Work Programme 2012 of the European Commission published

Dear all, as I mentioned during my presentation at RIPE 63, one of the main tools to know what the European Commission is planning to do / is doing is the so-called Commission Work Programme or CWP. You might be interested to know that on 15 November, the European Commission published its CWP for 2012. You can find all the documents at http://ec.europa.eu/atwork/programmes/index_en.htm. What you may probably be more interested in is the so-called Annex I, which lists with some more detail the specific "key initiatives" of the CWP (see http://ec.europa.eu/atwork/programmes/docs/cwp2012_annex_en.pdf). The Annex is divided by "policy themes". RIPE members may possibly be interested in the actions under the "Digital Agenda" theme (21-25), as well as action 60 (Fighting European Cybercrime), 87 (On-line gambling in the Internal Market), 91 (Initiative on notice and takedown procedures). Or also other initiatives, depending on your tastes. :) Two further points: - Annex I to the CWP includes what you may think of as "major" initiatives, but is not per se a full and exhaustive list of everything the Commission is planning to do. - Further details on (most of) the initiatives in Annex I of the CWP, as well as on other initiatives which are not in Annex I of the CWP but the Commission is nonetheless working on, are available via so-called "roadmaps" at http://ec.europa.eu/governance/impact/planned_ia/roadmaps_2012_en.htm. The list of "roadmaps" (and also, as a matter of fact, the CWP) is updated on a rolling basis. I hope this is, if not useful, at least mildly interesting. Please let me know if I can provide further information, noting however that (a) the management of the CWP is not under the responsibility of DG Information Society and Media, but of the General Secretariat of the Commission; and that (b) I may not be personally involved in all the initiatives I mentioned above, and certainly not in all the initiatives in Annex I. Nonetheless, I'll be happy to help with providing the relevant contacts, should the need arise.

Interaction between Dutch police and RIPE NCC
by Patrik Fältström 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi, I presume many of you have seen this original story on the RIPE website from Nov 9: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe… > RIPE NCC Blocks Registration in RIPE Registry Following Order from Dutch Police > 09 Nov 2011 > The RIPE NCC received a temporary order from the Dutch police to prevent any changes from being made to a registration of four specific blocks of IPv4 address space in the RIPE Registry. > > The order is effective from 8 November 2011 until 22 March 2012. This has been updated with new information on Nov 16: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe… > The RIPE NCC is receiving independent legal advice and is in discussion with the appropriate authorities. It is the intention of the RIPE NCC to pursue this matter further in Dutch court to establish a precedent so that it is certain of its rights regarding such orders. > > In the interest of transparency, the RIPE NCC is working on full disclosure of the background documents. The RIPE NCC will update the community if and when any other publishable materials become available. > > The RIPE NCC is committed to acting in the best interest of its membership and will continue to inform the Internet community on this matter as it progresses. > > The RIPE NCC has not withdrawn, removed or reclaimed the address blocks in question; it has temporarily locked a registration of address blocks. On this last page there is also a link to the police order itself: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/police-order-8-november-2011 Patrik Fältström Co-chair, Cooperation Working Group

Big step forward at discussions of WTO
by Patrik Fältström 21 Nov '11

Might also be interesting... Patrik Russia to cancel licensing of imported IT product, zero out duties - WTO GENEVA. (Interfax) - In the context of its accession to the World Trade Organization, Russia will remove restrictions on imported digital (cryptographic) equipment, and will also zero out import duties on high-tech goods. Licensing will not be need for dozens more products with cryptography, including wireless communications devices, electronic digital signatures, and smart cards, a WTO statement says. There will be no new restrictions, including expert evaluation, approval and licensing, the statement says. For devices for which the licensing of their import is retained, the procedures will be done only once. The rules for bringing digital devices into the Customs Union were integrated at the beginning of last year. Since then, importers have been obligated to obtain licensing or do notification of each model (cellphone, laptop computers, and so on) that supports cryptography. The notifica-tion is done by the producer of certain devices at Russia's Center for Licensing, and certification and the protection of state secrets by the FSB. Receiving licensing is not to take more than ninety days.
