BoF follow-up: Creation of IoT-Discuss mailing list
by Marco Hogewoning 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, During the Internet of Things BoF in Madrid, several participants commented on the need to strengthen the information exchange on this topic. Noting the wide variety of the topics and concerns that would fall under such a broad term as the Internet of Things, while it the same time too specific for any existing mailing list, it was concluded that the creation of a dedicated mailing list would be a feasible way forward in centralising the information available, while leaving open the option to take specific topics to specialist working groups or other venues. As we announced during the meeting, we have now set up this dedicated mailing list called “IoT Discussion”. The aim of this list is to facilitate the exchange of information concerning the Internet of Things, particularly as it may have impact on the RIPE NCC, RIPE or our stakeholders' operations. The list is also a platform to inform each other about proceedings in other relevant standards bodies or governance structures, and may be used to discuss and formulate common positions among participants on IoT-related topics. If you take interest in this topic or participate in other discussions surrounding the IoT, we would encourage you to subscribe to this mailing list. To subscribe to this list, please visit https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/iot-discussion. The same webpage also gives access to the public archives of this mailing list. Regards, Marco Hogewoning On behalf of the RIPE NCC’s External Relations department.

Gender politics at RIPE
by Malcolm Hutty 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

I'm writing to follow up on the Lightning Talk analysing the sex of participants at RIPE meetings, and in particular the call for ideas for actions for the Programme Committee to take to "improve" the distribution (by which the speaker meant, to increase female participation). First, I will say that I was heartened that the speaker's analysis showed that participation at RIPE broadly matches the industry from which it is drawn. I would have been very disappointed if the predominantly male participation had acted to discourage women in our industry from attending RIPE meetings, and I am happy to see that there is no evidence of that. I do take issue with the speaker's personal claim that we should aim to "be better than our industry" and that we should measure success by whether female participation more closely matched 50% than matched female participation in our industry. And I'm worried by his call for the programme committee to act to move us in that direction. I think we all know where this is going; we've all seen this kind of gender politics in other spheres. Here is my credo. I believe that one of the positive characteristics of the RIPE community is that it is open to, and welcoming of, all participants. Our community has a wholly admirable tradition of robust discussion of ideas, exclusively on the basis of the ideas themselves, where contributions are weighed solely according to their own merits and not according to irrelevant characteristics of the speaker such as race, sex, nationality, or even employer or job title. That is something of which I think we should be proud, and we should jealously guard it against ideological attempts to introduce changes that would undermine it. If we go down a path that asks first for an assessment of the speaker's "diversity" (meaning their sex, race, and so forth), that would be a step backwards. To the female speaker who said she would feel more welcome if there were more female participants, I say this: I hope you feel welcome already. You are very welcome, as is everyone. And I hope nobody would judge how welcome they are as a zero-sum game in competition with some other group or tribe. I hope the Programme Committee does not start to say that contributions from men are less interesting or that presentations by men are less welcome because "we've got enough of you already", as is the clear if unspoken message of any attempt to artificially skew participation.
