Call for presentations RIPE 73
by Benno Overeinder 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 73 below or at https://ripe72.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is 28 August 2016. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://www.ripe.net/participate/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 73 will take place from 24-28 October 2016 in Madrid, Spain. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 73. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 28 August 2016. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. 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 - Internet of Things (IoT) 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. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice---in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals 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 panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

RIPE NCC to Support the Sustainability of the IETF
by Nigel Titley 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, During the RIPE NCC Services Working Group at RIPE 72, and at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM), there was a presentation and discussion on the request for the RIPE NCC to support the IETF’s long-term sustainability: https://ripe72.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/services-wg/ The RIPE NCC Executive Board asked RIPE NCC members to discuss the proposal on the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion mailing list, and we would like to thank those who provided their input. The feedback received showed support for the proposal for the RIPE NCC to provide an ongoing financial contribution to the IETF. However, there were concerns that providing a one-off payment to the IETF would not be the ideal way to do this, and that there should be mechanisms in place that would allow the RIPE NCC to discontinue the annual financial support should circumstances change in the future. The RIPE NCC Executive Board has therefore composed the following Letter of Intent, which proposes the annual contribution of EUR 100,000 over the next ten years (2017-2026) to support the sustainability of the IETF. As noted, the proposed contribution will be added to the annual RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget, with regards to which members are encouraged to provide their feedback at the second GM every year. Best regards, Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman ================================= Letter of Intent by the RIPE NCC to Support the Sustainability of the IETF The RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) hereby states its intent to make an annual financial contribution of EUR 100,000 over the next ten years (2017-2026) in support of the sustainability of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). As with all financial contributions that the RIPE NCC commits to activities, this contribution will be reviewed annually and may be amended accordingly. This contribution will be reflected each year in the RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget. The RIPE NCC is proud to support the IETF and wishes it continued success in the years ahead. This letter of intent does not create in any way legal rights or obligations regarding the above described contribution. The RIPE NCC retains its right to discontinue this contribution at any time before the ten-year period elapses. =================================

Additional LIR accounts
by Nigel Titley 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear Colleagues, The ability for RIPE NCC members to again open additional LIR accounts was confirmed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 27 May 2016. At the GM, members approved the following resolution: "The General Meeting approves the ability of RIPE NCC members to create additional LIR accounts." Members had always been able to open additional LIR accounts until the RIPE NCC Executive Board suspended this ability in November 2015. The resolution approved by members at the GM restores the ability to open additional accounts. The RIPE NCC has been working on an implementation plan since the GM. This plan has been put forward to make sure that the ability to open additional LIR accounts is in line with the spirit of RIPE Policy. The Executive Board has reviewed the plan and approved the following conditions being applied to additional LIR applications: 1. Transfer of resources between LIR accounts of the same member will fall under the transfer policy. This aligns the transfer of resources between LIR accounts of the same member with the transfer procedures the RIPE NCC applies to transfers between LIR accounts of different members. The transfer policy will now apply to all transfers, regardless of whether the transfer is between the same or different members. In practice, this means that the IPv4 allocation will only be transferable between LIR accounts of the same member after 24 months. The document ripe-648, "Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member’s Official Legal Name", has been updated by ripe-654 to reflect this alignment (see section 3.5, Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member’s Official Legal Name). You can view ripe-654 at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-654 2. Only one application will be processed at a time. Members can only make an application for an additional LIR account when there is no other application being processed on their behalf. This aligns more closely with the spirit of the "Last /8" Policy. The RIPE NCC will be able to distribute the IPv4 resources more fairly. Operationally, this also allows the RIPE NCC to process the LIR account applications in a timely fashion. 3. An LIR Account Agreement needs to be signed by the member for an additional LIR account. For transparency and due diligence purposes, the Terms and Conditions for the use of an LIR account will be explicitly outlined and the member will be asked to agree to them by signing a relevant agreement. You can view the LIR Account Agreement at: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-ncc-lir-account-agreement More information about multiple LIR accounts can be found in the following FAQs: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/info/faqs/faq-joining https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/tra… If you have any questions about the new procedure, please contact the RIPE NCC at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman
