Overview of Organisation Template

#[OVERVIEW OF ORGANISATION TEMPLATE]#
%
% Please add a short description of your organisation.

org-description: Bluelight B.V. is an ISP. We will make IPv6
                 connectivity available to all 10,000 of our 
                 ADSL customers.

% If your organisation has IPv6 allocations from any of the Regional
% Internet Registries (RIRs), please list the ranges below.

other-allocation: none

% Will the whole organisation use the requested allocation?                    
% If another part of the organisation will request separate IPv6
% address space from any RIR, please inform us below. (Whole/Part)

for-whole-or-part-of-the-organisation: whole

In the "org-description:" field, write a short description of your
organisation. Include information about your IPv6 services and
customers.

Use the "other-allocation:" field to list all the IPv6 allocations
that you already have. These can be from any RIR. You can repeat this
field as many times as needed.

Enter "part" in the "for-whole-or-part-of-the-organisation:" field if
any part of your organisation, anywhere in the world, will request
separate IPv6 address space. Otherwise, enter "whole".


IPv6 Allocation Usage Plan

#[IPv6 ALLOCATION USAGE PLAN]#
%
% When will you use this address space?
%
%         Subnet       Within    Within    Within
%         size (/nn)  3 months   1 year    2 years     Purpose
subnet:     /45           x         -         -        8 ADSL POPs
subnet:     /42           -         x         -        Corporate (64 /48s)
subnet:     /40           -         -         x        SOHOs (256 /48s)

Enter the size of each subnet in the "Subnet size (/nn)"
column. Please specify the size using IPv6 slash notation (for
example, /48). You can repeat the "subnet:" field as many times as
needed.

In the "Purpose" column, write a short description of each subnet. If
needed, you can write a more detailed description in the "Insert
Supplemental Comments" section at the end of this form.

Complete the remaining columns with a cross (x) or a dash (-). For
example, if you will use a subnet within three months, enter a cross
in the "Within 3 months" column and a dash in both the "Within 1 year"
and "Within 2 years" columns.

You must plan to make 200 or more /48 assignments within two years. If
you group any assignments together, please use the "Purpose" column to
show how many /48 assignments are in each subnet.


Database Template(s)

#[DATABASE TEMPLATE(S)]# 
%
% Please complete all of the fields below.

inet6num: 
netname: 
descr:      Bluelight B.V.
country:    NL
org:        ORG-Bb2-RIPE
admin-c:    HOHO1-RIPE
tech-c:     HOHO1-RIPE
status:     ALLOCATED-BY-RIR
mnt-by:     RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-lower:  BLUELIGHT-MNT
mnt-routes: BLUELIGHT-MNT
notify:     john@bluelight.ripe.net
changed:    hostmaster@ripe.net
source:     RIPE

Leave the "inet6num:" and "netname:" fields empty as we (the RIPE NCC)
will complete them.

Enter the legal name of the LIR's organisation in the "descr:"
field.

Enter the ISO country code of the LIR's organisation in the
"country:" field.

Enter the org-ID of the LIR's organisation object in the "org:"
field. If you don't know your LIR's org-ID, you can find it in the
Organisation Object Editor (https://lirportal.ripe.net).

Person and role objects contain information about people. Each object
has a unique NIC handle (nic-hdl). You can create person and role
objects using webupdates.

The nic-hdl of the role or person object entered in the "admin-c:"
field should be for someone who has administrative responsibilities
for the network.

The nic-hdl of the role or person object entered in the "tech-c:"
field should be for someone who has technical knowledge of the
network.

The "status:" field must be ALLOCATED-BY-RIR.

Maintainers protect objects in the RIPE Whois Database. They contain
the information needed to authorise creation, deletion or modification
of these objects. You can create maintainers using the 'Maintainer
Editor' (https://lirportal.ripe.net).

The "mnt-by:" field must be RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT.

The "mnt-lower:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation
of inet6num objects (assignments) within the allocated block.

The "mnt-routes:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation
of route6 objects for the allocated block.

All of the objects that you enter in the template must already exist
in the RIPE Whois Database.

We will send an e-mail to the e-mail address in the "notify:" field
every time the inet6num allocation object is updated.

The "changed:" field must be hostmaster@ripe.net.

The "source:" field must be RIPE.

% Please add more information if you have specific
% addressing needs.

We will make the IPv6 connectivity available first to our large
corporate customers and then our small business users (SOHOs).  The
next phase will be to offer the connectivity to our private users.


You can use this space for additional information that you think will
be helpful for us when we evaluate your request.
