Hello everyone. I have written an open-source network bonding solution with intent to have it become the gold standard of network bonding using MPTCP. This post includes all the details: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/bondingshouldbefree-open-source-network-aggrega… I'm looking for ISPs and any other parties interested to deploy it and give me feedback. Cheers. Chester Arinc

Stepping down
by Johan Helsingius 20 May '26

20 May '26

Dear cooperation working group members, For those of you who didn't attend the RIPE92 cooperation wg session, I wanted you to know that I am stepping down as co-chair of this WG. I have been co-chairing for pretty much 10 years, and I feel that is too long of a time for a chair. The group could benefit from some new blood, new ideas and new energy, so I have volunteered to step down to provide an opportunity for new people to step in. I will still be assisting Desiree and Achilleas with getting a formal chair selection round going, so watch this space for the announcement of request for volunteers. Many thanks to all of you who have participated in the many interesting and important discussions over the years - and a very special thanks to my fellow co-chairs Desiree and Achilleas. I will of course still be found at coming RIPE meetings, but perhaps looking slightly less worried about schedules and agendas. Julf

by Desiree Miloshevic 13 May '26

13 May '26

Dear members and colleagues I would like to draw your attention to the European Commission’s public consultation on the review of the Cybersecurity Act 2 and NIS 2 targeted amendments. EU Cybersecurity Act Consultation <https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/cybersecurity-act?utm_sou…> The consultation provides an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute views on the future development of the EU cybersecurity framework, including ENISA’s mandate, certification schemes, and broader cybersecurity policy objectives. We encourage members interested in cybersecurity policy, internet infrastructure and related operational issues to consider submitting input. Please note the submission deadline is approaching, and contributions should be submitted directly through the European Commission consultation portal. Should there be interest, we can also facilitate an exchange among members on key issues relevant to the consultation or organise an open house. Best regards Achilleas, Julf and Desiree RIPE Coop WG Co-Chairs

Public ENUM article and RIPE 92 Services WG discussion
by Hisham Ibrahim 12 May '26

12 May '26

Dear colleagues, I wanted to share an article on the current operational status of Public ENUM under e164.arpa. The article is based on a 2026 operational review carried out by the RIPE NCC and looks at the status of current delegations and the questions this raises for the future support of Public ENUM. I plan to present this topic during the Services Working Group session at RIPE 92, where I hope we can discuss the findings and possible next steps with the community.

Re: ENUM (e164.arpa): background, scope, and coordination steps
by Ruben Brave 04 May '26

04 May '26

Dear Hisham, dear colleagues, Thank you for the continued transparency around this process, and for your 6 April update acknowledging that framing this discussion primarily in terms of closure is premature. We agree, and would like to contribute the perspective that has so far been missing from this thread: that of an active national delegating authority. Internet Society Netherlands (ISOC NL) holds the delegation for *1.3.e164.arpa*, covering the Dutch country code (+31), with SURF providing the technical infrastructure. The delegation is operationally sound, contact information is current, and DNSSEC is in place. We do not intend to request revocation. More importantly, we are actively exploring forward-looking applications for the +31 delegation. The principle at the heart of ENUM, linking a regulated, government-authorised numbering resource to verifiable Internet identifiers through a standards-based, DNSSEC-signed framework, is gaining renewed relevance in the context of the IP interconnection transition, DNS-based identity verification, and European digital identity frameworks. We are engaged with national stakeholders, including the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK), to assess how this infrastructure can meet these emerging needs. We therefore support Marco Hogewoning's call for further study before any conclusions are reached and specifically echo his point that low query volume at the Tier-0 level is a poor proxy for actual reliance on the ENUM protocol and national delegations. The relevant signal is at the Tier-1 level and below, which is precisely where active national delegations like ours operate. We look forward to the RIPE 92 session and would welcome the opportunity to contribute the Dutch delegating authority's perspective directly. We are also happy to coordinate with RIPE NCC and SURF on providing more granular usage data from 1.3.e164.arpa specifically, if that would support a more complete factual basis for this discussion.
