FYI: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors
by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

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. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts. Read more about the Guides’ development here. > > Each Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in day-to-day business operations in each industry through step-by-step guidance. At each step, they summarise what the UN Guiding Principles expect, offer a range of approaches and examples for how to put them into practice, and link users to additional resources that can support their work. They are intended to help companies “translate” respect for human rights into their own systems and cultures. > > Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this process. > > Best regards, > > > CSR Team > > European Commission > Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General > Unit ENTR.D.1 >

Request to contribute to AIOTI survey on IoT indentifiers
by Marco Hogewoning 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is a member of the the Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI). Its standardisation group (WG3) has established a task force to look at identifiers for use in the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the task force's work items is to collect information about any existing identification systems and standards that could be considered for application in IoT and investigate identification needs and requirements from IoT implementers. They have created a short survey to gather this information and asked us to invite the RIPE community to contribute. As both the requirements and options available will probably vary significantly between different IoT products and services, we don't think it's feasible to provide the task force with a consolidated response, as compiling such an answer to some extent would duplicate the work of the task force. Instead, we encourage RIPE community members who have a stake in IoT or associated identification mechanisms or standards to respond to the survey on an individual basis. The survey is available here: https://goo.gl/forms/vT22nR1ZEh13lfzi1 You are kindly requested to respond before 7 April. Please also see the attached message from Juergen Helles, Chair of the task force. As a member of AIOTI, we will continue to monitor and contribute to the work of AIOTI WG3 and this task force. Regards Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC - External Relations > > > The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation AIOTI (www.aioti.org) was initiated by the European Commission in 2015, with the aim to strengthen the dialogue and interaction among Internet of Things (IoT) players in Europe, and to contribute to the creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem to speed up the take up of IoT. Further objectives of the Alliance are fostering experimentation, replication, and deployment of IoT and supporting convergence and interoperability of IoT standards; gathering evidence on market obstacles for IoT deployment; and mapping and bridging global, EU, and member states' IoT innovation activities. > > AIOTI Working Group 03 is a focus of European engagement and steering in the IoT standardization process: > - Maintain a view on the landscape of IoT standards-relevant activities being driven by Standard Developing Organizations, Consortia, Alliances and Open Source Software projects > - Provide a forum for analysis, discussion and alignment of strategic, cross-domain, technical themes and shared concerns across landscape activities > - Develop recommendations and guidelines addressing those concerns > - Engage the IoT community in disseminating and promoting the results and steering emerging standards > Note that AIOTI will not develop standards itself but interact with standardization development organizations and consortia in order to initiate standardization activities. > > Identification plays an important role for IoT. In addition to the identification of the Things identification of other entities will be needed. Various identification schemes already exist, are standardized and deployed. A thorough analysis of the identification needs and related standardization for IoT is therefore needed. The AIOTI WG03 IoT Identifier task force was setup specifically to > - Evaluate identification needs for IoT and related requirements > - Collect existing identification standards and ongoing standardization work and elaborate their applicability for IoT. > The results of these activities will be published in a public report on IoT Identifiers. > > The task force has setup a online survey in order to collect input for the above task. > > IoT Identifier Survey (https://goo.gl/forms/vT22nR1ZEh13lfzi1) > > We are asking RIPE Community to provide feedback to the survey until Friday April 7th 2017. > > Please also feel free to distribute this survey request to your members for their individual feedback to the survey. > > Please note, that the information that you provide will be anonymized, i.e. there will be no reference to your specific contribution to the survey in the public report. Still you can request to be listed in the report as a contributor to the survey without reference to your specific contribution. > A pdf file with the survey questions is attached for your information, but please use the only survey (see link above) for your feedback. > > In case you have questions on the survey don’t hesitate to contact the co-chair of the AITOI WG3 IoT Identifier task force (juergen.heiles(a)siemens.com, henri.barthel(a)gs1.org). > > > Best Regards > > Juergen Heiles, AIOTI WG3 IoT Identifier task force co-chair

New on RIPE Labs: Uncertainty is Key
by Mirjam Kuehne 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Dear colleagues, In order to manufacture Internet connectivity, network operators around the globe make a joint effort. As of today, they have interconnected more than 55,000 Autonomous Systems. By the measure of existence, the Internet gives evidence of a remarkable degree of decentral coordination between networkers. Please find more on RIPE Labs in a new article by Uta Meier-Hahn: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/uta_meier_hahn/uncertainty-is-key Kind regards, Mirjam Kuhne RIPE NCC
