16 Jan '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, If you plan to attend RIPE 66 in Dublin (13-17 May), we advise that you book your hotel accommodation as soon as you can. There are two major rugby finals taking place the day after RIPE 66 ends (Amlin Challenge Cup and Heineken Cup Final) and we anticipate that hotel rooms in Dublin could go quickly because of this. The room booking form for the Burlington Hotel, our venue for RIPE 66, along with alternative hotel options, can be found here: https://ripe66.ripe.net/venue/hotels/ More information on RIPE 66 can be found at: <https://ripe66.ripe.net> Registration for RIPE 66 opens on Wednesday, 23 January. Kind regards, RIPE Meeting Team

[news] RIPE NCC Member-only Services
by Axel Pawlik 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Dear RIPE NCC members, At the General Meeting on 26 September 2012, the RIPE NCC membership voted to approve the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2013. Accordingly, Direct Assignment Users and non-RIPE NCC members that used NRTM and DNSMON services in 2012 were asked to become RIPE NCC members. The implementation of this process is now complete. All customers who did not terminate their service have either completed the process of becoming a RIPE NCC member or are in the process of doing so. Of 195 Direct Assignment Users, 166 decided to become RIPE NCC members. The other 29 decided to terminate their agreement. Of nine non-member NRTM users, one decided to become a RIPE NCC member and the rest decided to terminate the service. All seven non-member DNSMON users decided to become RIPE NCC members. The RIPE Document "Closure of Member and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources" has been updated to reflect the fact that there are no longer Direct Assignment Users. This document is available at: <https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-578/> --------------------------------- RIPE Database Proxy Service --------------------------------- The RIPE NCC also requested that users of the RIPE Database Proxy Service should become RIPE NCC members. Following discussion on this issue on various mailing lists, it was decided that the proxy service will retain its 2012 status as a free service available to non-RIPE NCC members until further membership and community discussions have taken place. Further details on the status of the proxy service are available at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2013-January/001960.…> ---------------------- Invoices for 2013 ---------------------- On 10 January, the RIPE NCC will send its members their invoice for the 2013 service fees. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] NRO Observations on WCIT-12 Process
by Axel Pawlik 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

________________________________________________________________________ NRO Observations on WCIT-12 Process ________________________________________________________________________ The Number Resource Organisation (NRO) issued a statement on the outcomes of the recent World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) 12 process expressing its concern about aspects of the meetings, in particular, events from the last few days of the conference. Unfortunately, anticipated discussions were eclipsed by other debates, and did not satisfy initial expectations that: 1. WCIT would have no bearing on the internet, its governance or its content, and 2. The event would allow all voices to be heard. Importantly, the NRO also expressed concern that open multi-stakeholder conduct did not occur. The NRO strongly supports the WSIS 2005 principles on multi-stakeholder Internet governance, and will continue to participate in the ITU in expectation that the ITU's processes can evolve visibly and rapidly towards these accepted principles. For more information, please see the statement in its entirety here: http://www.nro.net/news/nro-observations-on-wcit-12-process Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC On behalf of the NRO Secretariat
