Read 'A History of Mailing Lists in the RIPE Community' on RIPE Labs
by Ilke Ilhan 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

Hello, The RIPE mailing lists have been an essential part of the work of the RIPE community for more than 30 years and are still being widely used. All the policies that determine how the Internet works in our region, and all the decisions that have shaped how this community operates, have in one way or another been discussed on these lists. Given their importance, we thought it might be interesting to dive into the mailing list archives and put together an analysis of participation through the years. If you'd like to read more, we just published an article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/ilke-ilhan/a-history-of-mailing-lists-in-the-r… Cheers, Ilke

Anti-Abuse WG: Re-Chartering Discussion: Consensus Decision & Next Steps
by Brian Nisbet 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Good Afternoon, This is a copy of a post I sent to AA-WG earlier today. Please send any reactions or comments to anti-abuse-wg(a)ripe.net Following on from the list discussion pre-RIPE 88, the discussion at the meeting, and the subsequent refining of the proposed charter and further discussion, the WG Co-Chairs, after discussion with the RIPE Chair Team, are declaring consensus on the re-chartering and re-naming of the WG. The charter is as posted to the group on the 29th of July by Markus: ************* The Security Working Group is committed to fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and addressing security challenges within the RIPE community. The primary objective of the WG is to enhance the security, resilience, and stability of the Internet infrastructure within our region. Tackling abuse of Internet infrastructure and resources is a core goal of the WG, as well as: - Collaborating with stakeholders to develop and advocate for best practices, guidelines, and standards for securing Internet resources - Facilitating information sharing and cooperation among relevant entities - Providing education, training, and outreach initiatives to raise awareness of security issues and promote best practices adoption ************* and we are confirming that the new name of the WG will be the RIPE Security Working Group. Our first hybrid meeting will be at RIPE 89 in Prague and, between then and now we'll sort out the logistics of the change including mailing lists, websites, fancy logos, branded merchandise etc. etc. There will be further communications on this, of course, but the current plan is to migrate this list, in the whole part, to the new WG, meaning no action would be required on the part of the subscribers. More on that as we have it. I'd like to thank my fellow Co-Chairs, the RIPE Chair Team, the NCC and, of course, the wonderful WG members, for all your help with this discussion, decision & process. I would also like to thank everyone who has been a part of the Anti-Abuse Working Group over the years for your discussion and work. A lot has happened and been done since we rechartered from Anti-Spam to Anti-Abuse in 2008 and it absolutely would not have happened without the community! Thank you, Brian Co-Chair RIPE <s>Anti-Abuse</s> Security Working Group Brian Nisbet (he/him) Service Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network North Dock Two, 93-94 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, D01 V8Y6 +35316609040 brian.nisbet(a)heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.

Appointment of Chair of RIPE Nominating Committee 2025
by Ondřej Filip 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jan Žorž as the Chair of the RIPE Nominating Committee 2025. This decision is also documented in the minutes of the 177th RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting, which will be published by the RIPE NCC. The RIPE Nominating Committee 2025 will be responsible for the process of selecting the RIPE Chair and Vice Chair, as the five-year terms held by Mirjam Kühne and Niall O'Reilly will come to an end by RIPE 91, taking place in Autumn 2025. The RIPE Chair selection process is documented in ripe-787 [1]. As NomCom Chair, Jan will be responsible for ensuring that the nominating committee completes its assigned duties and performs in the best interests of the RIPE community, as described in ripe-788, the document outlining the composition, roles and responsibilities of the RIPE Nominating Committee [2]. Jan is a familiar face in the RIPE community, and I am confident that the 2025 process is in a safe pair of hands. This is a task that requires a considerable time commitment, and I thank Jan for volunteering to steer this important community process. The Chair of the 2020 NomCom, Daniel Karrenberg, will serve as an advisor to the current committee. Kind regards, Ondřej Filip RIPE NCC Executive Board Chair [1] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-787/ [2] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-788/
