Members-discuss complaints
by Sander Steffann 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hi all, The amount of people complaining on the members-discuss list that they never signed up for it makes me wonder how they ended up here. You'd expect that if an organisation became a RIPE NCC member and provided an email address to add to the members-discuss list that the person using that address would know about it. But I get the feeling that most of the people complaining have no idea what the RIPE NCC is, so why would someone at their company sign them up for the members-discuss list?!? From what I can see in the LIR portal there is no confirmation of the email address when adding someone to the list. Just log in to the LIR portal, add an address and "Members discussion subscription added successfully". Could it be that some malignant LIRs are adding random addresses to the list? You'd hope that all LIRs behave responsibly, but I guess that might be too optimistic. In any case, I'd like the RIPE NCC to check the email addresses of those who complain that they never wanted to be on this list. Check which LIR added them, when they were added, whether there seems to be some relationship between the LIR and the email address etc. Either those people should have a discussion inside their own organisation on signing up unwitting colleagues to mailing lists, or there are actually malignant LIRs that the RIPE NCC seriously needs to talk to. See what we can learn from this. I do hope that Hanlon's razor still applies :) In either case: may I suggest the NCC implements a confirm system where people are only added to the members-discuss list after confirming that they actually want to be on it? The current implementation of trusting that what is entered in the LIR portal interface is with consent of the user of the email address apparently is too surprising for some of the users (and yes, I do realise that the number of intentional users is much higher than the number of complainers, but lets try to minimise the latter category) Cheers! Sander

Unifying the LIR Portal and RIPE Database User Experience
by Tim Bruijnzeels 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have completed our integration of the LIR Portal and the RIPE Database web interface. Users will now have a seamless experience when managing their LIR and their resources, and editing objects in the RIPE Database. In the past, the LIR Portal and RIPE Database were maintained as separate applications with their own navigation and authentication. Today the distinction between these two services is no longer as relevant as it once was. The LIR Portal, which was originally intended only for members, also now caters to other resource holders (e.g. RPKI for Legacy Resource Holders and Provider Independent End Users). Similarly, the RIPE Database offers resource management options that were previously only available in the LIR Portal. The two navigation menus have therefore been unified into a single menu that is contextual - users will see only those items that are applicable to them. This functionality is also available for non-LIR users with a RIPE NCC Access account that is linked to an ORGANISATION object in the RIPE Database. This will make it easier for non members to use My Resources and the RPKI Dashboard. You can find updated documentation on our website here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/ripe-ncc-access This latest update is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline the ways that our members interact with the RIPE NCC and manage their resources, as recently discussed on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/unifying-the-lir-portal-and-ripe-dat… Regards Tim Bruijnzeels Software Engineering Assistant Manager and Senior Technology Officer RIPE NCC
