Organisational Update – GM May 2026: Why Did People Vote the Way They Did? 1. Registry – LIR Stats Number of LIR accounts: 20,782 (+19) Number of members: 20,056 (+27) IPv4 addresses transferred in May: 1,913,088 (-828,800) LIRs with IPv6: 15,735 (-71) LIRs on IPv4 Waiting List: 713 Days that first LIR in queue has been waiting: 441 % of IPv4 address space covered by ROAs: 76% % of IPv6 address space covered by ROAs: 44% ARCs completed in May: 240 – RIPE PDP Update A new policy, ripe-847 “Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs”, has been implemented. It provides a mandate to the RIPE NCC to revoke resource certificates associated with long-term non-functional delegated Certificate Authorities to reduce Relying Party workloads. https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-847/ Policy proposal 2024-01: "Revised IPv6 PI Assignment Policy" will advance to the Review Phase. The RIPE NCC will announce the start of the Review Phase together with the publication of the Impact Analysis and the new policy draft. https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-01/ – IPv6-Only vs IPv6-Mostly: Appropriate Use Cases Not all IPv6 deployment models belong in the same flock. IPv6-Only and IPv6-Mostly are often discussed as if they were interchangeable, but each was designed for different environments. This article explores why matching the right approach to the right use case matters. https://labs.ripe.net/author/jordipaletm/ipv6-only-vs-ipv6-mostly-appropria… 2. Information Services – What We Learned from a Multi-Service Vulnerability Disclosure A series of vulnerabilities reported through the RIPE NCC bug bounty programme revealed weaknesses across multiple services and highlighted the risks posed by vulnerability chains. We look at how the issues were addressed, and what the disclosure taught us about handling complex security reports that span teams and systems. https://labs.ripe.net/author/eleonora-petridou/what-we-learned-from-a-multi… – LatencyMON, Rebuilt: Safer, Faster, and More Connected We've rewritten LatencyMON from the ground up, retiring its legacy libraries for a modern, more secure codebase, with a refreshed interface and new ways to group and explore your RIPE Atlas latency data. https://labs.ripe.net/author/stephen_suess_1/latencymon-rebuilt-safer-faste… – ASPA Is Live. Can You See It Working? ASPA objects can be registered today with ARIN and RIPE NCC. Validators support RTR v2. But if you're an operator, can you actually see what ASPA is doing - or would do - on your network? We built a tool to find out. https://labs.ripe.net/author/ritesh-mukherjee/aspa-is-live-can-you-see-it-w… 3. Community and Engagement – Register for CAPIF 5 The fifth edition of Central Asia Peering and Interconnection Forum (CAPIF 5) will take place from 24-25 September 2026 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

At the meeting, discussions covered a range of topics in network operations, with a special focus on resilience for a region that has seen repeated network disruptions in recent years: https://labs.ripe.net/author/kjerstin-burdiek/ripe-ncc-days-baltics-insight… – Sustaining the Commons in an Age of Digital Sovereignty Digital sovereignty raises legitimate questions about dependency, resilience and control. It can strengthen the Internet when it builds capacity and meaningful choice. It becomes risky when it is pursued as control over the common layer that keeps the global Internet interoperable. https://labs.ripe.net/author/hisham_ibrahim/sustaining-the-commons-in-an-ag… – Local Hubs at RIPE 92: Bringing the Community Together, Wherever We Are Three local hubs at RIPE 92 brought people together to participate in the meeting remotely. We look at what organisers in Bulgaria, Türkiye and Poland learned about bringing the RIPE Meeting experience closer to home. https://labs.ripe.net/author/gergana_petrova/local-hubs-at-ripe-92-bringing… – What Makes NOGs Tick NOGs take many different forms across the RIPE region, but where does their real value lie? Drawing on the results of two 2026 surveys, we explore what NOGs mean to the communities that build them, the barriers they face, and what it takes to keep these groups going. https://labs.ripe.net/author/alastair_strachan/what-makes-nogs-tick/ – NRO Strategy Document 2026-2028 Published The NRO Strategy Document 2026-2028 sets out three areas where the RIRs will work together over the next three years, focusing on issues where collective action delivers the greatest value to the global Internet community. https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/NRO-Strategy-2026-2028-Document-FINA… – RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures Updated The RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures have been updated and are now published as ripe-861: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-861/ – The RIPE Chair Team Reports - Highlights from RIPE 92 From governance and policy to AI and research, RIPE 92 sparked lively discussion across the community.
