RIPE 66: Call for Papers
by Filiz Yilmaz 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 66 below. Note the deadline, 24 February 2013. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz for the RIPE Programme Committee http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers: RIPE 66 A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 66 will take place on 13-17 May 2013 in Dublin, Ireland. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and Tutorial sessions at RIPE 66. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations - Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses - Data center technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions Attendees of the RIPE meetings are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the Plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for “lightning talks” which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following requirements apply: - Proposals for Plenary talks, BoFs, Panels and Tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 24 February 2013, using the meeting submission system at: https://meetings.ripe.net/pc/ Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require (30 minutes for talks is a common maximum duration, although some talks can be longer). - Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For BoFs and panels, proposals must contain a clear description as well as names of invited panelists/presenters. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most if not all presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE meeting. - Lightning talks should be submitted using the meeting submission system. They must be short (10 minutes maximum) and often involve more timely topics. They can be submitted at any time. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced one day prior to the relevant session. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. ------------------------------------------------------------

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
