Opportunity to respond to EU Cyber Resilience Act proposal
by Suzanne Taylor 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Dear colleagues, We’d like to draw your attention to a proposal put forth by the European Commission to strengthen cybersecurity rules for hardware and software products, called the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/cyber-resilience-act <https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/cyber-resilience-act> Several members of the Internet community have raised concerns over the implications of the CRA for the open-source community. In particular, Maarten Aertsen of NLnet Labs gave a presentation about the CRA during RIPE 85 and Olaf Kolkman of the Internet Society wrote an article that may be of interest: https://ripe85.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/ <https://ripe85.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/> https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/10/the-eus-proposed-cyber-resilie… <https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/10/the-eus-proposed-cyber-resilie…> There’s an opportunity to respond to the European Commission’s proposal until (at least) 27 January 2023: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… <https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…> This is an open consultation, and we would encourage you to share your views if you have an opinion. The feedback received will be passed on to the European Parliament and Council (the member states) as they each develop their own positions on the proposal, before negotiations between the three bodies begin. The RIPE NCC is currently formulating its own response to the proposal, which will include the impact we foresee the CRA having on us as an organisation, but we want to ensure that the wider voice of the technical community is also heard. You can see past examples of the RIPE NCC’s submissions to open consultations here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga…> Please let us know if you have any questions.

by Mirjam Kuehne 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, During the community plenary at RIPE 85, the idea was put forward to form a Task Force to document best practices about how to run a public DNS resolver, mainly in light of an EU proposal to create a public “European” DNS resolver (referred to as DNS4EU). You can find the draft charter on the RIPE website: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/dns-resolver-best-common-practice-… We are now looking for volunteers. A number of community members already showed interest in participating during RIPE 85. If you are still interested or if you would like to put your name forward now, please let me know by 15 January 2023. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair

Updates to RIPE NomCom and RIPE Chair Selection Process
by Mirjam Kuehne 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, One of the recommendations from the 2020 RIPE Nominating Committee (NomCom) was an update of the following two documents, based on the NomCom's experience with the process: 1. The RIPE Chair Selection Process (ripe-727) 2. The RIPE Nominating Committee (ripe-728) In his mail from 17 October 2022 [1], Daniel Karrenberg who has served as the chair of the 2020 RIPE NomCom, proposed some updates for both documents. These changes were also presented and discussed during the Community Plenary at RIPE 85 [2]. The draft documents are now ready for your review. 1. Updated version of ripe-727 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… Changes to ripe-727: - The timeline has been adjusted to be aligned with the text in ripe-728. 2. Updated version of ripe-728 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… Changes to ripe-728: - A wording change tightens the time for getting the NomCom organised from 60 days prior to the consultation RIPE meeting to 90 days prior. This is necessary to enable the full NomCom rather than just the NomCom chair to issue the call for nominations. - The use of a reserve list of volunteers in case voting members resign from the committee has been codified. - The timeline in the appendix has been removed (and updated in ripe-727). - The sections Acknowledgments, Appendix A (About the Authors) and Appendix G (Genesis) have been adjusted to reflect the changes in this updated version. Note: References to other ripe-docs will be updated once the documents reached consensus and will receive a new ripe-document number. If you any comments, questions, suggestions, please raise them know before 14 January 2023. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [1] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2022-October/002671.html [2] https://ripe85.ripe.net/archives/video/972/
