Call for Volunteers to Serve on the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom
by Daniel Karrenberg 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

[Apologies for the repeat. A number of people told me they had missed this message because I sent it from a single purpose address.] Dear RIPE Participant, RIPE will choose its next chair and a vice chair by way of a nominations committee. Ten volunteers, randomly selected from the community, will make that choice with the help of the whole community. These ten people plus a number of non-voting liaisons and advisors will form the NomCom. The NomCom will start to work around January 2020 and make its selection soon after the next RIPE meeting in May of that year. The job of the NomCom is to select people who have what it takes and also have the support of the community. As chair of the 2019-2020 Nomcom, my job is to organise the work and help the volunteers with making their choice. Therefore I call on you to volunteer. Ideally we are looking for about 100 volunteers representing a broad range of RIPE participants. Ten of those people will be randomly selected to serve on the NomCom. To qualify for serving as a voting volunteer you have to have attended three of the five most recent RIPE meetings up to the meeting taking place this week in Rotterdam. For details about the procedures and duties of the NomCom you may refer to documents ripe-727 and ripe-728. The deadline for volunteering is Sunday November 10th 2019. The only way to volunteer is by using the form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ripenomcom Daniel Karrenberg Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom

Re: [ripe-list] Survey to assist the Diversity Task Force work on Code of Conduct: harassment, intimidation, unwanted behaviour
by Amanda 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Just following from Denesh's email... The introduction text on the survey states: People who experience harassment or intimidation often keep quiet, especially if they come from an underrepresented group (e.g. women, people of colour, LGBTQIA+). This creates a perception that there isn't a need to have things like a Code of Conduct and consequences in place for violations. If you have ever experienced or witnessed harassment or intimidation at a RIPE Meeting, please let us know simply with a Y/N. Our intention is to shine a light on the magnitude of the problem so that we can work together to create a safer RIPE Meeting for all. *This is not a reporting tool* If you would like to share an example of your experience, please submit them separately in the comment boxes below. Please do not include any identifying information (like dates or names). This survey will be open until the end of RIPE 79. The results shared will be: - # of responses received - The results of the Y/N question - # of stories submitted No identifying details in any story will be shared. Please do not include these. The data is visible to one person within the TF. The survey and all related data will be permanently deleted at the end of RIPE 79. Amanda

Survey to assist the Diversity Task Force work on Code of Conduct: harrassment, intimidation, unwanted behaviour
by Denesh Bhabuta 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Dear colleagues The RIPE Diversity Task Force has been working on a more robust Code of Conduct to ensure a safe meeting space for all. Part of this work is to raise awareness among the community about why this work is necessary. We have created an anonymous survey with just one simple Y/N question: "Have you ever experienced or witnessed harrassment, intimidation or any other unwanted behaviour while at a RIPE Meeting?" ...that question is followed by open text fields where people can share their experiences if they want. This is not a reporting tool. No names, locations, details or any other identifying text should be included here. The results of the Y/N question will be shared with the community by the TF. We will only share stories that are completely stripped of identfying info as a way to lift the veil on why the work we do matters. If you would like to share your stories, the survey is available at: <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N6S5SJ3> Regards Denesh

Update: Approaching IPv4 Run-out
by Nikolas Pediaditis 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, We would like to give you an update on IPv4 run-out. Today we allocated the last of our contiguous /22 IPv4 address blocks. We still have approximately one million addresses available, in the form of /23s and /24s, and we will continue making /22-equivalent allocations made up of these smaller blocks. Once we can no longer allocate the equivalent of a /22, we will announce that we have reached run-out. We expect this to occur in November 2019. Following our last update in August, we received a very high number of new LIR applications. We have now reached a point where the number of LIRs waiting to be activated is larger than the number of /22-equivalents remaining. This means that some of these LIRs will only be eligible to request a /24 via the waiting list by the time they are activated. We alerted these applicants to this possibility during the application process. Due to the number of new LIR applications still to be processed, we estimate that it could be around eight weeks before we get to an application that is submitted today. To ensure fairness, we are processing all LIR applications (and IPv4 requests) in the order they were received. It is important to note that the delay is only with LIR applications - not IPv4 requests. Existing members can still request their final /22 allocations, provided we still have addresses available. You can find more information on our website: - Our remaining IPv4 pool: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-available-pool - Getting ready for IPv4 run-out: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/getting-ready-for-ipv4-run-out - How the IPv4 waiting list will work: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-waiting-list - Previous announcement: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/getting-read… Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis Registration Services and Policy Development Manager RIPE NCC
