Wilfried Woeber Receives 2018 Rob Blokzijl Award
by Axel Pawlik 20 May '18

20 May '18

Dear colleagues, Yesterday at RIPE 76 in Marseille, the Rob Blokzijl Foundation presented the first Rob Blokzijl Award to Wilfried Woeber "For more than thirty years of contributions to the development of the Internet: building and interconnecting networks, sharing knowledge, connecting people, building consensus and helping others to contribute and succeed." The award honours the memory of Rob Blokzijl, the first Chairman of RIPE. It recognises individuals who have made substantial and sustained technical and operational contributions to the development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC service region and supported or enabled others. The awardee receives EUR 10,000 from the Foundation. Speaking for the 2018 Award Committee, Daniel Karrenberg said: "We received a total of ten excellent nominations from the community. It speaks for our community that all of them had considerable merit and the final choice was not an easy one." On behalf of the Foundation, he thanked the members of the Award Committee for their work in soliciting and evaluating nominations. He also thanked the RIPE NCC and specifically Mirjam Kühne for the excellent support in making this first award a success. In a short ceremony, Lynn Blokzijl presented the award to Wilfried, who was visibly moved at receiving this honour. Wilfried, who is officially retired from Vienna University, has built networks in the RIPE region for more than 30 years. More importantly, he has shared his knowledge and experience with many others within RIPE, the NREN community and notably the emerging efforts in Eastern Europe when the iron curtain started to be penetrated by networking efforts. Later, Wilfried contributed significantly to some of the first deployments of IPv6. Besides his technical work, Wilfried also served in various governance functions; notably he was a long-time chair of the Database Working Group, a RIPE NCC Arbiter, and a member of the NRO Number Council. Last but not least, Wilfried has supported quite a number of young students who have gone on to become successful members of the RIPE community, making their own contributions to our shared success.

participating remotely
by Sandra Murphy 18 May '18

18 May '18

I participated remotely this week from the east coast of North America. That meant waking up in the teeny hours of the morning to watch the early sessions and getting to the office in the early afternoon after sessions ended. Take that into account if the following seems grumpy. First. Boy, oh boy, I wish I could have been there in person. Such exciting work, exciting times. Here’s some observations of the experience of remote participation. If there’s a more appropriate mailing list to use to comment, let me know. I much appreciate the provision of video, chat, and transcription. Very much. I did experience technical difficulties. Nothing the RIPE NCC needs to address. Technical difficulties are as likely to be caused at the user end, I’m just reporting. There’s a “contact us” web page, which I used. I suggest a copy go to the sender. - The feeds do work, if not as well, over cellular, when one's regular connectivity fails. Thanks for making sure the web pages are mobile-friendly. - At breaks, when the sessions resumed, I would fairly frequently see errors: the transcript area sometimes displayed an error icon with a message "the event is not active, there is no need to refresh your browser. We are attempting to reconnect”. I tried reloading the page (against the instructions) and waiting for a reconnect, but neither worked. Sometimes the video would not resume. Reloading did not help that, either. I got in the habit of closing the browser and reopening. - Once I tried to make a comment in the chat window, but I got an error that the IRC chat had failed and I needed to reopen the window. Which worked. However, the chat window was showing the status of the wg in the other room and showed the chat for that wg. But the transcript area was showing the correct wg. Weird. Unfortunately, I took no screen shot. - Once I made a comment during question time at the end of a session - that comment appeared in my chat window, but did not get captured in the chat log. A different problem was timing comments. The remote video and audio is about 30-60 seconds behind the transcript. That made making comments at an appropriate time a bit tricky. There wasn’t much time lapse between “any questions?” and “no? next speaker!”. If comments come to mind during the presentation, one can post them early, but that isn’t always possible. And if there were comments to make about comments at the mike, that’s even harder to time properly. That’s life in remote participation, I suppose, and is remedied by email follow up, which I’ve done. But the process could help somewhat if the delay for remote participation could be taken into account. Like: wait at least 60 seconds after asking for questions to see if the remote participants say “yes”. I do not know if that would be too frustrating for those present. Particularly if remote questions are not the norm. One final suggestion. Those relaying questions from the chat room should be as faithful as possible to the question as written. —Sandy P.S. RIPE chat windows are not nearly as chatty as IETF jabber windows.

RIPE Accountability Task Force: BoF at RIPE 76
by William Sylvester 08 May '18

08 May '18

Dear colleagues, The RIPE Accountability Task Force has been examining the structures, processes and documentation of RIPE to ensure that we: - Are accountable to ourselves as a community - Can explain this to newcomers - Can demonstrate this to outside observers At RIPE 76, we will give a brief update on the status of our work during the Monday afternoon plenary. Following the plenary, there will also be an accountability BoF on Monday evening in the side room. There, we will lead a guided discussion to collect feedback on some of the points the task force has been looking at: 1. RIPE community values 2. Consensus in RIPE 3. The role of Chairs 4. Capture 5. Preserving community norms over time (as people retire and demographics change) We invite you to attend the BoF and give us your input. We will use this as we work to publish our draft report to the community after the summer period. It's worth reiterating that the task force has no intention of becoming a working group or any other kind of permanent structure within RIPE. You can find more information on the task force here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-accountability-task-force/ We look forward to seeing everyone at RIPE76 next week. Regards William Sylvester, Chair
