Criteria for the Accreditation of Regional Internet Registries
by Athina Fragkouli 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Dear colleagues, As you may be aware, the RIRs have initiated a community-led process contributing to the strengthening of the RIR system and the accountability of the Internet Numbers Registry System. In particular, this process aims at revising the requirements for the accreditation of RIRs described over 20 years ago in the "ICP-2" document. I have published an article on RIPE Labs which provides more details on considerations that prompted this process and the plan for its completion: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/criteria-for-the-accreditation-of-regio… Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, EU sanctions on Russian controlled content require ISPs in member states to “introduce further restrictive measures to suspend the broadcasting activities of such media outlets in the Union, or directed at the Union”. In this new guest post on RIPE Labs, researchers from SIDN Labs - in collaboration with the University of Illinois Chicago, the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), the University of Twente, and the University of Amsterdam - share the results of a longitudinal traffic analysis aimed at better understanding how ISPs in different EU member states are actually implementing these sanctions: https://labs.ripe.net/author/moritz_muller/internet-sanctions-on-russian-me… Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC
