BCP38 needs advertising

Outside of needing more details and examples, BCP38 could use more advertising.

The best option, if they would accept it, is to have all RIRs mention BCP38 as well as require that mention of BCP38 be included in all IP justification requests to customers (so that those who receive netblocks from their ISPs are also aware of it).

For ARIN, at least, having it mentioned in the attestation process wouldn't be a bad idea. At least someone of management would be aware of it.

The only issue is see concerning the RIRs is that they may object to it being out of scope to their duties. However, informing people of something is not requiring implementation of something. On the other hand, we know that there are a great number of networks that don't participate with the community at large and may have no idea about BCP38 and why it is important.

Noted.

    But today's contribution by Eric M. Caroll might end up on the front
page =D.

    I got the domains... Now I just need a few free hours to setup
something useful.

    As always, don't be shy to drop me contribution offlist.

Well,

    http://www.BCP38.info is up.

    Now to make it sexy :frowning:

    Being that my English is barely passable (my French is worst btw)
=D, I won't be able to carry this alone.

    PS:
        Account creation is up and verified...
        I'm gathering reference to other projects and sites (feel free
to send them to me offlist);
        The wiki is/will be fully indexed on major search engines;
        I'm planning to also add reference to documented events to
increase eyeballs on BCP38;
        Nothing is set in stone... from the wiki (maybe another CMS),
the look, the registrar or even the hosting location.

    Hopefully this can become usefull =D

I'm workin' on it.

Being that my English is barely passable (my French is worst btw)
=D, I won't be able to carry this alone.

Well, my English is *fantastic*, so I'll be happy to pith in.

Or, y'know, "pitch". :slight_smile:

I'm gathering reference to other projects and sites (feel free
to send them to me offlist);

Excellent point.

I'm planning to also add reference to documented events to
increase eyeballs on BCP38;

I believe you mean people's after action reports, here; also an excellent idea.
Create a new article for each event, named something like

  "Mar 2013 Cloudflare DNS DDOS attack"

Nothing is set in stone... from the wiki (maybe another CMS),
the look, the registrar or even the hosting location.

Well, Mediawiki is certainly the platform I have the most background driving,
but as long as the data can be ported, I don't object to changing... until
people start making links to the inside of the site. :-}

I too encourage people to dive in, though perhaps not yet to start publicizing
the site widely for it's intended end purpose until we flesh it out for a week or so.

Cheers,

I can't prove that from my neck of the woods...

Well,

    Usual failure from my part =D.

    But I think I see what's happening...

ns1.bcp38.org
ns2.bcp38.org

    Are not yet registered.

    I've move them to "production" servers until it complete.

    Let me know.
