Dear colleagues, Please find the Call for Papers (CfP) for the South East Europe (SEE) meeting below. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic RIPE NCC <https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/regional-meetings/see-2/cfp> -------------------------------------------------------- SEE 2/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting: Call for Presentations -------------------------------------------------------- Are you an experienced network operator willing to share your expertise with your peers in South East Europe? Following the tremendous success of the inaugural South Eastern Europe (SEE)/RIPE NC Regional Meeting in 2011 in Dubrovnik, we are now planning to hold a follow-up meeting in the region, this time in Skopje, Macedonia. These regional meetings offer network engineers and other technical staff an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience, and to identify areas for regional cooperation. The meetings are open to anyone and there is no cost to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to: * Encourage the cooperation of operators in the region, enabling them to exchange information and discuss the issues that affect them * Enable the RIPE NCC to further support Local Internet Registries (LIRs) in the region. * Present the latest developments in the Internet industry. SEE 2 runs from 22-23 April 2013 in Skopje, Macedonia. The meeting agenda will consist of plenary sessions, tutorials, hands-on workshops as well as long coffee breaks, lunches, and evening social events with plenty of time for attendees to meet each other face-to-face. The SEE Programme Committee (PC) is currently looking for network operators and researchers in South East Europe who would like to teach a technical tutorial or lead a workshop and/or give a technical presentation during the conference. Submission topics include (but are not limited to): * IPv6 (in general) * BGP and routing * Network management and monitoring (BSS/OSS/NMS) * Internet exchanges * DNS/DNSSEC/IDN * Policy and regulatory aspects Presentation proposals can be submitted here: <http://papers.apia.org/paper/user/index.php?event=15> Conference Milestones * Call for Papers opens: 19 November 2012 * Deadline for first proposal: 21 January 2013 * Deadline for second proposal: 11 February 2013 * Final programme published: 1 April 2013 * Final slides: 15 April 2013 Please note that marketing/commercial content will not be considered. The presenter should come from a technical background rather than sales or marketing. A draft version of the presentation (PPT or PDF) must be submitted with the talk proposal. This draft version should outline the content flow of the talk and any key messages. -------------------------- Guidelines for Submissions -------------------------- When considering a presentation, workshop or tutorial, remember that the audience will mainly be comprised of technical network operators and engineers with varying levels of experience. Workshops/tutorials are 90-minutes long and should focus on teaching core skills and basic knowledge. Conference presentations should address issues that ISPs and network operators could face over the next 12-18 months in their day-to-day operations. Conference presenters should plan for a 20-minute presentation followed by a 5-minute Q&A period. ---------------------------------- Notification of Accepted Presentations ---------------------------------- The SEE 2 PC will confirm acceptance of your presentation proposal by 25 March 2013. Late submissions that are exceptionally timely or of critical operational importance will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Funding and Support SEE 2 is a not-for-profit event that aims to keep the cost of attending as low as possible. For this reason, SEE is unable to subsidise the cost of travel for speakers.

RIPE NCC Listing Service: Streamlining Resource Transfers
by Andrew de la Haye 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear colleagues, A year ago the RIPE NCC introduced the Listing Service, aimed at streamlining the resource transfer process: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/listing At this time, it only enables RIPE NCC members to list the IPv4 address space they hold and no longer need. Since the depletion of the available IPv4 address pool, there has been an increasing demand from the membership for a service that allows LIRs to request IPv4 address space for transfer. To fulfil this demand, we are currently building an addition to the Listing Service to provide this functionality. RIPE NCC Members will be able to post a request on the Listing Service indicating a prefix size, whether a permanent or temporary transfer is desired, and any other details they wish to disclose. Only RIPE NCC members will be able to view the details in the LIR Portal. On the public website, we will display the total size of all address space that is being requested, without disclosing the identity or other details of the requesters. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Andrew de la Haye COO RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Launches Technical Emergency Hotline
by Jochem de Ruig 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Dear colleagues, We are proud to announce the launch of the RIPE NCC Technical Emergency Hotline: https://www.ripe.net/contact/technical-emergency-hotline RIPE NCC members told us that they needed to reach us 24/7 in emergency situations following the reverse DNS outage in June 2012. Our members asked and we listened. The RIPE NCC Technical Emergency Hotline is: *+31 (0) 20 626 3571* During office hours [Monday-Friday, 09:00-17:00 (UTC+1)], any calls to the hotline will be redirected to the RIPE NCC front office. Outside of office hours, the number will redirect to a reputable third-party company trained to evaluate the calls and pass on the details of a legitimate report immediately to the appropriate RIPE NCC 24/7 team. As this is a new service, we will be watching it closely over the next few months so that we can evaluate it and make any adjustments to the service if needed. We will report our findings back to RIPE NCC members. Kind regards, Jochem de Ruig RIPE NCC
