Re: [cooperation-wg] RIPE NCC Contribution to the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation
by Richard Hill 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Dear Gordon Thank you for this. As you may recall, I was a member of the WSIS secretariat when the text in question was negotiated and I was involved in the discussions. As I recall, the term "enhanced coordination" was used as a an euphemism for "end unilateral US control of Internet governance in general and of ICANN and IANA in particular". However, after the text was agreed, there was disagreement regarding its intent: as I recall, the USA took the view that the intent was to encourage more cooperation amongst UN agencies and between those agencies and other Internet governance bodies such as ICANN. But others might have different recollections. Best Richard Sent from Samsung Mobile. <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Gordon Lennox <gordon.lennox.13(a)gmail.com> </div><div>Date:26/12/2016 10:46 (GMT-04:00) </div><div>To: Cooperation WG <cooperation-wg(a)ripe.net> </div><div>Cc: Chris Buckridge <chrisb(a)ripe.net> </div><div>Subject: Re: [cooperation-wg] RIPE NCC Contribution to the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation </div><div> </div>I find it interesting how the term “enhanced cooperation” has been interpreted in ways that I think are quite different to what was in the minds of at least some of the people who I understand originally proposed it. In EU relations “enhanced cooperation” has a specific meaning. It was introduced in the Treaty of Amsterdam: so akin to a "term of art”, if you will. Enhanced cooperation, in the EU, was not meant to imply simply better cooperation: it was about differentiated cooperation. In that environment it was and is about some, not all, member states cooperating more fully, more closely, on certain items even in the absence of a wider consensus. So the idea was that, even in a UN-related context, certain states could cooperate more closely, even in the absence of more general agreement? Given the significant on-going restructuring in terms of international relationships one might imagine a shift back to the original intent. Happy holidays!

RIPE NCC Contribution to the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation
by Chris Buckridge 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, One of the outcomes of last year’s 10-year review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was the formation of a Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation on Public Policy Issues Pertaining to the Internet (WGEC). Established under the United Nations’ Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD), the Working Group was set up in response to the feeling expressed by some UN Member States that there was a need to "develop recommendations on how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda." More information on the Working Group is available at: http://unctad.org/en/Pages/CSTD/WGEC-2016-to-2018.aspx Coming out of the Working Group’s initial meeting in September, there was an open call for contributions in response to two questions: > - What are the high level characteristics of enhanced cooperation? > - Taking into consideration the work of the previous WGEC and the Tunis Agenda, particularly paragraphs 69-71, what kind of recommendations should we consider? Working closely with one of the technical community members of the Working Group, Nick Ashton-Hart, the RIPE NCC developed and submitted a document responding to these questions: https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… In summary, the document notes that, while cooperation amongst all stakeholders is vital in developing Internet capacity, it is important that these efforts focus on practical benefits, and that they be minimally distortive or disruptive to the shared platform that is the Internet. The Working Group will hold its next meeting on 26-27 January 2017 in Geneva, where it will consider the contributions received and the way forward for its work. Happy, as always, to discuss any questions or comments. Meanwhile, best wishes to those celebrating Christmas/New Year in the coming days and weeks!

Q: What is the latest trend in Internet connectivity offerings?
by Alessandro Vesely 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hi all, as asked in ISOC survey, it seems there are a few big players who dominate Internet connectivity market, more and more convoluted with telephone. Here in Italy, for reasons beyond my understanding, you are bound to get a residential connection unless you have a VAT number. I really cannot understand the rationale for that, and it looks to me as a gratuitous limitation of individual freedom. Personally, I'm unable to get a non-filtered, static IP connection since I closed my VAT account (after my tax preparer's recommendation). I'll probably have to give up running my own email server. In addition, I've never been able to get IPv6 addresses --perhaps that needs a fiscal reform, eh? Is it that way all over Europe, or is it just Italy? Can anyone shed some light on why it is so? TIA Ale

Seeking technical community candidates for IGF MAG
by Chris Buckridge 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, Please see the notice below - I will follow up when the application details are available, but in the meantime, I am happy to answer any questions that RIPE community members might have about this role (as, I’m sure, could those community members who have previously served on the MAG). Cheers Chris —— Dear colleagues, This note is to inform you that ISOC is facilitating the organisaton of a selection process to identify individuals from the Internet technical community in response to the call for nominations to the 2017 Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). It is understood that other processes, including self-nominations from individuals of the technical community may occur at the same time. Details about this process and how to nominate will follow shortly, as the NomCom is currently being formed, but we wanted to let you know that this is underway as soon as possible given the short time-frame between the UN’s announcement and the deadline for nominations. Please keep an eye out on this list for more information. About the MAG The purpose of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) is to advise the U.N. Secretary General on the programme and schedule of the Internet Governance Forum meetings. The MAG comprises of 55 Members from governments, the private sector and civil society, including representatives from the academic and technical communities. Those nominated should expect to attend two virtual MAG meetings per month as well as typically three face to face meetings per year.

