit numbers usually expressed as 4 octets in dotted decimal notation (for example, 128.223.162.27, which is the IP address for the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) web server at the time of this writing).
Local Internet Registries, which are typically ISPs or collections of ISPs represented at a country level, and large ISPs process the vast majority of address space assignments to ISPs and end users Contact the Internet service provider from whom you are getting your connectivity services (your upstream provider) with an address allocation request.
Currently, there are three Regional IRs: ARIN for the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa; RIPE NCC for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East; and APNIC for the Asia Pacific region.

ISPs obtain allocations of IP addresses from a local Internet registry (LIR) or national Internet registry (NIR), or from their appropriate Regional Internet Registry (RIR).
The regional organisations manage blocks of numbers allocated on a regional basis.
As a result of this cascading system of responsibility is it theoretically possible to identify the regional and even local physical location of the user of an Internet address.

 FAQs
After the resource has been transferred to the receiving RIR and you have registered details to gain access to the resource management process, you can change any part of the resource registration record, including maintainers, contact or in-addr.arpa nameserver information.
Although you may be required to establish a new relationship with another Regional Internet Registry, there are significant benefits.
If you retain any resources in the ARIN region, you may keep ARIN nic-handles and data in ARIN Database, but in the relocation of data management from ARIN to RIPE NCC and APNIC, it is necessary to have a new nic-handle generated to avoid clashes with existing records and to conform to any regional requirements.
