Celebrating 25 Years of the RIPE Community
by Serge Radovcic 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Dear colleagues, In 2014, the RIPE community celebrates its 25th anniversary. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many successes RIPE has enjoyed over the past quarter of a century. From the RIPE 1 Meeting in Amsterdam, when 14 people came together with the aim of coordinating IP networks in Europe, the RIPE community has grown to encompass a vast number of people from all over the world who share an interest in the development of the Internet. Over the coming year, we will be asking the RIPE community to help us tell the story of RIPE from its beginnings right through to the present day. We will document the achievements and landmarks of RIPE, recognise those people who have helped with its development and build a gallery of RIPE-related images from the past 25 years. This project aims to celebrate the whole 25 years of RIPE, so whether you attended one of the early meetings in Amsterdam or have become involved in last few years, we would like to get your input. On the RIPE 68 site, we created a form where you can upload your RIPE pictures, give your thoughts on important moments in RIPE's history or share your favourite personal memories of RIPE : https://ripe68.ripe.net/25years/ You can also contact us with your suggestions at <25years(a)ripe.net>. We will commemorate the anniversary at RIPE 68 in Warsaw from 12-16 May 2014 and showcase the contributions from the community. We hope to hear from you. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Survey 2013 - Key Findings and Proposed Actions
by Serge Radovcic 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Dear colleagues, In May and June 2013, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) carried out the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 on our behalf. Over 3,600 people participated, including from 75 of the 76 countries in our service region. We are extremely grateful to all those who took the time to give their input. The OII analysed the survey data and produced a number of key findings. We examined these findings and we now propose a number of action areas to address the issues brought up in the survey. The document detailing all 48 key findings and the actions proposed by the RIPE NCC is now available at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2013/key-findings-proposed-actions The document outlines actions we propose to take, but it should be noted that work continues in all areas. We will also periodically review the list and make adjustments if necessary. In 2014, we will update the document with the outcomes of the actions taken by the RIPE NCC in each area. If you would like to comment on the findings and proposed actions, or on the document itself, please let us know at <feedback(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation, Uruguay, 7 October 2013
by Axel Pawlik 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Dear colleagues, The leaders of organizations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure globally have met in Montevideo, Uruguay, to consider current issues affecting the future of the Internet. The Internet and World Wide Web have brought major benefits in social and economic development worldwide. Both have been built and governed in the public interest through unique mechanisms for global multi-stakeholder Internet cooperation, which have been intrinsic to their success. The leaders discussed the clear need to continually strengthen and evolve these mechanisms, in truly substantial ways, to be able to address emerging issues faced by stakeholders in the Internet. In this sense: - They reinforced the importance of globally coherent Internet operations, and warned against Internet fragmentation at a national level. They expressed strong concern over the undermining of the trust and confidence of Internet users globally due to recent revelations of pervasive monitoring and surveillance. - They identified the need for ongoing effort to address Internet Governance challenges, and agreed to catalyze community-wide efforts towards the evolution of global multi-stakeholder Internet cooperation. - They called for accelerating the globalization of ICANN and IANA functions, towards an environment in which all stakeholders, including all governments, participate on an equal footing. - They also called for the transition to IPv6 to remain a top priority globally. In particular Internet content providers must serve content with both IPv4 and IPv6 services, in order to be fully reachable on the global Internet. Adiel A. Akplogan, CEO African Network Information Center (AFRINIC) John Curran, CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) Paul Wilson, Director General Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) Russ Housley, Chair Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Fadi Chehadé, President and CEO Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Jari Arkko, Chair Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Lynn St. Amour, President and CEO Internet Society (ISOC) Raúl Echeberría, CEO Latin America and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) Axel Pawlik, Managing Director Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) Jeff Jaffe, CEO World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
