Dear all, The RIPE Code of Conduct Team has launched its first Code of Conduct survey to understand how safe people feel at RIPE meetings and how likely they are to report concerns. If you have a moment to answer five quick, anonymous questions - your input will shape what we improve next. We have more details on the background to this work in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/amcconachie/announcing-the-first-ripe-code-of-… But if you want to dive straight into the survey, it's available at: https://forms.gle/fyp9eCzy7jLzdh2m9 Best regards, Andrew McConachie - on behalf of the RIPE Code of Conduct Team

"Thanks for all the fish"
by Niall O'Reilly 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, dear friends, So many of you showed me generous affection and appreciation last week in Bucharest at RIPE91, as I stepped down as Vice-Chair of our wonderful RIPE community, and handed over the responsibility to Anna Wilson. I want to thank you all, and to wish Anna and Mirjam every good wish for their term as RIPE Chair Team. I am sure that their term will be challenging, rewarding, and good for us all. Míle buíochas daoibh uilig. Niall PS. Of course, you've not seen the last of me yet! /N

Draft RIR Governance Document: Preliminary Assessment Document Published
by Ulka Athale 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO) The original announcement can be found at: https://www.nro.net/preliminary-assessment-document-published/ -------------------------------- The preliminary assessment of the draft RIR Governance Document for the Recognition, Operation, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries (RIR Governance Document) is now available on the NRO website: https://www.nro.net/preliminary-assessment-document-published/ The revised draft document was evaluated by the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in order to provide the global Internet community with an overview of possible accompanying implementation requirements that will need to be developed once the document has been adopted. Each RIR will be expected to carry out its own detailed assessment once the document has been adopted. Please also note that while the RIRs offer a range of services to their members and communities, for the purposes of this assessment, only the ‘RIR Services’ as defined in the document are considered to be in scope. We hope this assessment is helpful in understanding the impact of the proposed RIR governance document on the existing RIRs, as well as the steps that will be needed following its adoption and implementation. Regards, Hans Petter Holen Chair NRO EC The Number Resource Organization --------- Kind regards, Ulka Athale RIPE NCC www.ripe.net
