Charter for new RIPE "anti-spam" Working Group: Final Draft
by John Martin 18 May '98

18 May '98

Please find attached the final draft of the charter for the proposed anti-spam WG which I plan to present at the plenary on Tuesday or Wednesday for approval. Thanks to James for agreeing to act as chair. Rgds, John -- Charter for new RIPE Working Group: anti-spam Chair: James Aldridge, JA47 1. Aim The problem of "spam" on the Internet is well known to almost all users [Vix98]. Its use (abuse) is increasing and in many cases it can cause severe technical and operational problems to network operators and users; in particular those hosts which are target as email "relays". Since technical measures to combat this network abuse have not been widely deployed, it was proposed at a BoF session on the subject at RIPE 29 [spamBoF98], to form a Working Group which would aim to tackle the problem from two non-technical angles: * To develop a "Code of Conduct" to which ISPs might agree to adhere. It is foreseen that this document might be used as an indication that a signing party would make efforts to ensure that their customers are not responsible for abuse of the network resources of others or that they would be prepared to take actions to combat network abuse. * To make a recommendation as to the feasibility and usefulness of a "Centre for European Network Abuse Resolution (CENAR)". This centre would not handle individual abuse complaints, but might, for example, provide a conflict resolution service if ISPs are unable to resolve issues regarding abuse complaints themselves (for instance an ISP does not co-operate in abuse- complaints matters). The Centre could also help with deployment of technical solutions and might pre-empt governmental regulation through the perception of a degree of "self governance" within the European ISP community. The proposed working group would define the statutes, target audience, workplan and propose a financial model for such a service. 2. Who can participate The work of this group will be carried out principally by email. It is proposed to meet at the RIPE meetings in order to finalise any documents. Participation in RIPE working Groups is open to all. To join, send a message to majordomo(a)ripe.net containing the text: subscribe anti-spam. The first face-to-face meeting will be at RIPE 31. 3. Workplan This charter should be presented for approval at the plenary session of RIPE 30. If approved at the plenary, a Working Group would be formed with the nominated chair. This working group would be expected to work on the two issues in parallel and would aim to have at least some draft documents ready for discussion at RIPE 31. 4. References [spamBoF] Minutes of the BoF session at RIPE 29 entitled, "Deployment of Anti-spam measures".

Looking for sites interested in hosting a test-box
by Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE-NCC) 14 May '98

14 May '98

Dear colleagues, The Test-Traffic Project group is pleased to announce that 20 test-boxes have been built and are ready to be installed at topologically interesting places around Europe. These test-boxes measure the delays on the network by sending time-stamped packets to each other. More information about the Test-Traffic Project can be found on the home-page of the Test-Traffic Project at http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic. If you are interested in hosting a test-box, please start by reading the RIPE documents 168 (version 2.0) and 179, which should contain everything that you need to know about hosting a test-box at your site. Both documents are available from the Test Traffic project home-page. If your site can meet all requirements, please fill out the application form at http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/host_testbox.html. If anything is unclear or if your site is interested in hosting a test-box but cannot meet all requirements, do not hesitate to contact us. If you have already expressed interest in hosting a test-box, please fill out the form too. It is our goal to distribute the test-boxes amongst topologically interesting places, while at the same time keeping the location of the test-boxes manageable from an operational point of view. Also note that the number of test-boxes is limited and that the project is still in a pilot phase. This means that we may decide that we will not install a test-box at your site even though you applied for one. There is no deadline for applying. We plan to review all applications in the week after Easter (April 12) and let the interested sites know which sites will receive a test-box. We will continue to accept applications until all test-boxes have been installed.
