There is a potentially interesting meeting in Brussels just before Barcelona. It is a meeting of the special so-called rapporteurs group which deals with the ITU Recommendation about international Internet connections (IIC) regarding transit of and exchange of traffic on the international Internet backbone markets. For more details and pointers to documents see: http://europacom.org I am not exactly clear right now if there are restrictions on participation. But I wonder if it would be interesting to try and identify somebody who could come to Barcelona to give a presentation on what was discussed. Gordon

Preliminary Programme RIPE EOF Barcelona 12/13.5.2003
by Daniel Karrenberg 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

The European Operators Forum (EOF) at RIPE 45 will have a quite interesing programme with an emphasis on Internet Routing. Presentations will include - Kurt Lindqvuist on the impact of major changes at an exchange point (Stockholm); - Harsha Narayan on the inlfuence of address space allocation on routingl; - Stephen Kent will give us a comprehensive introduction and overview of Secure BGP. Further we will have a report on the impact of DNS root/TLD servers on DNS service quality based on actual lab measurements by Rickard Dahlstrand. Also there will be at least one opinionated "Food for Discussion" presentation which should spawn a good debate. We will publish a more detailed programme in a couple of weeks time. The important thing to take note of for your travel plans: ** The EOF will start on Monday 12th of May in the morning ** We aim for a good mix beteen strategic long-term and tactical "hands-on" content. Thus we are looking for a few more presentations from practising network operators. See below for more information on presenting. We are also very open for suggestions on what you would like to hear about. We will do our best to solicit interesting presentations on subjects suggested to us. See you all in Barcelona on the 12th and 13th of May. For the EOF "Coordination Group" Daniel Karrenberg ------------ The EOF The European Operators Forum (EOF) exists for the exchange of Internet operations experience. It has evolved from the "information exchange" part of the early RIPE meetings to provide an open forum outside of the work programme of the working groups and the RIPE plenary. The EOF aims to attract presentations relevant to network operators, practical "hands-on" reports, outlines of future developments and small tutorials. Product marketing presentations are not appropriate, user experience reports are. The EOF programme is assembled by an informal coordination group that is always looking for new people who are able to help by attracting interesting presentations and supporting presenters. Contact: Daniel Karrenberg <daniel.karrenberg(a)ripe.net> Presenting at the EOF The EOF wants to attract practical hands-on experience reports. We aim to make turning interesting experience into a presentation as easy as possible. Consider the following: - presentations do not have to be long Something interesting can be said in as little as 10 minutes. This limits the time spent to prepare material and often is a good way to start for first-timers. - support is available We will do our best to support you in preparing your presentation. If you want, we can help structuring your material, help to polish language and arrange for a test-run of your presentation. We can also try to arrange for someone from the same country or region to support you if that is helpful. We can also help you find someone else to present your material in case you cannot make it to the meeting. In short: If you have something intersting to say, we will help you do it! Contact Daniel Karrenberg <daniel.karrenberg(a)ripe.net> for more information. - no product marketing presentations The EOF is *not* an appropriate forum for product marketing presentations. User experience reports which are presented by users are definitely relevant. In-depth technical presentations or tutorials are also possible.
