Letter to ICANN - Proposal to Re-engage the AFRINIC Community
by Ulka Athale 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. ------------------------- The original announcement and letter in PDF format are available at: https://www.nro.net/letter-to-icann-proposal-to-re-engage-the-afrinic-commu… ------------------------- Public Letter Sent to ICANN Leadership Regarding Re-engagement with AFRINIC Community ------------------------- AFRINIC is facing governance challenges which need to be addressed with some urgency. Among these is the lack of a functioning board, which requires elections to be held to replace vacant board seats and re-establish quorum. The NRO believes that a free and fair AFRINIC election requires an effective activation of the AFRINIC membership and community towards informed participation. This process is underway, but it requires adequate and urgent resourcing to be as effective as possible in reaching every member of the AFRINIC community. The NRO considers that the best approach would be the launching of a program with the following aims: - Raising awareness and increasing the involvement of AFRINIC’s community in its governance model; - Hosting dedicated events, or collocating with existing community events, aiming to raise awareness of AFRINIC and its governance; - Ensuring high levels of community participation in these events and membership participation in the election; - Identifying capable and experienced candidates to serve on the AFRINIC Board; - Reducing opportunities for capture by any single interest group. To this end, the NRO welcomes the support of ICANN to contribute to the purposes of this program. While the NRO focuses on the above efforts and will contribute resources and leadership as needed, the intention is to collaborate closely with AFRINIC staff under their guidance and leadership to engage AFRINIC members in a fair and neutral manner. The AFRINIC organization and staff need strong support from global and regional institutions to undertake the work on the strengthening of the AFRINIC community and of AFRINIC itself. We thank you in advance for your support for community-based solutions to address the current AFRINIC governance situation. Signed by John Curran 2023 NRO EC Chair ----------------------- Kind regards, Ulka Athale Senior Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Re: [ripe-list] Request for IPv4 subnet

I second this sentiment, it doesn't make sense that an SP for an government entity cannot make use of government resources... To the point that a message like this smells funny to me.

Last Call for RIPE Code of Conduct Process and RIPE Code of Conduct Team Appointment Documents
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Dear colleagues, This is a Last Call for the following two draft documents with adeadline of 3 April 08:00 UTC: - Draft RIPE Code of Conduct: Process and Consequences [1] - Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Team: Appointment and Responsibilities [2] Since the end of the comments period, the RIPE Code of Conduct Task Force made one change to the first document to address a concern about potential conflicts of interest. In section 2 "Assessment Group is Formed", the document now states that "Both the person who made the report and the person who is the subject of the report should be reasonably convinced that there are no significant conflicts of interest among the assessment group." To address another concern, the Task Force verified that the document states that the Code of Conduct Team MUST exercise discretion when evaluating reports. I would like to thank the Code of Conduct Task Force members for all their work and especially for carefully listening to the community when drafting these documents. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [1] Draft RIPE Code of Conduct: Process and Consequences: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… [2] Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Team: Appointment and Responsibilities: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft…