Belgian limits on CGN/NAT?
by Marco Hogewoning 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

[apologies for duplicates, suggest to follow-up on this on the RIPE IPv6-WG for which you can subscribe at https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-wg/) Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately so far I have only found Dutch (and French) sources, we would be happy to receive pointers to English texts on this. The Belgian Institute for Post and Telecom (BIPT) recently ran a consultation to evaluate the National IPv6 Workplan, which was released back in 2012. The deadline to comment had already passed, but I trust our Belgian community members to have found this via other sources in time to respond. http://www.bipt.be/public/files/nl/22027/Raadpleging_ipv6.pdf In this, there is one question in particular that caught our eye, number 6, which roughly translates to a question asking if the requirements in a Code of Conduct on the usage of CGN which was agreed in 2012 are still current and workable and whether or not this CoC should be reviewed. Further in the introduction of the consultation, chapter 1 (page 3), there is some more information on this agreement: > Om de eindgebruiker toch eenduidig te kunnen identificeren was er beslist om bijvoorbeeld het delen van een IP-adres te beperken tot maximaal 16 gebruikers en dit via een gedragscode die door de sector werd ondertekend. Translation by me: > To identify users, it was agreed that sharing a single IP address would be limited to a maximum of 16 users and that this limit would be part of a code of conduct which would be signed by the industry” So far we have not yet been able to retrieve a copy of this Code of Conduct or a list of participating operators and would be happy to receive more information. But as the text suggests that there is an agreement between Belgian network operators and the government that would limit the use of CGN to 16 users per address. We wonder then, if this is the “magic ingredient” of why the IPv6 roll out in Belgium is so successful. As a question to this Working Group, would a 16:1 ratio be realistic and workable from an operational perspective? And further of course, do you think this form of cooperation between the public and private sector as a way to expedite the deployment of IPv6?

New on RIPE Labs: The Internet Infrastructure's Turn to Content

Dear colleagues, Please find this new article by Uta Meier-Hahn on RIPE Labs: The Internet Infrastructure's Turn to Content https://labs.ripe.net/Members/uta_meier_hahn/the-internet-infrastructures-t… One of the Internet’s key features is that it keeps networking functions separate from the applications and services that use these functions. However, network operators and especially Internet service providers appear to be becoming more content aware. Networking is becoming more intertwined with content. This might have implications for tomorrow’s Internet. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Euro-IX Memorandum of Understanding and RIPE NCC Engagement
by Paul Rendek 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC and the European Internet Exchange Association (Euro-IX) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Euro-IX Forum in Krakow, Poland on 7 November. The MoU documents the existing relationship between the RIPE NCC and Euro-IX, and focuses specifically on the promotion of IPv6 and IXPs, the importance of security, and a common approach to Internet governance: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe-ncc-and… This MoU is the latest formalised agreement for greater cooperation between the RIPE NCC and one of the many external organisations we work with, and we wanted to give you some background on why we believe these types of agreements are valuable to the RIPE NCC membership and the greater RIPE community. We also want to be completely transparent about the agreements we’re entering into, which is why we’ve created a new page on the RIPE NCC website where you can get all of the details for yourselves: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/what-we-do/engagement-external-organisations Beyond the RIPE NCC membership, there is a diverse range of organisations we work with in various ways, including governments, regulators, technical bodies, industry groups, law enforcement agencies, academic institutions and others. By engaging with these organisations, we can offer decision makers technical expertise that will ultimately benefit the Internet community, gain support for open, bottom-up policy-making, and strengthen the legitimacy, authority and accountability of the RIPE NCC, the RIPE community and the global registry system. In fact, this kind of engagement is included as one of the four main focus areas in the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan & Budget 2017, and was the subject of a presentation by RIPE NCC Executive Board member Maria Häll at RIPE 73. You can find both of these online for more details if you’re interested: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2016/draft-ri… https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1480/ You can also learn more about our engagement with external organisations and the mutual benefits of these agreements in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/building-and-documenting-stronger-rela… We encourage you to include any comments you might have in the comment section under the article, or on this mailing list.

BoF follow-up: Creation of IoT-Discuss mailing list
by Marco Hogewoning 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, During the Internet of Things BoF in Madrid, several participants commented on the need to strengthen the information exchange on this topic. Noting the wide variety of the topics and concerns that would fall under such a broad term as the Internet of Things, while it the same time too specific for any existing mailing list, it was concluded that the creation of a dedicated mailing list would be a feasible way forward in centralising the information available, while leaving open the option to take specific topics to specialist working groups or other venues. As we announced during the meeting, we have now set up this dedicated mailing list called “IoT Discussion”. The aim of this list is to facilitate the exchange of information concerning the Internet of Things, particularly as it may have impact on the RIPE NCC, RIPE or our stakeholders' operations. The list is also a platform to inform each other about proceedings in other relevant standards bodies or governance structures, and may be used to discuss and formulate common positions among participants on IoT-related topics. If you take interest in this topic or participate in other discussions surrounding the IoT, we would encourage you to subscribe to this mailing list. To subscribe to this list, please visit https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/iot-discussion. The same webpage also gives access to the public archives of this mailing list. Regards, Marco Hogewoning On behalf of the RIPE NCC’s External Relations department.

European Commission tender: study to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative
by Marco Hogewoning 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, We recently have been notified about the following, which we think this may be an area that RIPE community members have an interest in commenting on. At this stage we do not have more information than what is posted on the webpages mentioned below. "The European Commission has launched a call for tenders for a service contract to conduct a study to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative. In their offer, the tenderer should demonstrate a deep knowledge of the Future Internet area and key applications, from a technical perspective, notably through relevant previous work of similar nature (SMART 2016/0033 The overall objective of the study is to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative. This includes developing a concept for a new research and innovation initiative on next generation Internet and engaging with a broader community of stakeholders.” More information about this tender and the Next Generation Internet Initiative can be found on the Commission’s website: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/next-generation-internet… Regards, Marco Hogewoning -- External Relations - RIPE NCC
