Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being.

The feedback from the ARIN community will be part of the contribution provided by the Number Resource Organization (NRO) to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) in response to their recent "Request for Proposals (RFP) for ?IANA?

Request for clarification of the process
by Richard Hill 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

I refer to the message at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/cooperation-wg/2014-October/000620. html It says "The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to complete the [IANA transition] proposal and to submit it to the ICG before January 15th 2015." Does RIPE NCC refer to the staff of the RIR? That is, is the proposal going to be written by the staff and directly submitted to the ICG? Or is the proposal going to be submitted for discussion to this (or some other) mailing list? Please recall that the IANA transition process is supposed to involve the global multi-stakeholder community, and not just the RIPE community. Best, Richard

Initial Draft: RIPE Community IANA Stewardship Proposal
by Chris Buckridge 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC, working closely with the Cooperation Working Group Co-chairs and the RIPE Chair, has produced the following draft RIPE community proposal regarding the IANA stewardship. This text should not be regarded as final - it is intended to act as a basis for discussions in this working group over the coming weeks. There will also be a dedicated session at RIPE 69 in London on Thursday, 6 November, to discuss these issues. Remote participation will be available for those unable to be present. Best regards, Chris Buckridge, RIPE NCC RIPE Community IANA Stewardship Proposal [DRAFT] ———————————————————————— The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to work with the other RIRs to produce a common proposal for a legally binding agreement (such as a Service Level Agreement) between ICANN and the RIRs to replace the Internet number-related elements of the ICANN-NTIA agreement. This proposal should meet the requirements of the Request For Proposals (RFP) produced by the IANA Stewardship Transistion Coordination Group (ICG). The proposal should bring the provisions of the agreement related to the services and service levels up-to-date with current requirements where necessary. This work should be coordinated with the other users of the IANA function as much as practical, with the aim of producing a proposed arrangement that is compatible with the proposed arrangements of the other IANA users. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC and the other RIRs keep it informed about progress and content of the proposal. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to complete the proposal and to submit it to the ICG before January 15th 2015.

RIPE NCC and CENTR Hold Joint Meeting With Governments
by Chris Buckridge 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC and CENTR, the European country code top-level domain (TLD) organisation, held a meeting on Wednesday, 1 October 2014, in Brussels, Belgium, for governments and regulators to discuss issues of relevance to both the RIPE and CENTR communities. The meeting was part of the CENTR General Assembly and was held adjacent to a meeting of the European Commission High Level Group on Internet Governance, attracting approximately 100 representatives from governments, industry and the Internet technical community. Dominating the agenda was a discussion of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) oversight transition process that is currently ongoing. Paul Rendek, RIPE NCC Director of External Relations, participated in a panel with Nominet’s Martin Boyle and Afnic’s Mathieu Weill, chaired by Peter Vergote, Chairman of the CENTR Board of Directors. This panel addressed the discussion process currently underway in the RIPE and TLD communities regarding both the IANA stewardship and ICANN accountability. The RIPE NCC presentation described the relationship between the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and IANA, the model of regional Internet number policy development, efforts to document the RIRs’ accountability to their stakeholders, the discussion of IANA stewardship in the RIPE community, and some of the key principles that have emerged from that discussion. These principles include a preference for minimal operational change and to build on existing structures and processes to formalise the RIR communities’ role as stewards of global Internet number registration. The panel was followed by vibrant discussion, with many governments and other attendees contributing. Many expressed concern about the timeline leading up to the expiration of the current contract in September 2015, and the challenge of reaching an agreement on a proposal for future IANA oversight upon which all affected communities can agree. RIPE NCC Chief Scientist Daniel Karrenberg was among those who stressed the importance of early and effective communication between all parties to assure the best chance of a widely accepted outcome to the process. Several governments also suggested the possibility of a neutral third-party assuming the oversight role currently held by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). Others noted that such an arrangement would be contrary to preferences already expressed in the RIR and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) communities. The meeting also included discussion of upcoming Internet governance events, particularly the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary 2014 (PP14). Chris Buckridge presented on the RIPE NCC's priorities going into this event, and the focus on providing expert technical advice to ITU Member States, particularly when discussions touch on issues such as IP address registration, allocation and policy-making. Presentation slides delivered by the RIPE NCC are available online: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/roundtable/october-2014/presentations Additional information on the IANA oversight transition is available at: https://www.ripe.net/iana-oversight-transition/ The next RIPE NCC Roundtable Meeting for Governments and Regulators will be held in early 2015, with details to be announced closer to the event itself. Best regards, Chris Buckridge Senior External Relations Officer, RIPE NCC
