Call for Presentations RIPE 68
by Filiz Yilmaz 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 68 below or at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is 2 March 2014. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc --------------------- Call for Presentations 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 68 will take place from 12 – 16 May 2014 in Warsaw, Poland. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 68. 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 centre technologies • Network and DNS operations • Internet governance and regulatory practices • Network and routing security • Content delivery • Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees 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. The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ 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 general requirements apply: - Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 2 March 2014, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/guidelines/. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ - 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 panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. ---------------------

Draft: Charter of The RIPE Programme Committee
by Filiz Yilmaz 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, As the RIPE Programme Committee, we have done some house-keeping recently and updated our charter. The most prominent parts of the update are for the reflection of a previous change in the size of the membership of the Committee (from 8 to 12 seats) and for the documentation of the possibility of removal of a PC member based on unanimous vote, following Committee's decision at RIPE 67. Further updates were for wording improvements towards better readability. The updated draft document is at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-600 and is to replace: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-531 We will ask the RIPE NCC to publish the updated draft document as a final RIPE Document on 5 February 2014. Until then, please let us know if you have any comments. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz, Shane Kerr & Benno Overeinder PC Chair and Vice Chairs

RACI @ RIPE 68 - Opportunity for Students and Researchers
by The RACI Coordination Team 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) is providing a number of students and researchers the opportunity to participate at RIPE 68 in Warsaw from 12-16 May. We are offering packages that include meeting registration and paid travel and accommodation, and we are currently seeking applications from across the RIPE NCC service region. We would like to ask for your assistance to raise awareness of the RACI program. Many in the RIPE community have strong connections with academic institutions, and we are keen to make those institutions and their students aware of this great opportunity. RACI gives students and researchers the opportunity to present their work in front of some the leading technical figures in the Internet world, receive feedback on their research from experts and have their work published on the RIPE Labs website for community feedback. The RACI program also benefits the RIPE community by introducing newer members to the community who can give interesting presentations at RIPE Meetings that might not otherwise be seen. The initiative is coordinated with the RIPE Programme Committee to allow the RACI participants to present their research, either during plenary/working group sessions, or in lightning talks at other designated sessions. Students and researchers may wish to present on any topic relevant to the RIPE community, including (but not limited to): - Network measurement and analysis - IPv6 deployment - BGP routing - Network security - Internet governance Students and researchers who are interested in RACI sponsorship can fill out the application form on the RIPE 68 webpages: https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/raci/application/ All applications must be received by Friday, 25 April 2014. Applicants will be informed about the status of their application by Friday, 2 May 2014. Any applications received after 25 April 2014 will be considered for RACI at RIPE 69, to be held in London from 3-7 November 2014. More information on RACI is available at: https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/raci/ Best regards, The RACI Coordination Team RIPE NCC

2-byte Autonomous System (AS) Number Pool Nearing Depletion
by Nick Hyrka 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear colleagues, We would like to share the following statement from the Number Resource Organisation (NRO): In September 2013, the IANA issued its last remaining full block (1024) of 2-byte AS numbers, with 512 going to APNIC and 512 going to Ripe NCC. Of the 65,536 total AS numbers in the 2-byte pool, there now remain just 496. Following a globally coordinated policy implemented in January 2007, the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) began allocating 4-byte AS numbers upon request. In January 2009, a new, replacement global policy went into effect that directed IANA and the RIRs to make no distinction between 2 and 4-byte AS numbers, and to issue them from a common pool. To date, thousands of 4-byte AS numbers have been issued collectively by the RIRs, but there are still reports of issues with the widespread deployment of these 4-byte numbers. The NRO has been working in conjunction with ICANN on the transition from 2-byte to 4-byte AS numbers since 2007 and has publicly advised network operators to upgrade their routers and network management software in anticipation of the increased distribution of 4-byte AS numbers. However, the RIRs are finding that there are still routers out there that do not support the use of 4-byte AS numbers, resulting in some customers coming back to the RIRs to exchange their 4-byte AS numbers for 2-byte AS numbers. As the pool of 2-byte AS numbers is depleted globally, networks will need to rely on 4-byte AS numbers to identify the distinct autonomous networks that make up the Internet’s core routing system. It has now reached a critical point where all network operators must prepare their networks to support 4-byte AS numbers or risk the successful growth of the Internet. Kind regards Nick Hyrka Communications Manager RIPE NCC
