Hello, For more than 25 years, the RIPE NCC has been supporting activities and projects for the “Good of the Internet”. Community-driven, non-commercial work has been fundamental to the success of the Internet from its earliest days, and continues to play an important role in making the Internet resilient, secure and accessible for everyone. Under the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC will provide up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation and resilience of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Apply now to get your project funded! The call for applications will close on Wednesday, 31 May 2023 at 23:59 UTC. More details on the application procedure and criteria are available at: https://ripe.net/community-projects-fund If you or your organisation is working on a new or existing project that fits the criteria below, and need some financial support to get it off the ground or keep it going, we want to hear from you! Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE community? Is your project non-commercial in nature? Do you have a clear project plan and timeline? A couple of things to keep in mind: Funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this cannot be the sole expenditure Funding cannot be used for humanitarian aid, donations, or to encourage political reform Funding cannot be used to provide scholarships or cover tuition fees Funding cannot be used to support any form of commercial activity See the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund website for more details! If you’re interested in hearing from our previous funding recipients, we are hosting a RIPE NCC Open House session online on Tuesday, 7 March. If you are thinking of applying for the Community Projects Fund, I encourage you to join this session: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-co… Kind Regards Alastair Strachan RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund Coordinator

An urgent call to action - Do your part and protect APNIC
by Karl Kloppenborg 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

RIPE List, I am posting this because there’s a number of RIPE holders who also have corporations and in turn votes in the APNIC region and the urgency of this is unequivocal. As many are aware, APNIC EC Elections are upon us, but few are aware of the dangers currently ahead. Some of the nominees are attempting to board stack and gain control of the EC. I implore you to read my attached document and do your part by contacting the EC with the provided template. By-laws require a very large voter base to enact, but it is possible. Australia and NZ have some of the largest voter block in the APNIC and enough to trigger a by-law change. I cannot stress this enough; the danger is very real – at the time of sending this email at least five candidates are either directly endorsed by NRS or the company LARUS. You can review this yourself here: https://2023.apricot.net/elections/nominations/ Do your part, pass this email, send this template to APNIC members you know and let's garner the votes necessary to protect our internet and our APNIC. Thank you, Karl Kloppenborg.

Updated RIPE Code of Conduct Process Document
by Leo Vegoda 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Dear RIPE community, Earlier today, the Code of Conduct TF published an updated version of the Code of Conduct Process and Consequences document for review. We revised the text based on community feedback after publishing the previous version in September 2022. The RIPE NCC is updating relevant agreements to indemnify the Code of Conduct Team. As all the comments focused on the Process and Consequences document, we have not changed the Recruitment document that we published at the same time. You can find a blog post summarising the changes and linking to the new draft here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/leo_vegoda/updated-ripe-code-of-conduct-proces… Please review the document and share any remaining feedback by the end of February. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda for the Code of Conduct TF

Solidarity with Turkish and Syrian Members and Community
by Hans Petter Holen 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, I am writing to express solidarity and sympathy with our members and community in Turkey and Syria. Last week saw a natural disaster of monumental proportions in our service region. For those who live and work, and who have family and friends in the affected region, this is clearly a traumatic experience. We are conscious that it is RIPE NCC members who are at this moment providing the Internet services that allow first responders and emergency services to carry out their work, and affected people to access vital information and stay in touch with loved ones. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. For our members in affected areas, we understand that paying invoices, for instance, will be the last thing on your mind, so we ask you not to be concerned and reach out if you need an extension. We will work to support you in this time of need. At the RIPE NCC, we are fortunate to have many excellent staff from the affected countries, and we will do what we can to support them through this period. Should you wish to support the relief effort, I encourage you to find a charitable organisation you support and make a donation. Again, on behalf of all of us at the RIPE NCC, we wish you strength in these difficult times. Kind regards, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC
