Personal update
by Desiree Miloshevic 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Dear members I would like to share a personal update with the group. I’ve started doing consulting work for the RIPE NCC and will be working as such for next several months, on a couple of topics: understanding of South East European country regulatory frameworks for the RIPE NCC operators and Global Digital Compact agenda. I would therefore like to ask if anyone sees any conflicts? I can offer to step down from my role of the Coop WG Co-Chair. Your comments are appreciated. Lack of comments would be interpreted as no objections. Thank you, Desiree — Cooperation WG Co-Chair

RIPE NCC Internet Country Report: The Nordic Region
by Suzanne Taylor 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Dear colleagues, Today we published the latest of our RIPE NCC Internet Country Reports, this time with a focus on the Nordic Region: https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-countr… <https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-countr…> We examine the major market players, Internet number resource holdings, IPv4 transfers and IPv6 readiness to understand the history and current state of Internet development in this region as well as its capacity for future growth. We also analyse the region's resilience and stability by mapping the relationship between different networks in the countries and regions, their international connectivity to the global Internet, access to K-root, traffic paths and routing security. The RIPE NCC produces these country reports in order to support Internet development and inform discussion among technical communities and policymakers throughout our service region. Please share the report with your colleagues, and we’d be happy to hear your thoughts or to discuss the findings. Best regards, Suzanne _________________ Suzanne Taylor Public Policy & Internet Governance RIPE NCC www.ripe.net <http://www.ripe.net/>

RIPE Principles
by Daniel Karrenberg 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

This is a response to https://labs.ripe.net/author/chrisb/a-matter-of-principle/. As a community we know quite well what RIPE is about. People are here for a reason. I am not convinced that we need another meta discussion. Talking about principles we should remind ourselves of those we have had from the very beginning of RIPE: the "RIPE Terms of Reference" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-001. For a document written in 1989 this co-author believes that it holds up pretty well. Even the essence of "a globally interoperable, unfragmented Internet" is there, worded more than 30 years ago as: "RIPE promotes and coordinates interconnection of IP networks within Europe and to other continents." Personally I am happy with these principles even after more than 30 years. They guide us well. Maybe we just need to remind ourselves of these principles from time to time and interpret them in the current context. Should we agree that we need to work on revising our principles, we should start from ripe-001 and word them as much as possible in terms of what we actually *do*. I also recommend seeking broader community consensus before spending much time on this. Daniel

NISD2

The EU Parliament approved an adopted text for NISD2 earlier today: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2022-0383_EN.pdf There are several stages to go before this is finalised as a directive, and several more before it can be passed as legislation by national parliaments, but this text is unlikely to undergo any more substantial changes.

Skill gap between cybersecurity education and demand
by Wout de Natris 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, 67.5% of companies consider the gap between their expectations and the skills tertiary graduates bring to the workplace is having a strong or very strong impact on their performance. Many point to a lack of understanding of secure web communications, cloud computing and strategic thinking. We'd love to hear your views and suggestions. Join our (IS3C) survey at https://forms.gle/Dna6nSeiKMFY11cP9.

International survey on cyber skill gap in tertiary education
by Wout de Natris 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

Dear colleagues, We are currently researching the growing gap between the skills of young people graduating from tertiary studies and the expectations of employers in the tech and cybersecurity industry, and we're interested in hearing your views. We kindly invite you to fill out our survey in English<https://forms.gle/Dna6nSeiKMFY11cP9>, French<https://forms.gle/BzGZmmT2iJqkLRat8> or Polish<https://forms.gle/5cgeRjz29r1ZKTWE8>. The deadline is 15 August. The survey has been developed by the IGF's Internet Standards, Security and Safety Coalition (IS3C)<http://www.is3coalition.org>. It aims to establish where the gaps are and possible solutions, as well as to find out more about current good practice in this area around the world. To do this we need your views, knowledge and expertise. We hope you can assist us in getting a clear picture of the current playing field by filling in this questionnaire. An analysis of results will be made available at www.is3coalition.org<http://www.is3coalition.org/> in September 2022, in the lead up to a series of workshops bringing together academia and industry. If you know colleagues interested in this topic, then please share this survey with them.

RIPE NCC in WTDC22
by Chafic Chaya 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC is a Sector Member of ITU-D and participates at the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC), where we engage with participants and member states to advance the priorities that address the Internet-related issues in line with NCC's vision and mission. The 9th ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-2022) <https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Conferences/WTDC/WTDC21/Pages/default.aspx> was held from 6 to 16 June in Kigali, under the theme "Connecting the Unconnected to Achieve Sustainable Development, to set the development agenda and priorities for ITU Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) for the 2022 to 2025 period. More than 2000 delegates from 150 Member States plus over 350 sector members participated in the conference; 45 resolutions have been updated, and four new resolutions have been approved. The WTDC opening plenary projected the Russian-Ukraine war discourse, where the Ukraine delegation, supported by other member states, objected to the nomination of Russian candidates to any position on the WTDC Committees due to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. A secret ballot to resolve the issue resulted in not accepting the Russian appointments. This practice has become normality where similar objections took place during WTSA & at ITU Council meetings earlier this year. A significant risk to RIRs at the WTDC came from resolution 63: “IP addresses allocation and facilitating the transition to IPv6 deployment in developing countries”. The Chinese wanted to amend resolution 63 to include an explicit reference to IPV6+ as a technology and commercial innovation trend. Many member states and sector members, including the RIPE NCC and other RIRs, ICANN and ISOC, all opposed this proposal with the fact that IPv6+ is not a standard developed by the IETF, where technical standards should be developed, and that it is not even clearly defined and could impact the IPv6 deployment progress. In the end, the Chinese proposal was not accepted. It’s worth noting that member states continue to disagree sharply on cybersecurity. Resolution 45 on Cybersecurity had two ad hoc groups and a lot of informal discussions. Several proposals referencing UN processes, the need for the ITU to serve as a platform, and cybercrime references were removed, and only four proposed consensus texts were retained. As a sector member of ITU-D, we will remain engaged with ITU-D meetings and study groups and update NCC management and the RIPE community on any developments. Some excellent team efforts from colleagues from ARIN, AFRINIC, and ISOC are to be highlighted. Thanks for all; our involvement and joint efforts have paid off, which is a great result. Best Regards, Chafic
