28 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, Today is the final day to register your interest in attending NETmundial, a one-off global Internet governance event to be held in São Paulo, Brazil, on 23 & 24 April 2014. As the number of on-site participants will be limited, and demand is expected to exceed supply, the organisers are asking that anyone with an interest in attending complete the following web form: http://content.netmundial.br/interests/expression Acceptance of registrations will be made public by March 15. It is also expected that organisers will offer some form of remote participation for those unable to attend the event in person. There is a further deadline on Monday, 8 March, to submit contributions relating to the meeting’s two planned outcomes, a set of Internet governance principles and a roadmap for the further evolution of the Internet governance ecosystem. Contributions may be submitted via a web form at: http://content.netmundial.br/ The RIPE NCC plans to participate in the NETmundial meeting, and will report back to the RIPE community on any relevant issues or developments during the Cooperation Working Group session at RIPE 68. In the meantime, more discussion regarding the NETmundial event is taking place on the 1Net mailing list and discussion forum: http://1net.org/ Best regards, Chris Buckridge, RIPE NCC

We are very much in listening mode and to the extent possible I'll be glad to react to your points, questions, comments and criticisms.

European Commission - Internet Governance
by Gordon Lennox 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Commission Européenne - IP/14/142 12/02/2014 Commission to pursue role as honest broker in future global negotiations on Internet Governance In the wake of large-scale Internet surveillance and reduced trust in the internet, the European Commission today proposes a key reform to the way the Internet is managed and run. The proposal calls for more transparent, accountable and inclusive governance. Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes said: "The next two years will be critical in redrawing the global map of Internet governance. Europe must contribute to a credible way forward for global internet governance. Europe must play a strong role in defining what the net of the future looks like.” The Commission is committed to an internet that continues to serve fundamental freedoms and human rights, Kroes noted: “Our fundamental freedoms and human rights are not negotiable. They must be protected online.” .... http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-142_en.htm

Re: [cooperation-wg] DNS-based filtering

Jim Yes, but from what I've seen most people who want geographically diverse DNS these days use a service which offers it eg. Dyn or one of the other big DNS providers. I know you're doing it for your personal domain, but that's hardly surprising :) Registry operators - particularly ccTLDs - do this all the time, but I don't see many registrants of domains doing it anymore. And I thought this paper was about domains more than domain registries?

For instance many TLDs rely on a mixture of name servers they operate themselves, some provided by other TLD registries -- I'll slave your zone if you slave mine -- and others from commercial anycast providers. It might be true that the majority of registrants just stick with whatever DNS is offered by their registrar but not all of them do that. Clueful ones certainly don't.

Pier Carlo I'm a bit confused by your assertions with respect to authoritative DNS. Can you please provide examples of domains where the situation you described could exist? Eg: "target domain name. In fact, for the sake of redundancy, a domain name may have many authoritative servers, spread around the world and also operated by different companies." I can't see how that could work technically, but maybe I'm missing something - an example would be helpful Regards Michele -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting & Colocation, Domains http://www.blacknight.co/ http://blog.blacknight.com/ http://www.technology.ie Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Locall: 1850 929 929 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Fax. +353 (0) 1 4811 763 Twitter: http://twitter.com/mneylon ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845 -----Original Message----- From: cooperation-wg-bounces(a)ripe.net [mailto:cooperation-wg-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Pier Carlo Chiodi Sent: Tuesday, January 7, 2014 6:23 PM To: cooperation-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [cooperation-wg] DNS-based filtering Dear Cooperation working group members, Il 07/11/2013 21:53, Meredith Whittaker ha scritto: > With that, I would be happy to help whoever leads pull together a > draft, but I don't have the expertise to lead drafting. as I have already anticipated in another thread, I finally completed a document about web blocking measures for law enforcement purposes.

'Net neutrality just got a boost in Europe, thanks to a consumer rights committee'
by Bastiaan Goslings 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Hi all, FYI, maybe interesting: the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) committee of the European Parliament released its amendments to the EC's proposed 'Connected continent' regulation. I have not read them myself yet, but according to http://gigaom.com/2014/01/23/net-neutrality-just-got-a-boost-in-europe-than… , which includes a link to the amendments: 'As the text now stands (...), it looks very much like ISPs and content providers have lost the explicit right — included in the original proposals — to strike deals between one another for “specialized services”. This doesn’t mean they can’t strike deals, but it does mean that ability is not entrenched in Europe-wide law. The amendments also place stricter conditions on the deals that can be struck.' Sounds like good news? Obviously: 'Another parliamentary committee, that for Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), will still need to vote on Kroes’s proposals on 24 February, and its members will no doubt have their own amendments. After that, it’s over to the full Parliament for a plenary vote, probably in April.' -Bastiaan

RIPE NCC Roundtable Meetings - Some Background
by Chris Buckridge 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Dear colleagues, Based on recent discussions, it would perhaps be useful to provide some background information on the RIPE NCC Roundtable Meetings for Governments and Regulators (to use their full title). The RIPE NCC has been holding these events since 2005, generally on a twice-yearly basis, as an opportunity for representatives of governments and public sector authorities to engage directly with RIPE NCC staff and key members of the RIPE community. Over the years, agenda items have included issues such as IPv6 adoption, Internet governance developments, network security, and Internet measurements and analysis. Presentations are generally delivered by RIPE NCC staff, though there have been occasions when representatives from other organisations have presented on issues relevant to the RIPE NCC or RIPE community (e.g. Olaf Kolkman delivered a presentation at the last Roundtable Meeting on the IETF and its role in Internet security). The Roundtable Meetings are held as invitation-only events. This is to allow government representatives, who are often constrained in what they can say in open forums, to speak and exchange information freely. This is vital to ensuring that all participants get the most out of the meetings. The trade-off is that Roundtable Meetings are purely informational - no formal policy discussion or decision-making occurs. As noted on this list, recent Roundtable Meetings have been held alternately in Amsterdam and Brussels - this has been a conscious move to engage more effectively with European Commission and Parliament staff, as well as EU member state representatives who may otherwise be in Brussels at the time. We have coordinated with contacts in the European Commission to organise our Brussels Roundtable Meetings adjacent to relevant meetings or events held by the Commission. Our plan is to continue this pattern, but we are always open to adjusting our Roundtable Meeting organisation to more effectively reach new participants. The Roundtable Meetings have a great success in helping the RIPE NCC to build relationships with the public sector and inform public sector representatives on issues relating to the RIPE community. While the Roundtable Meetings are invitation-only, the RIPE NCC is very happy to hear input or suggestions from the community (particularly this working group) on issues that might usefully be included on the agenda (we are currently developing the agenda for our next Roundtable Meeting in February, and have noted the discussion that has taken place here regarding IP interconnection). We also strongly you to connect us with public sector representatives from your country who may be interested in attending. I hope this is helpful for discussions going forward, and I am happy to answer questions either on or off the mailing list. Chris Buckridge External Relations Officer, RIPE NCC

Re: [cooperation-wg] cooperation-wg Digest, Vol 24, Issue 5
by Wout de Natris 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

The discussion seems extremely EU focussed, which is not surprising as the EU Commission is a central force to be reckoned with in Internet Governance and a body that makes regulations that touch upon the internet, regulations that often influence other parts of the world be it directly or indirectly as well. It is an important player for RIPE NCC and the RIPE community to reckon with. However, there are at least three regional meetings within the RIPE region. Is there anything to stop those regions to have its own regional Cooperation Working Groups as well? It probably takes some initiative and topics to identify. If the need is there, it is your choice to start one.
