LIR Training Course Outline

Target Audience

The target audience of the training courses is the staff of Local Internet Registries (LIRs) in the RIPE NCC service region. The goal is to help you understand your part in the process of IP resources distribution. It is important that the LIRs get informed and remain up-to-date with the policies and procedures.

Registration

Two persons per LIR can register per training course. Additional persons from an LIR may register if there are available places left. The costs of this course are covered by the LIR's membership fee. Since we will be handing out confidential information to attendees about their own LIR, only LIR contact persons can register themselves for a training course. LIR contact persons can also register other colleagues. The course includes lunch and printed training materials. Travel expenses and accommodation during the training course are not included.
More details on the training course policies are available in the RIPE NCC Local IR Training Policies document.

All LIR Training Courses are conducted in the English language.

We ask everyone to be present at 09:00 for coffee. The course starts at 09:30 and finishes at 17:00.

For this course, we require you to be familiar with the RIPE Database and are able to create, change and delete objects. To check or refresh your knowledge, we invite you to take the following submodules:

• Part 4 - Creating a Person Object using Webupdates
• Part 5 - Creating a Person Mntner using Webupdates
• Part 6 - Adding a Mntner to an existing Person Object using Webupdates

Material Structure

The course is based on examples, demonstrations, practical exercises and a presentation of slides. Printouts of slides are handed out together with extra materials and examples. The LIR handbook, also handed out at the course, provides in-depth, easy to read background information on the topics covered. It contains many detailed explanations and references to the relevant documents and web pages.

What this course will not teach you:

This course will not teach Local Registries how to run their businesses as Internet Service Providers (ISPs). It is clearly focused on registration procedures and the interaction between the RIPE NCC and LIRs.
