RIPE NCC Survey 2013 - Key Findings and Results
by Serge Radovcic 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey 2013 collected feedback from more than 3,600 of our members and stakeholders across 75 of the 76 countries in our service region. The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) analysed the survey data and produced a list of 48 key findings, which we published in November 2013. The RIPE NCC examined these findings, took action on them where appropriate and produced a report on these actions. The RIPE NCC Survey 2013 Key Findings and Results document is now available: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/info/surveys/ripe-ncc-surv… By publishing this document, we aim to increase transparency around the actions taken by the RIPE NCC as a result of the survey. While all of the key findings were addressed and much progress has been made, there are still areas that can be further improved. The RIPE NCC will continue to explore ways of improving the services we provide to our membership and to the RIPE community. If you would like to comment on the findings and actions, or on the document itself, please let us know at <feedback(a)ripe.net>. In November 2014, the RIPE NCC will carry out a number of lightweight focus groups around our service region to look at the RIPE NCC's progress and identify areas for further action. A report will be produced following these focus group sessions and will be shared with the membership. The RIPE NCC aims to survey its members and stakeholders every three years. The next survey is scheduled for mid-2016. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Call for Presentations RIPE 69
by Filiz Yilmaz 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 69 in London below. The deadline for submissions is 31 August 2014. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc --------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 69 will take place from 3- November 2014 in London, UK. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 69. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: • IPv6 deployment • Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations • Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses • Data centre technologies • Network and DNS operations • Internet governance and regulatory practices • Network and routing security • Content delivery • Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions 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 not attempt a product demonstration. The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for “lightning talks”, which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following general requirements apply: - Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 31 August 2014, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/guidelines/. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ - Proposals for talks 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 panelists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. ---------------------

by Axel Pawlik 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Dear colleagues, The ninth annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is currently taking place in Istanbul and will run from 2 - 5 September 2014. At this meeting, thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, the technical community, civil society and international organisations from around the world have gathered to discuss a range of issues relating to the Internet. As part of this, we would like to highlight that on 5 September, from 9:30 - 11:00 (UTC+3), there will be a session entitled: “IANA Functions: NTIA’s Stewardship Transition and ICANN’s Accountability Process.” This session is a part of the ongoing process to develop a plan for transitioning the NTIA’s oversight function to the global Internet community. As key stakeholders, it is important that the RIPE community is informed of these discussions and has its voice heard. The IGF workshop schedules and remote participation options can be found here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ More information on the IANA oversight transition can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/iana-transition You can also follow @theNRO for live tweets from the IGF using #IGF2014.

RIPE NCC Re-Affirms Commitment to Operate K Root Name Server
by Axel Pawlik 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has been providing DNS root name service via k.root-servers.net since 1997. As the global Internet community considers changes to the NTIA oversight of key DNS functions, the RIPE NCC wishes to assure the Internet community that our commitment to providing this service and to coordinating appropriately with ICANN and the other root server operators will not be affected by the outcome of these discussions. The RIPE NCC is a not-for-profit membership association under Dutch law. It is governed by its General Meeting and Executive Board, and is guided by the RIPE community. Root name servers are a crucial part of the Internet DNS infrastructure and the RIPE NCC’s role in this area is supported by the membership for the benefit of the global Internet community. In an open letter to ICANN in 2009, the RIPE NCC affirmed our mutual commitment to coordination of DNS root name service operations, acknowledging that a single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the Internet and to ensuring global reachability: https://ripe.net/s/kr2h We remain committed to the principles expressed in this letter, and will continue working to operationalise them, independent of changes to the IANA stewardship. More information about RIPE NCC's operation of K-root is available at: http://k.root-servers.org/ Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
