RIPE NCC on the ITU PP-18
by Chris Buckridge 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Dear Working Group, A few of us at the RIPE NCC spent at least part of the last few weeks in Dubai for the ITU Plenipotentiary 2018. A three-week endeavour deserves more than a single blog post, so we’ve gone one better and given you two! One is more of a high-level summary of what happened - the issues discussed, the outcomes and the general tenor of the discussion: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/itu-plenipotentiary-2018-what-just-hap… The other is Marco Hogewoning’s take on some of the technical issues that came up in discussion, and what impact they might have going forward for operators, governments and the Internet generally: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_hogewoning/itu-plenipotentiary-2018-thr… Enjoy, please feel free to comment or hit us up with any questions you might have. Best regards, Chris —— Chris Buckridge External Relations Manager RIPE NCC

E-waste on RIPE Labs
by Michael J. Oghia 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi everyone, I want to draw your attention to a concise and on point article <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/what-do-we-do-with-e-waste/> Mirjam posted a couple weeks ago to RIPE Labs about e-waste and the RIPE community. Specifically, it succinctly outlines the e-waste problem and how it connects to the RIPE community, while calling on the community to play a larger part in reducing e-waste across Eurasia (a good reminder we all have a role to play). She concludes by asking a number of questions: - What has your experience with e-waste recycling been? - Does your company have any special programmes or partner organisations it works with to deal with e-waste? - If you are a hardware manufacturer, do you have a facility for customers to return or recycle obsolete equipment? - What are the other ways you have of dealing with this issue? Read more here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/what-do-we-do-with-e-waste/ Best, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

Dear Cooperation WG, RIPE 77 is approaching, so now is your chance to suggest presentations and topics for our WG session. I know you are all utterly fed up with WHOIS and GDPR, but as the ICANN EPDP WG is supposed to have something ready for ICANN63 in Barcelona the week after, I guess we can't avoid at least a short status report...

Fixing threat intelligence for you
by Alex Smirnoff 18 May '18

18 May '18

Hi everyone, I decided to re-animate my old project: to fix threat intelligence for vulnerability management. First of all, why is it broken? (a picture attached) because today's threat intel is massively based on attack events, which means you get it too late. My idea is to create and maintain a database of available exploit capabilities, which whould help you to know (hopefully slightly in advance) what you need to urgently patch right now. https://uisgcon.org/pdf/uisgcon13-alex-smirnoff+what-is-wrong-with-informat… sildes 23-46 contain a more precise description of how would it look like. Yet I cannot do it by myself: i need either people to help me, or money to hire people, hosting resources, or probably all of the above. Anyone could suggest me a good direction to look for?

Massive IP blockings in Russia
by Alexander Isavnin 16 May '18

16 May '18

Dear colleagues! I’m not pleased to inform you that RosComNadzor, a Russian Communication supervisory body, has started blocking huge ranges of IPs belonging to different cloud infrastructures, mostly Amazon and Google Cloud. Those ranges include: 13.52.0.0/14, 13.56.0.0/14, 18.184.0.0/15, 18.194.0.0/15, 18.196.0.0/15, 34.192.0.0/10, 34.240.0.0/13, 34.248.0.0/13, 35.156.0.0/14, 35.160.0.0/13, 35.176.0.0/15, 52.0.0.0/11, 52.192.0.0/11, 52.208.0.0/13, 52.28.0.0/15, 52.58.0.0/15, 54.144.0.0/12, 54.160.0.0/12, 54.228.0.0/15, 54.72.0.0/15, 54.88.0.0/16. Russian ISPs MUST fully block all traffic to such networks. The list is frequently updated and gets automatically propagated to ISP every once in a while, failure to block any address may result in 1500eur fine. The infrastructure listed above is being added to the blocklist under “counter-terrorist and counter-extremist” order of the General Prosecutor Office, #27-31-2015/Id4082-15, issued in 2015 and often used for blocking an arbitrary unwanted content. The real reason for such blocking is an attempt to cut access to Telegram messenger, which refused to provide end-to-end encryption keys to the Federal Security Service (previously known as KGB). This is a case similar to San-Bernardino shooter’s, where the FBI was denied access to the shooter’s iPhone, but courts in Russia have made completely opposite decision. Telegram’s infrastructure is being blocked by a different decision by RosKomNadzor, #2-1779/2018. Cloud infrastructures are being blocked for massive proxy and VPN hosting used to dodge messenger blocking. It is said, that more Apple and Google networks may be blocked soon for apps updates and push notifications delivery for Telegram. We hope to still have the global IP connectivity to keep you informed about how the situation develops. Do not be surprised if some of your services placed in cloud infrastructures will miss Russian customers. You can monitor the number of IP addresses, domains and URLs to be blocked in Russia at the https://2018.schors.spb.ru/ page (run by the famous ENOG community member Phil Kulin). Detailed information (also via API) is available at the https://reestr.rublacklist.net run by RosKomSvoboda civil society group.

