RIPE 64: Submit Your Presentation By 3 February
by RIPE PC 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Dear colleagues, RIPE 64 takes place on 16-20 April 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and tutorial sessions at RIPE 64. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: • IPv6 deployment • Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations • Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses • Data centre technologies • Network and DNS operations • Internet governance and regulatory practices • Network and routing security * Content delivery * Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions ------------ 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 not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require (30 minutes is a common maximum duration, although some talks can be longer). Proposals for presentations must be submitted for full consideration no later than *3 February* using the online topic submission system at: http://meetings.ripe.net/pc/ Presentations submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several timeslots for “lightning talks”, which are selected immediately before or during the conference. Lightning talks are short (10 mins maximum) and will be announced shortly before the conference. If you are aware of a talk that might be interesting to the community, please provide us with the details and we will approach the potential speaker. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net. For more information about RIPE 64, including how to register, visit: http://ripe64.ripe.net/ Kind regards, Todd Underwood on behalf of the RIPE Programme Committee

RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011 - Results
by Axel Pawlik 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The results of the Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011 were presented at the RIPE 63 Meeting, which took place in Vienna, Austria from 31 October-4 November 2011. The full report is available at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2011 These large-scale surveys are used by the RIPE NCC to assess its current service offering and to shape its strategy for the years ahead. The RIPE NCC carries out these every three years. They are extremely important in finding out the views of RIPE NCC members and other stakeholders on the direction the RIPE NCC should be taking as an organisation. An independent third party, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), conducted the analysis of the survey data. Any information that might identify the respondent was removed by the OII and was not made available to the RIPE NCC or published in the report. If you have any questions or comments relating to the survey, please email <surveys(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
