Webinar Invitation: "Let's Go Virtual!"
by Chris Buckridge 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, The COVID-19 era has seen many major Internet community events move fully online (including RIPE 80, many regional and national NOGs, and RIPE 81 later this year). What does that shift means for how Internet communities work and interact, particularly if circumstances require that we continue with this approach beyond the short-term? The RIPE NCC and LINX are co-hosting a webinar next Tuesday 30 June at 15:00 (CEST) entitled "Let’s Go Virtual!”. Nurani Nimpuno and I will moderate the hour-long session, with speakers including Edward McNair, Executive Director of NANOG, Adam Peake, ICANN Global Stakeholder Engagement, and Fergal Cunningham, who’ll speak a bit about the experience of taking RIPE community events fully online. But the hope is that we’ll have an active discussion with input from across the community. If you’re able to join, please register here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/lets-go-virtual Best regards, Chris —— Chris Buckridge Head of External Relations RIPE NCC

RIPE Working Group Chair Financial Support call for consensus by 15 June 2020
by Hans Petter Holen 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

To follow up on the proposal the community plenary at RIPE 80, to provide financial support Working Group (WG) Chairs if needed, I would like community input. The presentation can be seen at 7:45 into the video at https://ripe80.ripe.net/archives/video/383/ In principle, all RIPE Meeting attendees, including RIPE WG Chairs, Programme Committee members and presenters are expected to cover the costs of participating in a RIPE Meeting. However, in exceptional cases, for instance, if a WG would end up with no Chair during a meeting, a WG Chair can ask the RIPE Chair to request financial assistance from the RIPE NCC. This has mostly been limited to waiving the meeting fee, not for travel and accommodation. The matter was discussed at RIPE NCC Executive Board meeting December 2018 after it was brought to the attention of the RIPE NCC Executive Board through one of its members. The board was positive to provide support also for travel and accommodation if needed, and tasked the RIPE Chair trough EB402 tasked to make a draft procedure. The proposal is modelled after the RIPE Fellowship program and can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/cc/ripe-working-group-chair-financ… If there is consensus from the community on this I will do a formal request to the RIPE NCC for such support.

NomCom has Started Candidate Selection
by Daniel Karrenberg 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

[See https://blog.ripe-nomcom.org/nomcom-starts-candidate-selection/ for a version of this message with convenient links.] Before and during RIPE 80 there were calls for the NomCom to halt the process and calls to re-open the call for nominations. See the archives of the ripe-chair-discuss and ripe mailing lists. The NomCom has listened carefully to these discussions and decided in its 5th meeting to postpone candidate selection and seek community support for continuing the process before proceeding. After further consultation within the NomCom I have published this request via this mailing list on 25 May. The NomCom pondered the whole community discussion again in its 6th meeting and decided unanimously to continue with candidate selection at the next meeting. Last Friday the NomCom has re-affirmed this decision at its 7th meeting and started with candidate selection. The NomCom stresses that it has carefully addressed all suggestions made during the discussions and that it has not taken its decisions lightly or without regard to what has been said. We considered *all* input as well as the current circumstances and concluded that there is no consensus in the community to deviate pragmatically from the agreed process as it is codified in ripe-727 and ripe-728. Now that we have made the decision according to our mandate and the process agreed by the community before, we ask the community to unite and support us in our effort. Daniel Karrenberg Chair RIPE 2020 NomCom

RIPE 81 will be a Virtual Meeting, 27-30 October 2020.
by Hans Petter Holen 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, Following the success of RIPE 80, and with the ongoing risks posed by large gatherings still very much in mind, I have decided together with the RIPE NCC Meeting staff and the RIPE NCC MD, that RIPE 81 will take place as a virtual meeting. We have the support from the RIPE Programme Committee and the RIPE Working Group Chairs in making this decision. This means we are no longer bound by the availability of the venue when setting the date of the event, so after careful consideration, we have decided to change the date of the event. RIPE 81 will now take place from 27-30 October 2020. This change will not only help to ensure that the timing of RIPE 81 is better aligned with other industry events, but it also gives the RIPE Programme Committee, RIPE Working Group Chairs and RIPE NCC staff an extra month to prepare for the meeting, and so to explore options on how to improve the overall virtual experience for all our attendees. We are making this decision now rather than later in the hopes that this will give everyone plenty of time to make plans and come take part in RIPE 81. Best regards, Hans Petter Holen ad-interim RIPE Chair

New on RIPE Labs: RIPE 80: Setting up a Zoom Alternative with AWS
by Mirjam Kuehne 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, Not all of the RIPE 80 attendees were able to use Zoom to participate in the remote meeting for different reasons. We therefore provided an alternative way, which did not rely on Zoom, for people to join in the meeting. Read on RIPE Labs how we did that and what challenges we faced on the way: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/oliver_payne/ripe-80-setting-up-a-zoom-altern… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Call for input on all virtual RIPE 81
by Hans Petter Holen 28 May '20

28 May '20

At the meeting with RIPE Working group chairs on 20 May we discussed my original plan to decide on RIPE 81 as soon as the new RIPE Chair is appointed, but no later than the end of June. The consensus following the discussion the topic was that it would be unreasonable to expect the next RIPE Chair and vice-Chair to be able to take this decision just after the appointment. The PC and WG Chairs will use the upcoming weeks to discuss this, and your input is highly appreciated. The RIPE NCC Executive board meets on 16 June, and I would like to make the decision already at that time. While it is a decision on the location of a RIPE meeting is made by the RIPE Chair together with the RIPE NCC, it is also a responsibility of the RIPE NCC MD and Executive board to take the safety and employees arranging the meeting into account. Please let me know your thoughts by Friday, 12 June. Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen RIPE ad-interim Chair
