RIPE NCC response to the Commission adoption of the Digital Services Act
by Suzanne Taylor 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, Today the RIPE NCC submitted a response to the European Commission’s proposal for the Digital Services Act (DSA). We feel that the Commission’s DSA proposal is generally well balanced, having maintained the key principles of the E-Commerce Directive, including the limited liability regime for online intermediary service providers, a prohibition on general monitoring obligations, and the country of origin principle. We also believe it includes proportionate thresholds for intervening with core functions or operations and that it tries to target those providers who are best suited to respond to notice and action requests while minimising the potential for collateral damage. However, we did ask for further clarification around the definition of online platforms, as this is something that we’re looking at with regards to RIPE Labs. You can find our full response, along with all the other feedback the Commission received, at the bottom of this page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… <https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…> You can also find our response on our website, along with all responses that the RIPE NCC has contributed to various open consultations (including the position paper we submitted as part of our response to the open consultation on the DSA last September): https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga…> This latest consultation was part of the Commission adoption feedback period, before Parliament and Council define their own positions on the DSA. We will continue to follow this space as things develop and report back to the community. In the meantime, we’re happy to hear your own thoughts or feedback. Best regards, Suzanne _____________ Suzanne Taylor RIPE NCC

Follow up from the Coop WG call on NIS 2 Directive
by Desiree Miloshevic 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear members of the Working Group The Cooperation Working Group held a remote session last week, the archives of which have been shared to the list. It was clear during that session that there were concerns from members of the RIPE community, and that the timeline for making any formal response was very limited (with a deadline of 18 March). Unfortunately, despite some very active discussion during the session, there was not much further discussion on the list. However, the Working Group Co-Chairs felt that, while there is not agreed “RIPE community position”, it is important that the concerns raised should be conveyed to EU policymakers. To that end, two of the Co-Chairs (not including Achilleas, who has recused himself from this activity as an employee of the European Commission) have developed a response to the current open consultation that highlights the key concerns expressed in the remote session. The submission asks that EU policymakers work closely with members of the RIPE community to refine the NIS2 draft and address the concerns raised. You can find the details of our Co-Chairs submission here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… <https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…> Regards Desiree and Julf.

NIS2: Commission adoption feedback as individual
by Niall O'Reilly 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Dear friends, In case there shouldn’t be time to agree a community feedback statement on the proposed NIS2 directive, I decided to go ahead for better or worse with a private one as an “EU citizen”. You can find it here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… Best regards, Niall (no hat)

Remote session on NIS2 Directive: Video and slides
by Chris Buckridge 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Dear Working Group, Following up on the remote session held on 9 March dedicated to discussion of the EU NIS2 Directive, we have published video of the Zoom session, minutes from the session (including relevant links), and the slides from Marco’s presentation: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/coop/remote-sessions/rem… I mentioned during the session the input of various colleagues in pulling this information together - I accidentally failed to note the input of our Senior Legal Counsel Maria Stafyla. I reference it now both to acknowledge her efforts, but also to confirm that with her input, this presentation reflects our best understanding of the legal situation (as well as the political and policy dimensions). We will share our response to the current consultation in a separate note. Best regards, Chris Buckridge Head of External Relations RIPE NCC

Online discussion on the European Commission’s draft Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2) - Tuesday 9 March
by Johan Helsingius 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Dear WG members, The Working Group will hold a one-hour online discussion next Tuesday 9 March at 13:00 UTC to discuss the European Commission’s recently published draft for a revised directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2). Staff from the RIPE NCC will give a brief overview of the key elements of the proposal and the potential implications for operators in the RIPE community (and the RIPE NCC itself). As well as a community discussion, this will also be an opportunity for the working group and its members to consider responding to the public call for comments that the Commission currently has open. You are welcome to join the session next Tuesday via the following Zoom link: https://ripe.zoom.us/j/98145919501?pwd=UEN5MVBNQXJoYU5NL1FWdUZJRU11Zz09 For those unable to join at that time, the Zoom session will be recorded and posted, along with minutes from the session, on ripe.net. Achilleas, Desiree & Julf
