[news] Update on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013
by Axel Pawlik 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Dear colleagues, I'd like to give you an update on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013. Firstly, I would like to thank all those who responded to the survey. Over 3,000 people from 114 countries participated, including from 75 of the 76 countries in our service region. This is by far the biggest and most diverse response we've had to any of our surveys. Most importantly, it gives us a huge amount of feedback on our services and activities which we can use to improve our offerings and develop our strategy for the years ahead. Work on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 began with focus groups and interviews that were carried out by independent consultants Desiree Miloshevic and John Earls. The questions in the survey come mainly from the concerns and areas of interest raised in these meetings by members of the RIPE NCC and other interested parties such as government and law enforcement representatives. The survey itself was conducted on our behalf by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII). The OII has sent the raw survey data with all identifying information removed to the RIPE NCC. All the raw statistical data and open comments will be included in the main survey report, which will be shared by the OII in the coming weeks. A report on the focus groups and interviews written by the independent consultants will also be included with the survey report. We are currently using the survey data to develop the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2014. This document outlines all the activities the RIPE NCC proposes to undertake in 2014, along with their associated costs. It will be published and announced to the membership in September. Members will be asked to discuss and give feedback on the Draft Activity Plan and Budget via the members-discuss mailing list. The document will be further discussed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting, which takes place on 16 October 2013. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will incorporate the feedback received into the final Activity Plan and Budget, which will be finalised in December. If you have any questions about the survey, or the Draft Activity Plan and Budget, please respond to this email. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Extended
by Serge Radovcic 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Dear colleagues, The closing date for the fourth annual Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey has been extended to 9 August 2013. Currently the number of respondents from the RIPE NCC service region is slightly below that of previous years and it would be great if a similar or larger sample size is achieved. The survey is being run by the Number Resource Organisation (NRO) and will be used to gain a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration, along with future deployment plans. The survey is similar to previous years which will enable a comparison of progress. There are a maximum of 30 questions that will take around 20 minutes to complete. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer. You can take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2013 The results of the survey will be presented and discussed widely, with the support of the RIPE NCC and the other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions about the survey, please email <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Executive Board meeting summary notes and minutes
by Nigel Titley 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Executive Board had its 89th meeting on 25 June 2013. The draft minutes are available at: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/executive-board/minutes/2013/minutes-8… The minutes of all Board meetings are public, but we would like to announce the draft minutes of our latest meeting so you will be up to date with the Board’s thinking and ideas on all RIPE NCC-related matters. As requested by the membership, we are planning to provide more transparency on the discussions and decision-making processes in the Executive Board, so we will announce a summary of the meetings to the member mailing list from now on. If you would like to give us your feedback directly, you can mail us at <exec-board(a)ripe.net>. You can also discuss matters among the whole membership at<members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. With this in mind, I’d like to summarise the main items from the latest Executive Board meeting. Please see the draft minutes for further details on all these items. - The RIPE NCC will publish a Transparency Report that outlines all requests and subsequent actions from law enforcement agencies received in 2012. This will be published annually from now on. - Review of the RIPE NCC financial reserve levels, and decisions regarding those reserves, will take place and be made known to the membership as soon as discussion with the Dutch tax authorities has concluded. - The Board agreed that an increase to a maximum of seven RIPE NCC Executive Board positions would be appropriate. The Board will propose a resolution to change the Articles of Association to allow for this increase at the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting in October 2013. - The Board agreed with the RIPE NCC Senior Management’s proposed augmentation of the Activity Plan and Budget 2014 to include labelling activities as "New Activity", "Expanding Activity", "Ongoing Activity", "Scaling Down Activity" and "Planned Ending Activity". The Board hopes these labels will add clarity and transparency regarding RIPE NCC activities. - The Board unanimously approved a proposal for additional resources to be used in 2013. These are for the expansion of RIPE NCC regional representation and for addressing the issues associated with internal legacy systems. - The Board determined that organisations in Russia that wish to move address space away from ROSNIIROS should be able to do so outside of RIPE transfer policies. - The Board approved a change so that one Board member, in conjunction with the CFO and CEO, can authorise a transfer from deposits. The Board approved an update to the Treasury Statute in accordance with this decision. - The Board agreed to reduce RIPE Meeting fees to EUR 350 and RIPE Meeting Dinner ticket fees to EUR 50. Kind regards, Nigel Titley Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board

[news] The Fourth Global IPv6 Deployment Survey is Now Open
by Serge Radovcic 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, As in previous years, the Number Resource Organisation (NRO) invites you to participate in the 4th consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2013 The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the Internet community is going, and what can be done to ensure it is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. We hope this survey will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future deployment plans for IPv6. This year’s survey is similar to those conducted in previous years (2010, 2011 and 2012), and will enable a comparison of progress. What is clear is that community participation does contribute to a better understanding of how IPv6 is being used. In 2012, 91% of the over 1,500 respondents indicated that they were interested in participating again in the 2013 survey. This survey has a maximum of 30 questions and will take about 20 minutes to complete. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. The survey will be open for a month and will close on 31 July 2013. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed widely, with the support of your Regional Internet Registry (RIR). We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
