2 October 2017 - AFRINIC is calling for comments on a revision to the Registration Service Agreement (RSA). The draft revised RSA may be found here.
This revision to the RSA is necessary to allow transfers in accordance with the recently-approved policy AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT03 “IPv4 Resources transfer within the AFRINIC Region”.
A few additional changes for clarity and consistency are also incorporated into the draft revised RSA In the document here, deletions are marked with strikeout and additions are marked with underline. Colours are used to mark different kind of changes, as follows:
Comments are welcome in the community-discuss mailing list until 30 October 2017.
Le Number Resource Organization (NRO) a développé une proposition pour l'identification et la définition des risques de l'ITH en réponse à une initiative en cours de l'ICANN. Chaque registre Internet régional (RIR) est chargé de s'assurer de l'exactitude des données de son registre. Ceci est essentiel à la fiabilité des bases de données Whois des RIR qui permettent l'accès aux données publiques du Registre. Pour la mesure de l'état des données, la précision a été définie comme « complète, correcte et actuelle ». Les groupes de coordination des services d'enregistrement (RSCG) et de l'ingénierie (ECG) ont élaboré des recommandations sur la façon dont les RIR peuvent identifier et mesurer les risques associés à l'exactitude des données du registre.
Nous recherchons maintenant des commentaires sur la proposition de projet NRO ITHI, en particulier sur la définition des risques et sur des mesures à rapporter sur l'exactitude des données du registre.
Projet de proposition: Proposition d'identification et de définition des risques de l'ITH.

11 October 2017 - The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has developed a proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition in response to an ongoing ICANN initiative.
Each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of its registry data. This is critical to the reliability of the RIR Whois databases which provide access to the public data of the Registry. For the purposes of measuring the state of the data, accuracy has been defined as “comprehensive, correct, and current”. The Registration Services coordination (RSCG) and Engineering coordination groups (ECG) have developed recommendations for how the RIRs can identify and measure risk associated with registry data accuracy.
We are now seeking feedback on the NRO ITHI project proposal, specifically on the definition of the risks and measurements to report on registry data accuracy.
Draft Proposal: Proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition. The deadline for providing feedback: Tuesday December 12th 2017
