TNC15 news item
by Karim Mostafi 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Good afternoon, Please find below a news release that we'd like to be sent out on the Ripe list. It's my first time, so if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me. Best regards, Karim Mostafi Communications Officer GÉANT Association, Amsterdam Office (formerly TERENA) Singel 468D, 1017 AW Amsterdam, the Netherlands Email: mostafi(a)terena.org <durnford(a)terena.org> Tel: +31 (0) 20 530 4488 GÉANT Association Networking. Services. People Learn more at: http://www.geant.org START NEWS RELEASE --------------- After having opened the call for proposals for TNC15 on 6 October, the Programme Committee have received a good number of responses already. More proposals are welcome until the deadline of 28 November though, so we encourage everyone to submit a proposal too! This year, you can contribute more ideas to help shape the conference than ever before: In addition to the usual opportunity to submit presentation abstracts, you can now also propose entire sessions. And rather than waiting until next year to submit ideas for lightning talks and posters, you can also do this immediately. The online submissions tool has been improved to provide one unified system to support all these changes. 28 November 2014 is the deadline for submitting presentation abstracts and session proposals. The deadline for submitting proposals for posters and lightning talks is 15 April 2015. TNC15 will be held in Porto from 15-18 June 2015, hosted by FCT|FCCN, Portugal’s unit for the operation of the National Research and Education Network (NREN) within the funding agency for science and research in Portugal. The theme of TNC15 will be ‘Connected Communities’. All proposals must be submitted in English, the official language of the conference, and should be on subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology and its uses in the research and education community. The topics described below are an indication of the scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. Connected Communities Today, NRENs find themselves at an exciting crossroads in society. Not only do they provide the basic network infrastructure on which big science and big data build, but they also address the requirements of ever-increasing and more diverse communities of Internet end users in the wider research and education areas. Many questions around cloud computing, software defined networking, mobility, ‘over-the-top’ and more remain unanswered, and their impact on the NREN landscape and their potential to address the needs of the users are still unclear. All of this in a time when privacy and security are not a given. With the TNC15 Call for Proposals we invite you to explore the challenges the research and education networking community faces along the following themes: - Success factors for NRENs - Shining the light on Dark IT - Connecting life, the universe and everything - Control in the connected world - Deconstructing the network The full details are included in the print version of the Call for Proposals (pdf) <http://www.terena.org/gfx/TNC15-CfP-rgb.pdf>. Please feel free to share this among your contacts! Submit TNC15 proposals Upload your proposals via the TNC15 submit <https://tnc15.terena.org/submit> page. Other ways to participate - Sponsorship - For information please contact Gyöngyi Horváth <horvath(a)terena.org> - Demonstrations and exhibits - companies or projects wishing to participate should contact: tnc15(a)terena.org - Side meetings - If you wish to organise a meeting or workshop immediately before, after or around TNC15, please contact Gyöngyi Horváth <horvath(a)terena.org> before 15 January 2015.

ASO AC Call for Nominations for Seat 9 on the ICANN Board
by Axel Pawlik 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, Consistent with the ASO Memorandum of Understanding and ICANN Bylaws, the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) calls for nominations for Seat Number 9 on the ICANN Board of Directors. Nominations will close at 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 31 December 2014. The time frame for the selection process is as follows: - Nomination Phase 24 October 2014 to 31 December 2014 - Comment Phase 1 January 2015 to 31 March 2015 - Interview Phase 1 February 2015 to 31 March 2015 - Selection Process 1 April 2015 to 17 April 2015 - Due Diligence Review 18 April 2015 to 31 May 2015 - Announcement no later than 1 June 2015 The ICANN Bylaws state that no two directors selected by a Supporting Organization can come from the same Geographic Region. Because the ASO AC selection for Seat 10 is from the APNIC region, nominees for Seat 9 cannot also come from this region. All candidates must sign a Letter of Certification declaring that they are of good character. The selected candidate will undergo an independent due diligence review by an ICANN contractor, and announcement of the candidate will follow once this review has been successfully completed.

IANA Stewardship: Draft RIPE Proposal Published
by Chris Buckridge 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, An initial working draft of the RIPE community proposal on IANA stewardship has been posted to the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. This text should not be regarded as final - it is intended to act as a basis for discussions over the coming weeks. There will also be a dedicated session at RIPE 69 in London on Thursday, 6 November, to discuss these issues. Remote participation will be available for those unable to be present. Anyone with an interest is encouraged to provide feedback on this draft proposal via the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. You can subscribe to this list at: http://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/cooperation-wg/ Best regards, Chris Buckridge, RIPE NCC RIPE Community IANA Stewardship Proposal [DRAFT] ———————————————————————— The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to work with the other RIRs to produce a common proposal for a legally binding agreement (such as a Service Level Agreement) between ICANN and the RIRs to replace the Internet number-related elements of the ICANN-NTIA agreement. This proposal should meet the requirements of the Request For Proposals (RFP) produced by the IANA Stewardship Transistion Coordination Group (ICG). The proposal should bring the provisions of the agreement related to the services and service levels up-to-date with current requirements where necessary. This work should be coordinated with the other users of the IANA function as much as practical, with the aim of producing a proposed arrangement that is compatible with the proposed arrangements of the other IANA users. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC and the other RIRs keep it informed about progress and content of the proposal. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to complete the proposal and to submit it to the ICG before 15 January 2015.

by Paul Rendek 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has published a series of questions and answers that address some key issues surrounding Regional Internet Registry (RIR) accountability and governance. This follows the publication of an RIR Governance Matrix in August 2014. These two documents provide stakeholders with a solid overview of existing RIR governance structures. You can find the Q&A’s here: https://www.nro.net/about-the-nro/rir-accountability You can find the RIR Governance Matrix here: https://www.nro.net/about-the-nro/rir-governance-matrix Issues of governance and accountability are of particular relevance within the context of the ongoing IANA oversight transition discussions. This process has placed an important focus on the accountability of all Internet administrative organisations. Kind regards Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC

Unwanted Traffic Removal Service (UTRS)
by John Kristoff 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

[ Apologies if you have seen this elsewhere already - jtk ] Friends and colleagues, Last week I briefly discussed a new project we've recently launched and for which invited participation from the NANOG 62 attendees. This is a not so subtle wider request for consideration. UTRS is essentially a community RTBH that people have suggested to us would be a good service to provide, so we're giving it a go. The lightning talk page has the slide deck I presented: <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstract?id=2436> I've also put some additional technical detail here: <http://www.cymru.com/jtk/misc/utrs.html> There was a brief discussion, mostly criticism and that is fine, that took place on the NANOG list you may wish to review. If you have an assigned ASN and this sounds like something you or your network would like to take advantage of, drop me a line, I'd sure like to hear about it. If you think this is a terrible idea and want to express all that is wrong with it, tell me that too, I can take it. Even if you're unsure if you would ultimately deploy it in production, but are interested in testing it, do contact me. We won't expend energy on this project and will drop it if we there isn't sufficient interest from the community, but enough trial users would be encouraging. Kindly, John
