2014 Internet Governance Forum Now Underway
by Axel Pawlik 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Dear colleagues, The ninth annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is currently taking place in Istanbul and will run from 2 - 5 September 2014. At this meeting, thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, the technical community, civil society and international organisations from around the world have gathered to discuss a range of issues relating to the Internet. As part of this, we would like to highlight that on 5 September, from 9:30 - 11:00 (UTC+3), there will be a session entitled: “IANA Functions: NTIA’s Stewardship Transition and ICANN’s Accountability Process.” This session is a part of the ongoing process to develop a plan for transitioning the NTIA’s oversight function to the global Internet community. As key stakeholders, it is important that the RIPE community is informed of these discussions and has its voice heard. The IGF workshop schedules and remote participation options can be found here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ More information on the IANA oversight transition can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/iana-transition You can also follow @theNRO for live tweets from the IGF using #IGF2014. Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

JANOG 34 Summary Report and "Let's talk about IP anycast" : http://goo.gl/IbKzkQ Pick up Session: "Measures against Spam after OP25B" : http://goo.gl/uY4lxk The topics discussed are not limited to these two topics of course. Please see the translated overview of the program and the presentation slides (in Japanese but some have visual images and data).

ULA Experience at JANOG 34 http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/slides/slides-90-v6ops-1.pdf Positive findings - GUA + IPv4 (Private) and ULA is harmless (at least for MAC OS) - SLAAC/ULA and DHCPv6/ULA works well - ULA operation/configuration is not hard Challenges - Android devices did not come up without IPv4 - IPv4 only applications still exist (Skype/dropbox) - NAT66 on ULA only network should not be recommended , but it worked If you have any feedback, we welcome comments or questions on JANOG mailing list "janog(a)janog.gr.jp": https://www.janog.gr.jp/mailman/listinfo/janog/ * Subscription page first appears in Japanese but it's possible to switch to English from pull-down menu options on the top right The coming meeting, JANOG 35 will be from 14-16 Jan 2015 in Shizuoka Prefecture.

RIPE NCC Re-Affirms Commitment to Operate K Root Name Server
by Axel Pawlik 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has been providing DNS root name service via k.root-servers.net since 1997. As the global Internet community considers changes to the NTIA oversight of key DNS functions, the RIPE NCC wishes to assure the Internet community that our commitment to providing this service and to coordinating appropriately with ICANN and the other root server operators will not be affected by the outcome of these discussions. The RIPE NCC is a not-for-profit membership association under Dutch law. It is governed by its General Meeting and Executive Board, and is guided by the RIPE community. Root name servers are a crucial part of the Internet DNS infrastructure and the RIPE NCC’s role in this area is supported by the membership for the benefit of the global Internet community. In an open letter to ICANN in 2009, the RIPE NCC affirmed our mutual commitment to coordination of DNS root name service operations, acknowledging that a single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the Internet and to ensuring global reachability: https://ripe.net/s/kr2h We remain committed to the principles expressed in this letter, and will continue working to operationalise them, independent of changes to the IANA stewardship. More information about RIPE NCC's operation of K-root is available at: http://k.root-servers.org/ Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
