RIPE NCC contribution to Dutch government consultation on regulating online content
by Suzanne Taylor 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Dear colleagues, The Dutch government recently held an open consultation asking members of the Internet community to give feedback on a report about online content regulation that was produced by the Advisory Council on International Affairs, which advises the government on foreign policy. The RIPE NCC submitted its views on the recommendations made in the report, which you can find on our website (along with all other contributions we’ve made to open consultations): https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga…> Our submission highlights the need to protect the public core of the Internet and urges the Dutch government to make a clear distinction between the Internet’s core infrastructure and functions, and the content and applications that run on top of that. We also state our support for the multistakeholder model of Internet governance and encourage the Dutch government to include technical communities in policy discussions. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. In the meantime, I wish you a wonderful holiday season! Best regards, Suzanne _______________ Suzanne Taylor External Relations RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Response to the EU’s Cybersecurity Strategy
by Marco Hogewoning 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Dear colleagues, Over the last few days, the European Commission has published a number of proposals and strategy documents that lay out its plans for the digital economy. These include the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and a policy document outlining the European Union's Cybersecurity Strategy for the Digital Decade. We are currently working through these documents to assess their impact on our operations, the multistakeholder ecosystem and the Internet at large. However, we’ve already seen that the cybersecurity strategy document makes a reference to our role as one of the DNS root server operators based in the EU, with a plan to "assess the role of these operators in guaranteeing that the Internet remains globally accessible in all circumstance.” We have issued a short public response to this point in particular, which you can find here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/announcements/ripe-ncc-response-to-t… Any feedback you might have on this statement is welcome. We will follow these proposals as they move through the legislative process and use the EU’s consultation processes to provide further input, as we continue to work with the European Commission, member states and other stakeholders to share our insights and expertise. The full proposals are available on the European Commission's website: - Digital Services Act (DSA): https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/proposal_for_a_regulation_on_a_s… - Digital Markets Act (DMA): https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/proposal-regulation-single-marke… - Cybersecurity Strategy: https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=72164 We encourage community members to make their own impact assessments. We will provide further updates on any aspects that we think are relevant to the RIPE community's or the RIPE NCC's activities and interests. Best regards, Marco Hogewoning Manager, Public Policy and Internet Governance RIPE NCC

New Internet Country Report: Gulf Region
by Suzanne Taylor 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Dear colleagues, We’ve published the latest in our series of country reports, this time looking at the Internet landscape in eight countries in the Gulf region. This is the sixth such country report that the RIPE NCC has produced as part of an ongoing effort to support Internet development throughout our service region by making our data and insights available to both local technical communities and decision makers. The report looks at the state of the Internet in the Gulf region, including its market landscape and regulatory environment, Internet number resources and opportunities for growth, regional connectivity, routing and routing security, and the operators and paths providing international transit into the region. We also reach a number of conclusions about what is needed to further develop the Internet in the Gulf region. You can learn more and download the report from RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-count… <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-count…> Please let us know if you have any feedback on the report or are interested in learning more about RIPE NCC data. And please share it with any of your colleagues who might be interested. Best regards, Suzanne _____________ Suzanne Taylor RIPE NCC

Looking for third co-chair
by Johan Helsingius 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

As stated in the WG session of RIPE81, we are inviting anyone who is interested in being a co-chair of the WG to contact me and/or Achilleas (preferably at cooperation-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net). We think it would be useful to have a third co-chair, and that also helps if one (or both) of us current chairs have to step down. If there are multiple people interested in being co-chairs, we will start a proper election procedure, with both me and Achilleas up for re-election - we might do that anyway, as good practice. Julf & Achilleas
