Secretary General on the programme and schedule of the Internet Governance Forum meetings. It comprises approximately 50 Members from governments, the private sector, civil society, and technical communities. MAG members are expected to attend two to three MAG meetings in Geneva, ‎Switzerland, in addition to the annual IGF meeting. They should participate actively in the ‎preparatory process throughout the year, through engagement in the online multilateral ‎dialogue among MAG members.

16 Jul '20

Dear colleagues, The European Commission’s upcoming Digital Services Act will impact many of us, and in ways that aren’t yet fully understood. Find out what we discussed during our RIPE NCC Open House last week, when we brought the community together to ask questions, share ideas and discuss concerns about this wide-reaching newly proposed legislation. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/what-the-digital-servic… <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/what-the-digital-servic…> Kind regards, Suzanne Taylor RIPE NCC

RIPE 81 Call for Presentations
by Brian Nisbet 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

Call for Presentations *RIPE 81 will take place online between the 27th - 30th October 2020* The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions and lightning talks. We will be working with the NCC Meeting Team to facilitate BoF sessions, but due to the lack of physical constraints we do not envisage rejecting any BoF applications. There are no plans for workshops or tutorials as part of this meeting. More detail on the presentation formats can be found here: https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ Proposals for these sessions must be submitted for full consideration no later than August 30th 2020. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) ---- Submissions ---- Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/plenary-or-wg/ 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 should 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 - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe81.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. ---- Diversity and Inclusion - The RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct ---- Ensuring that RIPE Meeting values are upheld and that attendees experience a professional, respectful and safe meeting is a priority. Please do read the RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-o… --- If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net .

RIPE NCC to Publish NRO Extended Allocation and Assignment Reports
by Antony Gollan 14 Jul '20

14 Jul '20

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). **** To make sure that the NRO Extended Allocation and Assignment Reports continue to be published to a high standard, the NRO has agreed that this should be managed by one of the RIRs. This will ensure a resilient and well-maintained service and will allow further improvements to be made in the future. The RIPE NCC has agreed to take over this responsibility. You can find the report on the RIR Statistics page on the NRO website: https://www.nro.net/statistics/ While the new file matches the format of the previous one, it will not apply data transformation to the reports that each RIR publishes individually. The NRO would like to thank APNIC and Geoff Huston for maintaining this information over the years. **** Regards Antony Gollan Senior Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Improving the process
by Niall O'Reilly 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Good afternoon, everyone. On 5 Jul 2020, at 20:14, Gert Doering wrote: > Now is the time to improve the process. Certainly. Mirjam and I recognize that we bear the responsibility for launching a review of the process. First, we need to complete the handover from the RIPE Chair ad interim to the new RIPE Chair team. In addition, Mirjam needs to disengage from her responsibilities at the RIPE NCC. As I mentioned on Thursday, we expect these preparations to be completed during August. In the meantime, we shall continue to follow this discussion (no doubt, among others), most likely silently. For now, I just want to thank everybody who has contributed to the discussion so far.

06 Jul '20

Dear colleagues, Following our first virtual RIPE Meeting, we've put together an interactive report providing an overview of various statistics from the event. RIPE 80 At a Glance looks at how registration went in the run up to RIPE 80, gives an overview of key attendee demographics, and shows how people connected to the meeting day by day, session by session. We also provide a comparison with previous meetings and look at the feedback we gathered with the aim of making sure attendees get the very most out of future virtual events. The report is available on the RIPE 80 website: https://ripe80.ripe.net/meeting-statistics/ <https://ripe80.ripe.net/meeting-statistics/> Kind regards, RIPE Meetings Organisation Team

RIPE Chairs Selected
by Daniel Karrenberg 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Dear colleagues, The RIPE 2020 NomCom has selected Mirjam Kühne as RIPE Chair and Niall O'Reilly as RIPE Vice Chair. After interviewing all nominees, hearing substantial input from the community and a thorough discussion during three selection meetings all voting members voted to select Mirjam as Chair and eight out of ten voting members voted to select Niall as Vice Chair. The selection was subsequently supported unanimously by all members of the committee. We closely followed the process spelled out in ripe-727 and ripe-728. We regularly paused to confirm that the whole committee was comfortable with the process and its progress. We were able to choose from a set of nominees who are all very capable and well respected in the community. We expect that the community would support any of them as their Chair. Our selection is in no way a negative statement about the nominees we did not select. We selected Mirjam because the input from the community clearly favoured her. She is very widely regarded as someone who listens carefully to everyone and who helps the community to find consensus and move forward. We selected Niall because of the positive input we received about his track record with the community. Mirjam and Niall convinced us that they would work well as a team and complement each other. The RIPE NCC board has confirmed the candidates in accordance with the process set out in ripe-727. The original time line called for a transition from Hans Petter to Mirjam and Niall during RIPE 81 in October. Hans Petter has since resigned as RIPE Chair because he accepted to be the new managing director of the RIPE NCC; he is currently also serving as RIPE Chair ad-interim. In this situation it makes little sense to stick to the original time line. Therefore we suggest that the outgoing and incoming Chairs arrange the transition among themselves as soon as practicable. We plan to publish the NomCom report about this first run of the selection process in September before our term ends at RIPE 81. We expect to make suggestions for improving the process and look forward to the community discussing and deciding the process for the next iteration. We thank everyone who supported the NomCom, especially all nominees and the many members of the community who made time to give us their input. Finally we call on the whole community to welcome and support Mirjam and Niall in their new roles! Daniel Karrenberg - Chair - RIPE 2020 Nomcom

Online discussion: What Does the Digital Services Act Mean for You?
by Suzanne Taylor 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

Dear colleagues, The European Commission has announced plans for a new Digital Services Act with the potential to affect many different actors in the Internet industry, covering liability standards for Internet intermediaries, a European system (and regulator) for notice-and-takedown procedures, and the role of online platforms in trading harmful products, among other topics. The European Commission is currently holding an open consultation on the act, which runs until 8 September, in order to solicit feedback from all stakeholders. We’re hosting an online dialogue next Wednesday, 8 July from 14:00-15:00 CEST to discuss the details of this newly proposed legislation and its potential impact on the technical community: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/what-does-the-new-digi… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/what-does-the-new-digi…> We’ll be joined by Eva Jordan Vankova from the European Commission, Sebastian Schwemer from the Centre for Information and Innovation Law (CIIR) at the University of Copenhagen, and Athina Fragkouli, who will share the RIPE NCC’s perspective on the Digital Services Act. We hope you can join this interactive discussion, when you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and share your views. Best regards, Suzanne ________________ Suzanne Taylor External Relations RIPE NCC
