Hi Brian & AA-WG, I think that an AA automation training would be very helpful for the members. For what I had in mind is to get attendees experience with tools like Netbox (for address management among other things..), and 1 or 2 Abuse management software tools.. ( like Abuse.io or Abusix (hosted & commercial) ) I create some time ago a write up of what the training could entail ( not set in stone obviously .. ) feel free to take your own path .. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V8yv7VmflmhJyu3jgz3R63YWNdhKKKaP8LEs25Ze... Once people see how easy it is to move away from excel sheets for IP address management .. and see the benefits of off-the-shelves products .. and how this could help them in their daily work, I'm sure that we will be in a better place in the future. So a big +1 from me on any training for the NCC members on training on this subject.

This proposal got very little reaction from the community, so we are going to try again to see if there is interest, or if people who are already on this mailing list believe that there would be interest from other LIRs that they know. I have re-attached the proposal that Alireza sent to the mailing list in March. Between now and RIPE 83 (when this matter will be on the WG session agenda) I would ask the following questions: 1) Would training, as described, be of interest to you? 2) Would training, as described, be of interest to other LIRs you know of/work with? 3) If not, would there be other areas of Anti-Abuse training that would be of interest? 4) Would you be willing to help write training materials for this course? After the list discussion and discussion at RIPE 83 the Co-Chairs will work with the NCC Learning & Development Team to decide if there is enough interest to develop the course and, if there is, how to proceed from there. We really do believe this is something that would be of interest to a large number of small LIRs in the region, but that's not something we can really determine without the help of the WG Thank you, Brian Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG Brian Nisbet (he/him) Service Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +35316609040 brian.nisbet@heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.
