question on ripe document formatting standards
by Niels ten Oever 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Hi all, I wanted to do some research into the ripe document series, but I could not find a repository which contains all ripe documents in one format. For instance the ripe FTP repo [0] contains some documents in plaintext (txt), and some in postscript (ps) and PDF (pdf). Initially I thought this was because the postscript and PDF files contained diagrams and/or tables and thus were harder to render in text (explicitly _not_ trying to start an ASCII art flame war here), but then there are documents such as ripe-74 which is only available in Postscript/PDF, but contains no diagrams. Later, roughly starting from 2006 onward and getting quite prevalent in 2014, there is a trend to almost solely post ripe documents as PDF files. Is there a document that outlines the formatting standard? Or is there another repository which contains all documents in plaintext? Thanks in advance, Niels PS I have done some casual searching about this topic on the mailinglists and the website, but if I have overlooked a thread/doc on this topic, feel free to just point me there!

possible abuse case with our emails / spam from euromoney/capacitymedia
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Hi all, Since a few days ago, I'm getting spam from Euromoney regarding their Capacity events. Note that I'm not trying to advertise them, but before proceeding with a formal complain to the Data Protection Agencies, I want to know if is an isolated case or a massive one in the RIPE community. After several complaints (they didn't respond initially and continued with the spam) and mail exchange, this company is ensuring me today (I copy literally): "This particular contact does not have any purchase or online registration, it was loaded as a prospect from Capacity Media as an attendee for a 3rd party event (RIPE)." A few minutes ago, I've already asked the NCC to confirm if they have provided our personal data, which I doubt, of course, but I want to know if others are getting the same spam, which will mean that they are abusing our mail exploders or something similar ... Thanks!

Paul Rendek Leaving the RIPE NCC
by Axel Pawlik 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Dear colleagues, As many of you will have personal and professional connections with him, I want to inform you that Paul Rendek, our Director of External Relations, will be parting ways with the RIPE NCC at the end of February. Paul has dedicated over 20 years of his working life to the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community, with his influence extending to many areas of the Internet ecosystem. He is a trailblazer in the Internet governance world, establishing links between and among technical communities, business, governments, law enforcement and developing regions of the Internet world. He established the RIPE NCC's Dubai office and presence in Moscow and was instrumental in ensuring the inclusion and involvement of stakeholders from the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus in wider Internet discussions and developments. His work to engage with all stakeholders was matched by an ability to ensure we always had a seat at the table and were able to work for the good of the Internet on the biggest stages. All of this he has done with incredible energy, intelligence and a wicked sense of humour. Fortunately for us, he plans to remain working within the Internet community as a consultant and I am sure he will bring the same energy and dedication to his future endeavours. Our External Relations Manager Chris Buckridge will carry on Paul's work in an acting capacity as we work to determine how best to develop our engagement strategy for the future. I'm confident that the team he has built will be able to continue the great work that he started many years ago. On a personal note, I've counted Paul as a friend and advisor for nearly three decades. I will sorely miss him at the RIPE NCC but I look forward to his continued influence and experience playing a guiding role in the community that has been his home for a long time. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
