Sneak preview for today's WG session
by Peter Koch 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Dear WG, few weeks ago I had a reason to look into regulators' practices regarding net neutrality and then found something that could be of interest to the RIPE community (again). First, a little bit of background: there is an EU regulation 2015/2120 <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32015R2120> that deals with 'net neutrality'. Then, there is BEREC <https://berec.europa.eu/>, the 'Body of European regulators for Electronic Communication', which is where the EU member states' telco regulators meet and coordinate. BEREC is where guidelines for dealing with 2015/2120 were written and it's also tasked with collecting the national regulators' reports and compiling these into a Report on the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 and BEREC Net Neutrality Guidelines <https://berec.europa.eu/eng/document_register/subject_matter/berec/reports/…> Find all this and more at <https://berec.europa.eu/eng/open_internet/>. (The WG had dealt with the regulation and guidelines in mid 2016 already.) The most recent report says: 11 NRAs stated that they also undertook some other actions [...] creation of an IPv6 task force to accelerate the transition to IPv6 by enabling participants (ISPs, hosting companies, businesses, public sector players, etc.) to tackle specific problems and share best practices; and FI: The NRA has obliged operators to inform consumers about their right to a public IPv4 address in its memorandum about the Regulation. There's a number of other NRAs dealing with the (in)availability of public IPv4 addresses for end customers: Austrian regulator states that 'IPv6 penetration across the whole Internet currently at approx. 25%'; Slovenia reports: IPv4 address translation prevents traffic originating on the internet towards the user, which could be an issue if the user wanted to use its mobile terminal as an access point for a bigger number of devices connected at their home Netherlands' regulator ACM states: 2.3 Exploring the transition to IPv6 in the Netherlands BEREC has shown interest in making the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, a new standard for the use of IP addresses. The number of available IPv4 addresses has been depleted, but the introduction of IPv6 could lead to new problems. It appears there are differences between countries in how diligently the market and government organizations are currently dealing with the transition to IPv6. BEREC wishes to assess whether or not the roll-out of IPv6 (or the delay thereof) could lead to net neutrality issues. The French report has extensive coverage of IPv6. While 'net neutrality' is only one angle, it might be instrumental to note what issues get the attention of regulators and what the rationale is. See you at 14:00 CET in meetecho! -Peter

Panel discussion: "The Internet Model: Fit for the Future or Creaking at the Seams?"
by Nurani Nimpuno 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Dear friends and colleagues, I thought this panel discussion could be of interest for the Cooperation-WG participants. I think it will be a very insightful and animated discussion! The Internet Model: Fit for the Future or Creaking at the Seams? Moderator: Nurani Nimpuno Panelists: Andrew Sullivan, CEO, ISOC, Geoff Huston, Chief Scientist, APNIC, Jari Arkko, Snr Expert, Ericsson Research, KC Claffy, Founder and Director, CAIDA The Internet is an essential part of our lives today. It’s the infrastructure on which we rely for basic services, and many of us use it on a daily basis to communicate and connect with others. The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly highlighted how much we depend on the Internet for work, services, communication, and our social life, and many have been amazed by how well it has coped with the increased demand for Internet services. But is the Internet ready to take on the challenges we face going forward, or is it starting to creak at the seams? This, and many more questions is what we will explore with the Internet experts in this panel discussion! Date and time: Thursday 22 October 15:00 CET | 14:00 BST Registration: https://linx-net.zoom.us/webinar/register/8616002521873/WN_9PISk2w1SfyYi_4e… <https://linx-net.zoom.us/webinar/register/8616002521873/WN_9PISk2w1SfyYi_4e…> It is an open webinar, but you do need to register. Thursday next week at 3pm CET! Kind regards, Nurani

RIPE NCC contributes to consultation on NIS Directive
by Suzanne Taylor 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC responded to the European Commission’s open consultation on the review of the Directive on Security of Network Information Systems (NIS Directive), which closed on 2 October. Specifically, we encouraged the European Commission to develop better definitions, in cooperation with the technical community, for the terms described in Annex II of the NIS Directive, including such terms as “network and information systems”, “operator of essential services”, "digital service provider” and more. We contribute to these kinds of consultations, both at the EU level and across the RIPE NCC’s service region, in order to provide technical expertise to policymakers and to promote a multistakeholder model of Internet governance. You can find a complete list of past contributions to external consultations on our website: https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga…> Please let us know if you have any comments or questions. Best regards, Suzanne Taylor RIPE NCC
