NIS2 update: EU ministers agreed on the general approach
by Marco Hogewoning 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, We just received a message that the EU Ministers of the Transport, Telecommunications, and Energy Council, in their meeting today, have agreed to the general approach on the NIS 2 proposal. This now paves the way for the negotiations, the so called trilogue, to start early next year and develop a final compromise proposal. While the official text has not been published yet, we have seen a copy of the working document that shows that the Council position has also removed the DNS root servers from the scope of the directive, together with a short inclusion in the text that emphasises the role of multistakeholder Internet governance. We expect that this text has not been changed prior to today's meeting and is part of the general approach that was just endorsed. This means that as the negotiations start, both the EU member states and the European Parliament will come to the table with a position that the DNS root servers should be removed from the scope of the NIS 2 proposal. This leaves us with some confidence that the final outcome will reflect those positions and exclude the DNS root servers. Further to the concerns of the community, the Council text also has significant changes to the scope of the DNS services in general, which I think will limit the impact of the proposal, especially on smaller operators or entities who run a DNS server only for their own purpose. The Council issued a press release: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2021/12/03/strength… I would like to thank all my colleagues and community members who have helped to convey the message that governance of the DNS root servers should be left to the multistakeholder community and the risks that the Commission's proposal brings to maintaining a single global and un-fragmented Internet. I would also like to thank all the delegates of the various member states for taking the time to listen to us and to take on board our comments and concerns, leading to the compromise that was agreed today. We will keep you informed about further progress on this dossier. Regards, Marco Hogewoning Manager Public Policy and Internet Governance, RIPE NCC

IGF 2022 Call for Workshop Proposals
by Chris Buckridge 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, Please find below the call for workshop proposals for this year’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which is planned to take place in Ethiopia in November, but which will be a fully hybrid event (so you don’t need to be on-site to be an active participant, or even session organiser!). This IGF is happening at a very dynamic and significant moment for Internet governance - this is playing out in a variety of ways, not least in how the world’s governments are trying to engage with the Internet and exert varying degrees of control over its use and operations. You’ll note in the call for proposals that the IGF this year has been structured around five themes (each workshop proposal should relate back to at least one of these themes) - this is a deliberate strategy to reflect the themes that the UN has identified for a “Global Digital Compact” that it plans to develop in 2023 (see Commitment #7 here: https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/#download). By structuring the conference in this way, it’s hoped that the IGF discussions will provide multistakeholder input to this development of this Global Digital Compact. The RIPE NCC (and our fellow RIRs) will be looking at how best to participate in IGF 2022, and will be happy to work with members of the RIPE community to ensure that this community’s perspectives and concerns are reflected in the discussions. If you’ve got any questions about the IGF or this process, please feel free to drop me a mail!

Information request on skill gaps in ICT (security) education
by Wout de Natris 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, In this email I draw your attention to research currently being undertaken in the IGF’s Internet Standards, Security and Safety Coalition (IS3C). It has not been able to find volunteers from Europe and North America, the reason why I call on you with the request to conduct one interview. IS3C’s working group on education & skills works towards these goals: * To detect and resolve cyber security skill gaps in tertiary ICT education curricula; * To encourage tertiary educational institutions to include in their ICT curricula the essential skills, knowledge and understanding of security- related Internet standards and ICT best practices, building on current best practices, in order to bring tertiary education in line with emerging workforce requirements; * To strengthen collaboration between educational decision-takers and policy makers in governments and industry in order to align tertiary ICT curricula with the requirements of our cyber future; * To ensure effective collaboration between key stakeholders in order to keep tertiary ICT educational materials in step with new technologies and standards and prevent new skills gaps from developing. To identify the skill gap and determine current good practices, we are in search of people who have the expertise asked for and can "self-interview" or interview one colleague with experience in recruitement of recently graduated youths entering the work force. The workload involves asking five questions and to report the answers in an interview reporting tool. Should you be able to assist the working group members, please contact me at denatrisconsult (at) hotmail (dot) nl<mailto:denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl> so I can share further information with you. The results are open source and will be shared openly. More information on (how to join) IS3C you can find on the IGF website: https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/internet-standards-security-and-safe… Best regards, Wout de Natris IS3C coordinator IS3C: Making the Internet more secure and safer - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - De Natris Consult Kamerlingh Onnesstraat 43 Tel: +31 648388813 2014 EK Haarlem Skype: wout.de.natris denatrisconsult(a)hotmail.nl<mailto:denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl> http://www.denatrisconsult.nl Blog http://woutdenatris.wordpress.com