RIPE NCC Hosts Workshop for Russian LEAs
by Chris Buckridge 10 May '18

10 May '18

Dear colleagues, Last week, on 31 January 2018, we held a one-day workshop for Russian Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in Moscow. The workshop was attended by 19 participants. The event followed the format of similar LEA capacity-building efforts in other parts of our service region. LEAs learned about the RIR system and the respective roles of RIPE and the RIPE NCC, and there were discussions on the RIPE Database and the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP). The concerns of LEAs were primarily around issues of attribution (knowing who is using an IP address at a given point in time). IPv6 deployment and the Internet of Things (IoT) were also topics of interest. We went over the current policy proposals in the PDP, including the proposal initiated by the LEA community, 2017-02, "Regular abuse-c Validation" and encouraged LEAs to participate. Last year, the RIPE NCC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, an agreement which helped to make this initiative possible. We will be hosting similar capacity-building events with LEAs in Armenia and the UAE later this week. You can find the agenda and presentations from the workshop here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/lea-meetings/ripe-ncc-lea-meeting… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/lea-meetings/ripe-ncc-lea-meeting…> Kind regards Chris Buckridge External Relations Manager RIPE NCC

by Johan Helsingius 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

We could definitely use a few more submissions for the co-op wg session... Julf -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ripe-list] Last call for presentations and Draft programme for RIPE 76 Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 23:53:38 +0000 From: Benno Overeinder <benno(a)NLnetLabs.nl> To: ripe-list(a)ripe.net Colleagues, A list of currently accepted RIPE 76 presentations is now published at: https://ripe76.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/plenary/ There are still plenary, BoF, tutorial and workshop slots remaining for the final RIPE 76 programme and RIPE Programme Committee will accept new proposals until *8 April 2018*. This is our last call for you to submit your proposals. You can find the CFP for RIPE 76 below, or at https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe76.ripe.net/ripe-pc -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 76 will take place from 14-18 May in Marseille, France. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 76. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *8 April 2018*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) Speakers Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc(a)ripe.net. Also note that, on an individual basis, participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship Submissions Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe76.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

Why Russia is Building Its Own Internet
by Gordon Lennox 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

<< Last November, news emerged that Russian president Vladimir Putin had approved a plan to create an independent Internet by 1 August 2018, first reported by the Russian news agency, RT. The alternate Internet would be used by BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—and shield them from “possible external influence,” the Kremlin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told RT. “We all know who the chief administrator of the global Internet is,” Peskov said. “And due to its volatility, we have to think about how to ensure our national security.” Putting aside for the moment Peskov’s insinuation that the chief administrator of the Internet, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which abides by California’s state laws, would mess around with Russia’s access to the network, the question remains: Could Russia create its own alternate Internet? “The answer to your question is yes,” says David Conrad, chief technology officer for ICANN. The Internet’s protocols are openly available and, because it’s a network of interconnected networks, it’s entirely possible to recreate a different network of interconnected networks, he says. . . . >> https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/internet/could-russia-really-bu…

RIPE NCC Roundtable Meeting for Governments & Regulators Held in Brussels
by Chris Buckridge 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, Earlier this week, on 22 January 2018, we held a Roundtable Meeting for Governments and Regulators in Brussels. Around 50 representatives from governments, regulators and law enforcement agencies attended the meeting. A range of topics were covered over the course of the day, including the impact of the GDPR on the RIPE NCC, law enforcement’s recent engagement with the RIPE Policy Development Process, the use of address-sharing technologies (CGN) across Europe, and a run-down of key issues ahead of the ITU Plenipotentiary 2018 in October. The RIPE NCC has run Roundtable Meetings since 2005. They have proven to be an effective way of stimulating dialogue with and between regulators, and updating them on issues affecting the RIPE community. We also plan to hold Roundtable Meetings in the Middle East and Russian/CIS regions in 2018. You can find more information, including presentation slides, on our website (click on the agenda items): https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/roundtable/january-2018 Best regards, Chris Buckridge External Relations Manager RIPE NCC

DMARC Solution Applied to this Mailing List
by Adam Castle 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear Working Group, As more email providers enable Domain Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), some people find they can no longer receive emails from the mailing lists they are subscribed to. We have deployed a Mailman setting change to address this problem. After consultation with the RIPE Working Group Chairs, we have enabled the DMARC "Munge From" setting on all RIPE mailing lists. This means that if your email service provider has DMARC enabled, you will continue to receive all emails sent to this mailing list, but the "From" part of the header will change. If you don't have DMARC enabled, you won't see any change to the emails you receive from this mailing list. You can find more information about how we have been handling DMARC in the following RIPE Labs articles: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/dmarc-and-the-ripe-ncc https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/ripe-mailing-lists-and-dmarc To ensure all working group participants are aware of the changes, I am sending this mail to all working groups. If you have any questions or encounter any issues on this mailing list, please let me know. Many thanks. Adam Castle Web Services Manager RIPE NCC

CENTR and RIPE NCC Sign MoU at IGF 2017
by Paul Rendek 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear colleagues, Yesterday we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the (CENTR). The agreement was signed alongside the 2017 Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Geneva. The agreement formalises the existing relationship between the RIPE NCC and CENTR. CENTR agreed to invite RIPE NCC staff to its General Assemblies and to participate within its Technical Working Group, while the RIPE NCC agreed to invite CENTR staff to its Roundtable Meetings. Both parties agreed to involve one another in areas of mutual interest, and also agreed to promote the use of IPv6 among their respective memberships. The RIPE NCC and CENTR will also continue to jointly organise trainings and promote capacity building in Europe, with a specific focus on providing training to European policy-makers and other stakeholders. You can learn more in the news announcement: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/announcements/ripe-ncc-and-centr-sig… You can also find the MoU itself, along with the other agreements we have with external organisations, on our website: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/what-we-do/engagement-external-organisations The signing of this MoU is a good opportunity to revisit some of the shared history between the RIPE NCC and CENTR, which goes back almost 20 years. We have outlined some of these early beginnings in an article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/centr-and-the-ripe-ncc-two-organisatio… Regards Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC
