Dear Working Group, A few of us at the RIPE NCC spent at least part of the last few weeks in Dubai for the ITU Plenipotentiary 2018. A three-week endeavour deserves more than a single blog post, so we’ve gone one better and given you two! One is more of a high-level summary of what happened - the issues discussed, the outcomes and the general tenor of the discussion: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/itu-plenipotentiary-2018-what-just-happ... The other is Marco Hogewoning’s take on some of the technical issues that came up in discussion, and what impact they might have going forward for operators, governments and the Internet generally: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_hogewoning/itu-plenipotentiary-2018-thro... Enjoy, please feel free to comment or hit us up with any questions you might have. Best regards, Chris —— Chris Buckridge External Relations Manager RIPE NCC
