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)

– 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.

3. Community and Engagement

– RIPE NCC Days Baltics Meeting Report Published
RIPE NCC Days Baltics was held from 3-4 June 2026 in Riga, Latvia. 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.

– 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. The RIPE Chair Team reports on the
sessions, the ideas and the initiatives that stood out during the
week.
