Cooperation WG Chair Selection -co-chairs deliberation
by KEMOS Achilleas 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Dear group, As reflected by the discussion in the list, the general feeling of not just the chairs but the list as well, is that we have two very good candidates. Unfortunately, as expressed by Jim, it wouldn’t make sense to go for 4 co-chairs. We were thus faced with a very difficult decision, as there also was no clear preference for either candidate during the discussion phase. In the end, and after a lot of deliberation, we decided to select Desiree as the new co-chair. We want to thank Dick for being a great candidate, and hope he will still be available in the autumn when we plan a second round of co-chair selection - and meanwhile we are also looking forward his active participation in the WG. Thanking again both Dick and Desiree for the candidacy and interest, Julf & Achilleas -----Original Message----- From: Cooperation-wg-chairs <cooperation-wg-chairs-bounces(a)ripe.net> On Behalf Of KEMOS Achilleas Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 2:46 PM To: cooperation-wg(a)ripe.net Cc: cooperation-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net Subject: [cooperation-wg-chairs] Cooperation WG Chair Selection Process - candidates and launch of the discussion Dear Group, Following the call for third co-chair posted on 30 November, we are pleased to announce that we have two candidates that have expressed and confirmed their interest for the post of the third co-chair: - Desiree Miloshevic - Richard Leaning We invite the Desiree and Richard to present themselves to the Group, launching thus the discussion in the WG mailing list.

Interested parties have two weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list, or directly to the Chair/s. 3. After two weeks, the Chair/s ensure that all candidates are announced on the mailing list and issue a call for discussion. 4. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. 5. Two weeks after the call for discussion, the Chair/s declare a decision, based on mailing list discussion, as they would do for a policy proposal." Thus, as we have posted the call on Monday, November 30, it means interested parties have until end of the day (CET) on Monday, December 14 to make their interest known. A few people have already been in touch, but more interest is definitely welcome! Julf & Achilleas

Status update ITU discussions
by Marco Hogewoning 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

Dear colleagues, Let me start by wishing you all a happy and healthy 2021. I would like to give you a quick update on the discussions that have taken place at ITU in the past few weeks, in particular with regards to New IP, also called FVCN. As you may recall from my earlier posts, there were two study groups seeking to establish "Questions" - the ITU equivalent of a working group - to study a new network architecture and protocol suite, that were positioned to replace or significantly amend the current set of Internet protocols and standards which are maintained by the IETF. Both study groups 11 and 13 held meetings in the week before Christmas. In those meetings, it again became clear that outside of the small group of initial proponents there was little support for the proposed work. And a large group of countries and sector members, including the European Commission, the 27 EU member states, the UK, US, Canada, Japan, as well as the RIPE NCC, GSMA and ETNO, all objected to the establishment of these Questions. The ITU-T processes require these decisions to be consensus based and the long and sustained opposition could only lead to the conclusion that there was no consensus on moving forward with these proposals. Subsequent to that conclusion and although the process technically allows for it, the meetings also failed to reach agreement to send these proposals for consultation of the member states. This now means that, after about a year of discussions, all options in the current process have been exhausted and effectively the topic has been put to rest. In fact, as the question was raised on whether the groups should continue to discuss the proposals, the meeting could not agree and again failed to reach consensus to do so. Further, as we now expect the WTSA-20 conference to be rescheduled to March 2022. A contingency plan has been put in place. As part of that, a revised set of Questions (excluding the ones the ones that failed to reach consensus) have now been forwarded to a meeting of the Telecommunications Standardisation Advisory Group (TSAG) for endorsement as the outcome of the discussions on future work. We expect that, with the endorsement of those agreed questions, we can leave the discussion about the work plan behind, and focus on those work items that fit within the remit of the Union and on which there is consensus that standardisation efforts by ITU-T are required and helpful to our industry. As a sector member of ITU-T, we will remain engaged with these and other study groups and update you on any relevant developments, also towards WTSA and other upcoming conferences such as WTDC and the next Plenipotentiary, which will take place in the autumn of 2022. Best, Marco Hogewoning Manager Public Policy and Internet Governance RIPE NCC
