Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Database Requirements Task Force BoF
by Daniel Karrenberg 07 May '20

07 May '20

Shane, TFers, Thanks for holding the BoF and for sharing this. To repeat and expand on my input at the BoF. 1.) I am missing language about evolution of the requirements and the database itself. A high level stock taking exercise like this one that aims to be the basis for a service has to make it explicit that it addresses just about one point in time and things *will* change. It makes sense to spend a few paragraphs on how this will be handled. 2a.) -- ‘Provide registration information of Internet number resources’ is a primary purpose. I would use a title like “Authoritative and Accurate Registry of Internet Number Resources’. As far as I can see it ‘Enabling transfer of IP resources’ should be part of that. 2b.) I suggest grouping a number of the other separate items under ‘Facilitate Internet Operations and Operational Coordination’: - Facilitating communication about usage of the resources - Publishing routing policies by network operators (RIPE IRR) - Reverse Domain Name System (rDNS) - The RPKI Database It is important that we emphasise the RIPE DB is not just a registry but an operational tool. 3.) This iteration seems too detailed for me already. The charter is ‘… The purpose of the document is to establish community consensus at the general level. …’. I think it would make sense for the TF to take a step back and look for the general themes behind the detailed issues. And to look at it from the point of view of the users, first and foremost the primary users, those who register information in the database and use it for operational purposes. Thank you again for working on this. If it was easy it would just happen. Daniel

More News from the NomCom
by Daniel Karrenberg 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

[ For a version of this message with embedded links and for nominee statements, see https://blog.ripe-nomcom.org/ ] The RIPE 2020 NomCom will select two persons for the roles of RIPE Chair and RIPE Vice Chair. We have four nominees who are well known to the community: Filiz Yilmaz, Niall O'Reilly, Nigel Titley and Mirjam Kühne. We have held our second meeting and worked out the plans for collecting input from the community. Here is a quick outlook about what the NomCom will do between now and the RIPE meeting, during the meeting and after. Before RIPE 80 During the coming two weeks the NomCom will have conversations with the nominees and prepare for the RIPE meeting. We want to hear input from the community at between now and the end of the RIPE meeting. This is your chance to influence our selection. The best way to reach the whole committee is by e-mail. If you prefer you can also contact individual members of the NomCom. Of course we will treat all input confidentially. To that end we have even set up a dedicated server, so that we can erase the electronic traces of our work as well as possible once we are done. During RIPE 80 We will participate in the RIPE 80 meeting and give a short report during the community plenary session on Thursday afternoon. On the Friday of the meeting week the NomCom will hold virtual 'office hours' for those who prefer to give input in a meeting and those for whom writing us is simply not enough. Individual meeting slots will be allocated first-come first served. Contact support at ripe-nomcom.org for an appointment. After RIPE 80 Hans Petter Holen has announced that he will resign at the end of April before he takes up his new role as RIPE NCC Managing Director. Waiting until RIPE 81 to transition to the newly selected Chairs, as planned, no longer makes much sense now. Therefore making the selection has become somewhat more urgent. We are committed to work more quickly than planned but not to become too hasty either. Together with the RIPE NCC Executive Board we aim for selection in early June and confirmation by the board soon after. We will regularly report on our progress on this mailing list and the NomCom blog. Daniel Karrenberg Chair RIPE 2020 NomCom
