Reminder to Test APIs (Phasing Out Text-Based Email Request Forms)
by Ingrid Wijte 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, On 7 October 2014, we announced our timeline for phasing out the text-based email request forms: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2014-October/002890.… As part of this, the RIPE NCC has made APIs available for testing to check whether these are compatible with your work flows. So far, only one LIR has done this. Please be aware that the period for comments ends on 31 January, and the APIs will be deployed shortly after this. We encourage you to test the APIs and send us any feedback before then. You can send comments to<requestforms(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Ingrid Wijte Assistant Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC

Launching the RIPE NCC Academy
by Rumy Kanis 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the launch of the RIPE NCC Academy, a virtual learning environment that allows you to take courses and obtain certificates online: https://academy.ripe.net/ The first course available is the RIPE Database Expert Course. You can sign in to the RIPE NCC Academy with your RIPE NCC Access account (if you don’t already have one, you can easily create one through the link provided). The RIPE NCC Academy is available to everyone, free of charge. Before starting a course, you should know that: - You have 90 days to complete the course from the moment you start it. - We are working to automate the evaluation of all of the activities. In the meantime, some of them need to be checked manually, so you may have to wait for a trainer to review them. - If you’re very confident that you already know all you need to know about the RIPE Database, you can choose to complete the activities without studying the content. - You will earn a certificate when you achieve a score of 70% or better, including all the activities and the final test. - Your certificate will remain valid for three years. The first 100 users to earn a certificate will get a limited edition RIPE NCC Academy Graduate t-shirt. Don’t wait too long - graduate to the next level today! In the coming months, we’ll be making more courses available via the RIPE NCC Academy, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at academy(a)ripe.net. Watch the RIPE NCC Academy teaser at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7K89w8VXCI Happy learning, Rumy Spratley-Kanis, Training Services Manager and Sandra Bras, E-Learning Coordinator — Rumy Spratley-Kanis Training Services Manager RIPE NCC Follow us on Twitter for the fastest and latest RIPE NCC Training news! @TrainingRIPENCC

Re: [ncc-services-wg] [anti-abuse-wg] EU Data Protection

Actually, this is something I'd like to hear the "official" answer to, so let's ask the NCC: Having looked at some resources registered in the ripedb to natural persons and having found that the organisation: objects contain information such as full names, addresses and phone numbers, Assuming that this information is *required* to be there in order to be assigned independent resources, how does the uncontrolled publishing of that data possibly comply with the EU Data Protection Directive and imminent General Data Protection Regulation, especially considering the entirely uncontrolled transfer of such data to non-EU countries (whois lookups!)? IANAL, but to me it looks like a breach of said regulations. rgds, Sascha Luck

NCC Services WG Chair re-election process
by Bijal Sanghani 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hello NCC Services WG, The collective of RIPE working group chairpersons has decided that each RIPE working group should have some rules regarding the re-selection of the chairs. Kurtis and I have come up with the following, we’ve tried to keep it light weight and simple so we can easily change if needed for the next round: The RIPE NCC Services Working Group will endeavour to keep two Chair persons whenever possible. Every two years one of the chairs will offer to stand down to allow new candidates to become Chair. The Chair standing down will be announced via email to the working group mailing list, prior to next meeting. Any community members may volunteer for the available position. During the meeting, the working group itself will by consensus establish the new or re-elected working group Chair. If for what ever reason consensus can not be reached or there are no new volunteers the existing Chair will continue their working group duties. For those interested in volunteering for a working group position, please read the description and responsibilities of a RIPE working group Chair, RIPE-542 http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-542 Please let us know if you have any feedback before or at RIPE 69 in London. Best regards, RIPE NCC Services WG Chairs Kurtis and Bijal
