Hello all.
The APRICOT 2026 Organising Committee would like to welcome everyone to
join us in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 5th - 12th February 2026.
The APRICOT 2026 PC (Programme Committee) is responsible for the
solicitation and selection of suitable presentations and tutorial
content for the APRICOT 2026 conference (https://2026.apricot.net/).
We are now seeking VOLUNTEERS from the community to join the APRICOT
2026 PC to assist with the development of the programme for APRICOT 2026.
Eligible PC candidates must have attended recent APRICOT events, be
active members of their local NOG (Network Operators Group) in the Asia
Pacific region, have broad technical knowledge of Internet operations,
and have good familiarity with the format of APRICOT. Having
constructive opinions and ideas about how the programme content might be
improved is of high value too.
PC members are expected to work very actively to solicit content,
follow-through with speaker updates and review submissions for technical
merit.
The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency during the three
months prior to APRICOT. While participation in the weekly calls is not
obligatory, active participation in content reviews is required at all
times to help the PC reach consensus. PC members who are unable to fully
participate in the programme development will be excused from the PC.
If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility
criteria, please send a brief note to "pc-chairs at apricot.net". The
note must include affiliation (if any) and a brief description about why
you would make a good addition to the PC.
The PC Chairs will accept nominations received by 17:00hrs UTC+8 on
Sunday 7th September 2025, and will announce the new PC shortly thereafter.
Many thanks!
Mark Tinka, Achie Atienza & Mark Duffell
APRICOT 2026 Programme Committee Chairs
Dear IPv6 WG mailing list members,
RIPE 91 will be held in Bucharest, Romania from 20-24 October 2025, as well as
online.
For any form of participation you can register at
https://ripe91.ripe.net/attend/attendee-info/register/
Please keep in mind that the early bird rate is only available until 21st of
July 2025!
The IPv6 Working Group session is scheduled for Thursday 23 October from 9:00
- 10:30 (UTC+2).
We are looking for presentations! In the last years only sessions for the
Plenary could be registered via the website and the WG presentations needed to
be sent via email to the WG chairs. This has changed for the next meeting and
we are now using Pretalx for all presentations! Please submit your
presentations here:
https://ripe91.ripe.net/present/call-for-presentations/
You will need a RIPE NCC Access account and enable two-factor authentication
in order to access the submission system. If you don't have a RIPE NCC Access
account yet, please create it here: https://access.ripe.net/registration
If you like to discuss your presentation with us first, please email
ipv6-wg-chair(a)ripe.net.
The deadlines mentioned on the CfP page above are for the Plenary. For the WG
session we also accept submissions after the deadlines, but for better
planning we prefer to have your submission as soon as possible.
On 20th of September we will start to decide about the agenda and see, if we
still have open slots. Once we have decided on the agenda, we'll contact the
presenters. We expect to have a draft of the presentations about two weeks
before the meeting and the final slides at least two days before our session.
On behalf of the IPv6 WG co-chairs,
Ray and Chris
Dear IPv6 WG list,
we would like to inform you that Nico Schottelius resigned from his position
as IPv6 WG Co-Chair. The regular end of his term would have been RIPE94. The
IPv6 WG thanks Nico for his term as Co-Chair.
Ray's term ends after the next RIPE91 meeting. I am pleased that Ray has
agreed to continue and our current plan is for Ray to serve Nico's term until
RIPE94.
We are now looking for a new Co-Chair for a regular three-year term on RIPE91.
A Co-Chair may stand for re-selection at the end of his term or may resign
voluntary for any reason at any time.
What is the IPv6 Working Group doing?
The working group activities may be anything useful in helping people to
deploy IPv6, and to manage IPv4/IPv6 co-existence. These activities include:
* Outreach
* Education
* Sharing deployment experiences
* Discussing and fixing operational issues
The Co-Chairs also prepare the program for the IPv6 WG session at the RIPE
meetings and also moderate the session and prepare the speakers. It is
important for us that a new Co-Chair candidate will be able to attend the RIPE
meetings in person.
The working group will cooperate with operators and others, both inside and
outside the networking industry, to share resources and combine efforts.
The tasks and expectations of a WG Co-Chair are described here:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692
A WG Co-Chair must comply with the Code of Conduct:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-766
If you feel you are interested in this or have any questions on this, you can
drop the current Co-Chairs a note at ipv6-wg-chair(a)ripe.net.
We kindly request you to respond no later than Friday 03. October 2025 midday
CET (Amsterdam), when the call for candidates closes. After this we will
announce the candidates on the list, and you can express your support. The
official selection will take place at the RIPE 91 Meeting in Bucharest during
the IPv6 Working Group session.
On behalf of the IPv6 WG Co-Chairs,
Ray and Chris
