NomCom Disbanded - No More Blog
by Daniel Karrenberg 27 May '21

27 May '21

Dear colleagues, Just a short note that the 2020 NomCom is no longer. All data on our server has been securely deleted as have all back-ups, so we are sure any personal data is suitably randomised. In March we published a comprehensive report with a lot of reference material: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2021-March/002170.html At RIPE81 some people including Rüdiger Volk requested that we keep the NomCom Blog available and I promised to do so. It turns out that doing that safely after turning off the original server is a lot more work than expected for a lot of different reasons. Therefore I hope that nobody really insists that we do that. In case you have suggestions on this or you feel the urge to volunteer for doing this work please contact me *privately*. So long Daniel

Jonathan B. Postel Service Award - Nominations due 2 July
by Daniel Karrenberg 26 May '21

26 May '21

Sehr verehrte Kollegen, As many of you know the Internet Society makes a yearly award to ‘to an individual or organization that has made outstanding and sustained contributions in service to the Internet community’. ’The award is focused on sustained and substantial technical contributions, service to the community, and leadership. Concerning leadership, the nominating committee places particular emphasis on candidates who have supported and enabled others in their work.’ https://www.internetsociety.org/grants-and-awards/postel-service-award/ The most recent recipient of this honour from our region has been our former chairman Rob Blokzijl back in 2015. So maybe you can think of another worthy person to nominate? Gruss, Daniel PS: On a similar but different note: We have our own RIPE award too and plan to present another one at the spring RIPE meeting next year. At the moment we are looking for volunteers for the award committee which will make the selection. https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/05/11/2021-award-committee/ . We have some volunteers already. However, some younger people outside the group of long-timers would be very welcome. If you feel connected to RIPE at all, do not hesitate to come forward. There is no requirement for grey hair! PPS: This is worthwhile and interesting work. I find it fascinating to learn about ’special’ people and their contributions.

protein over pablum
by Randy Bush 25 May '21

25 May '21

< rant > [ trying to clarify what i meant at the mic; but probably just digging a deeper hole ] i would not be up at 2am if i did not care about the CoC, DB, ... like you, i think these things are important. and the folk working on them are really good and nice and also care a lot (but i am already married). and they are working hard and really trying and usually succeeding in getting stuff done. so please tell us about it! the content, not the form/process. yes, i could join your mailing list, read your documents (i often do), ... but i have a life and two full-time jobs, and come to the plenary, WG, or whatever at 2am to get a high content summary. i stay up to 3am for content, not form. we are becoming humorless and fear based. i am thinking of making a generic Task Force Report slide deck, where it shows X meetings, Y consultations, Z surveys, and thanks for NCC support. you just put the TF's name at the top, plug in X, Y, and Z, and it's done! because i *care* about the subject, i *really* want to learn of the interesting issues that were found and how they were resolved. what issues remain? what did the TF learn that was unexpected? protein, not process. i trust you for the process, and really doubt you can make it interesting to me at 2am. yes, 42 engineers will have opinions on these; and half those opinions will be um, questionable. and some, such as this one, will be presented a bit roughly. sorry. welcome to a world filled with us funny monkeys. you did want input. and you get the big bucks for filtering and using it. but talk is cheap. how can i help TF folk to feel comfortable enough to put your content out? i just heard a svp of a massive net company ask their team and peers "what would you do if you were not afraid?" randy --- randy(a)psg.com `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd randy(a)psg.com` signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header butchery

RIPE Community Resilience in a Pandemic: Nature is Healing (article 7/10)
by Vesna Manojlovic 21 May '21

21 May '21

Dear colleagues and friends, With RIPE 82 closing this week - a third online meeting! - the  feelings about "what makes us a community" and maintaining mental and  physical health, in addition to keeping the Internet working, are still  very important, even if the end of the pandemic is in sight. In March, I wrote an article "You are Not Alone". In it, I mapped the OSI  Networking Model and Maslow's pyramid of needs. I've been publishing  articles about each layer since, and today's topic is Layer 6: Presentation Layer / Need for Beauty (aesthetic) which translates, using poetic freedoms, to "Nature is Healing" https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-nature-is-heal… Share and Enjoy, Vesna Manojlovic  Community Builder   RIPE NCC Coming up:  > Layer 7: Application / Need for (self) actualisation   > Layer 8: Financial / Need for Contribution (community-actualisation)  > Layer 9: Political / Need for Justice (cultural perpetuity) Previous articles: You are Not Alone:  https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/you-are-not-alone-ripe-community-resili… > Layer 1: Physical / Physiological needs (Health, Mental & Physical)   https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-community-resilience-physical-layer > Layer 2: Data Link / Safety needs   RIPE Community Resilience: Safety Net   https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-safety-net/ > Layer 3: Network / Belonging needs  RIPE Community Resilience: Network and Belonging  https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-network-and-be… > Layer 4: Transport / Esteem needs   RIPE Community Resilience: SYN-ACK, Boundaries and Doing Less   https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-syn-ack-bounda… > Layer 5: Session / Need for Understanding (cognitive)   RIPE Community Resilience: Embracing Neurodiversity   https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-embracing-neur…
