RIPE Principles
by Daniel Karrenberg 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

This is a response to https://labs.ripe.net/author/chrisb/a-matter-of-principle/. As a community we know quite well what RIPE is about. People are here for a reason. I am not convinced that we need another meta discussion. Talking about principles we should remind ourselves of those we have had from the very beginning of RIPE: the "RIPE Terms of Reference" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-001. For a document written in 1989 this co-author believes that it holds up pretty well. Even the essence of "a globally interoperable, unfragmented Internet" is there, worded more than 30 years ago as: "RIPE promotes and coordinates interconnection of IP networks within Europe and to other continents." Personally I am happy with these principles even after more than 30 years. They guide us well. Maybe we just need to remind ourselves of these principles from time to time and interpret them in the current context. Should we agree that we need to work on revising our principles, we should start from ripe-001 and word them as much as possible in terms of what we actually *do*. I also recommend seeking broader community consensus before spending much time on this. Daniel

Dear cooperation working group, I'd like to call your attention to my talk on the draft agenda of the open source wg this Wednesday, because I believe it may be of interest to members of this group: On 10/10/2022 18:47, Marcos Sanz wrote: > Agenda RIPE 85 Open Source WG Session > Wednesday, October 26, 10:30 - 11:30 (CEST) > [..] > B.

NISD2
by Nick Hilliard 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

The EU Parliament approved an adopted text for NISD2 earlier today: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2022-0383_EN.pdf There are several stages to go before this is finalised as a directive, and several more before it can be passed as legislation by national parliaments, but this text is unlikely to undergo any more substantial changes.

by Suzanne Taylor 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, As I’m sure many of you know - or were perhaps even in attendance - the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference wrapped up last Friday in Bucharest after an intensive three weeks of negotiations and elections. In this RIPE Labs article, I go over some of the main proposals to the Internet Resolutions and the changes that made it through to the final texts, along with some high-level takeaways for the Internet community: https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/reflections-on-the-itu-p… <https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/reflections-on-the-itu-p…> We at the RIPE NCC would also be very interested to hear your own thoughts on the conference, its outcomes and the implications for Internet governance going forward. Please leave a comment or feel free to share your own experiences here. We’ll also present on the conference and its outcomes during the Cooperation Working Group session at RIPE 85 in Belgrade next week, and hope to see many of you there! https://ripe85.ripe.net/ <https://ripe85.ripe.net/> Best regards, Suzanne _________________ Suzanne Taylor Public Policy & Internet Governance RIPE NCC www.ripe.net <http://www.ripe.net/>

And I thought I’d never see those words in a Subject: header. :-) Doreen Bogdan-Martin has just been elected as secretary-general of the ITU. She’s also the first woman to get the job and she may well the first woman to lead a UN agency.

Join research on digital rights & climate justice @ The Engine Room (fwd)
by Vesna Manojlovic 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

Dear Working Group, I'd like to share this invitation, since these intersectional topics are dear to my heart - and relevant for the RIPE community too. Regards, Vesna From: Becky Kazansky at TheEngineRoom Hi there! In July, we published our Engine Room report [1] exploring the intersections of digital rights, tech, and climate justice. It’s been wonderful to hear from readers on what findings from our research you’ve found useful for your own work. We’d like to keep the exchange going with an interactive discussion sharing our main findings and collaboratively plotting a course for further future work in this urgent area, so we’re hosting a community call on October 18 from 5:00PM - 6:00PM CET (UTC+01:00). You can read more about the call agenda and sign up to join us here [2] Hope to see you there! Becky [1] https://www.theengineroom.org/new-report-at-the-confluence-of-digital-right… [2] https://www.theengineroom.org/join-our-community-call-digital-rights-climat…
