RIPE NCC Survey 2019: Key Findings and Action Areas
by Fergal Cunningham 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey was conducted in May and June 2019. 4,161 RIPE NCC members and other interested parties took the time to participate and let us know their views on how the RIPE NCC is performing and the direction it should be taking in the years ahead. We are extremely grateful to all those who took the time to give their input. Survey Matters analysed the data and published a detailed report with the findings from the survey in October 2019. We examined these and we now propose a number of our own key findings and action areas to address the issues raised in the survey. A list of all 36 key findings is available here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/surveys/ripe-ncc-survey-201… The list provides areas for investigation and we will add the results of those investigations and proposed actions as we develop them. We will also periodically review the list and make adjustments if necessary. In 2020, we will update the webpage with the outcomes of the actions taken by the RIPE NCC in each area. If you would like to comment on the findings and action areas, please let us know at <survey(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Marketing and Communications Manager RIPE NCC

by Nurani Nimpuno 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, As you may be aware, as a result of the successful IANA Stewardship transition in 2016, the IANA Numbering Services are today being managed through an SLA between ICANN and the five RIRs. As part of the result of the IANA Stewardship transition, the IANA Numbering Services Review Committee (IANA RC) was established in 2016. The IANA RC is composed of representatives from each RIR region, and advises and assists the RIRs in the review of the IANA Numbering Services. The IANA services are today provided by Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), which publishes monthly performance reports on the IANA Numbering Services (https://www.iana.org/performance/numbers). Based on these monthly performance reports, the five RIRs have produced the 2019 IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/2019-RIR-IANA-summary-report.pdf The IANA RC IANA 2019 performance report ----------------------------------- The IANA RC is now launching a public comment period of 30 days, seeking comments and input from the community on the IANA numbering services performance and the 2019 IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report. The IANA RC encourages all members of the Internet number community to review the public IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report. Comments on the IANA service performance should be sent to: iana-performance(a)nro.net The IANA RC will publish an annual report in March 2020, as advice to the NRO EC with its evaluation of the IANA Numbering services. The report will be based on the IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report, as well as any input gathered on the performance from the global number community. The public comment period ends on Friday, 4 March 2020 at 23:59 UTC. All public comments will be published on the IANA RC website, and will be considered as input to the final report by IANA. At the end of the 30-day public comment period, the IANA RC will meet and evaluate all input to the final report. The IANA RC report will be published on the IANA RC website: https://www.nro.net/iana-numbering-services-review-committee Kind regards, Nurani Nimpuno Chair, IANA Numbering Services Review Committee References: ----------- IANA Numbering Services Review Committee https://www.nro.net/iana-numbering-services-review-committee/ Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) https://pti.icann.org IANA Stewardship Transition Archive https://www.nro.net/internet-governance/iana/iana-stewardship-transition/ The SLA for the IANA Numbering Services https://www.nro.net/sla Number Community Proposal https://www.nro.net/crisp-final-proposal

Tribute to Bill Manning
by Christian Kaufmann 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Dear colleagues, It was with great sadness that we found out about the passing of Bill Manning this weekend. Bill has played a hugely important role in the development of the Internet since the 1970s, and he has had a great impact on the work of the operator community globally. Since he started his work at Texas Instruments and from his time working with Jon Postel at ISI, Bill has been an innovative and charismatic figure in our community. His record of making a positive impact on various groups and communities such as the IETF, RSSAC, ICANN, NANOG, APRICOT and ARIN is a testament to his energy and enthusiasm for the Internet and the people who work in this sphere. He was instrumental in the set-up of AfNOG in Africa when this was a part of our own RIPE community. Bill was a major contributor to work in the DNS field and especially the Internet's root zones, and he operated the B-root server for many years. Daniel Karrenberg, Chief Scientist at the RIPE NCC, notes: "Bill has been a great asset to the operators of the DNS root name servers. He would often contribute original points-of-view and interesting ideas." >From the tributes to Bill that we've seen throughout our community, it is clear that this originality and constant ability to bring interesting ideas and good humour to his work will be remembered. We hope you will join us in offering our condolences to Bill's family, friends and colleagues at this time. Regards, Christian Kaufmann RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 80 below or at: https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is *23 February 2020*. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. However, on an individual basis, participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship or RACI, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Franziska Lichtblau RIPE PC Chair https://ripe80.ripe.net/ripe-pc/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. *RIPE 80 will take place from 11-15 May in Berlin, Germany* The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 80. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats: https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *23 February 2020*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) ---- Speakers ---- Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. Please note that participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship or RACI, on an individual basis, to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc(a)ripe.net. ---- Submissions ---- Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe80.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and should not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. ---- Diversity and Inclusion - On-Site Childcare and the RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct ---- Did you know that RIPE Meetings now have on-site childcare?

In the name of the RIPE community I thank all these people for volunteering. For 35 of them we have verified that they have attended at least three out of the five most recent RIPE meetings. The ten voting members of the NomCom will be selected by the method specified in RFC3797 based on the numbers in the list above and on the following lotto results of Wednesday, December 11th: Deutscher Lottoblock [https://www.lotto.de/lotto-6aus49/lottozahlen] Swisslotto [https://www.swisslos.ch/de/swisslotto/information/gewinnzahlen/gewinnzahlen…] Österreichische Lotterien [https://www.win2day.at/lotterie/lotto] In the event this method will select a person whose eligibility is not yet confirmed or a person who does not re-confirm their willingness to serve, the next person in the sequence will be selected and so forth. Daniel Karrenberg Chair of the RIPE Nominations Committee PS: In an earlier statement I said that I would use the Luxembourg Lotto. During a trial run today however it became obvious that they are very pragmatic and use the numbers of the German lotto. ;-) In order to have ample entropy I chose to use the Austrian lotto instead.
