Online discussion: What Does the Digital Services Act Mean for You?
by Suzanne Taylor 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

Dear colleagues, As you’re likely aware, the European Commission has announced plans for a new Digital Services Act with the potential to affect many different actors in the Internet industry, and is currently holding an open consultation, which runs until 8 September, in order to solicit feedback from all stakeholders. We’re hosting an online dialogue next Wednesday, 8 July from 14:00-15:00 CEST to discuss the details of this newly proposed legislation and its potential impact on the technical community: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/what-does-the-new-digi… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/what-does-the-new-digi…> We’ll be joined by Eva Jordan Vankova from the European Commission, Sebastian Schwemer from the Centre for Information and Innovation Law (CIIR) at the University of Copenhagen, and Athina Fragkouli, who will share the RIPE NCC’s perspective on the Digital Services Act. We hope you can join this interactive discussion, when you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and share your views. Best regards, Suzanne ________________ Suzanne Taylor External Relations RIPE NCC

New Open Consultations by BEREC (access sharing, 5G and co-investment)
by Marco Hogewoning 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, We'd like to draw your attention to a number of ongoing consultations with the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). BEREC's task is to further refine the implementation of European legislative instruments by issuing guidelines that support a consistent and harmonised approach across all member states. As with other institutions, BEREC's work has moved fully online, which makes consultations like this even more important as a way to liaise with stakeholders and receive feedback. The following consultations might be of interest: - Guidelines on the criteria for a consistent application of article 61 (3) EECC (deadline 31 July) Article 61 (3) of the European Electronic Communications Code has a number of provisions on sharing access infrastructure. In particular, this consultation addresses two key points. The first is about imposing obligations to share access infrastructure on entities which are not designated to have significant market power. The second involves sharing infrastructure beyond the first concentration or distribution point, to an interconnection point where the number of customers becomes more efficient and economically feasible. https://berec.europa.eu/eng/news_consultations/ongoing_public_consultations… - Guidelines to foster the consistent application of the criteria for assessing co-investments in new very high capacity network elements (Article 76 EECC) (deadline 4 September) We've already flagged the work on very high capacity networks in earlier emails. These particular guidelines lay out some specifications under which parties with significant market power (SMPs) may offer co-investment on new infrastructure and under which circumstances this would affect the obligations of the SMP under article 68 of the EECC. Our understanding is that, under certain conditions, such a co-owned infrastructure would not be subject to the regular obligations, such as infrastructure sharing and/or regulated tariffs, that would normally apply to SMPs. In our assessment, this could impact smaller operators that rely on such sharing arrangements and obligations. https://berec.europa.eu/eng/document_register/subject_matter/berec/public_c… - Guide to the draft BEREC Guide to the BEREC 5G Radar and 5G Radar (deadline 4 September) This consultation is part of the ongoing work to get a better understanding of the regulatory issues that might emerge from the deployment of 5G. An important part of this is the timing and priority of these issues as they emerge and the timelines for BEREC and the national agencies to address them. https://berec.europa.eu/eng/news_consultations/ongoing_public_consultations… At this stage, we do not envision the RIPE NCC submitting a response to any of these consultations, but we know that some of you are active in these areas and may find it is useful to share your views with BEREC directly. These open consultations are an important part of BEREC's efforts to take stakeholders' opinions into account and we would encourage you to make use of this opportunity. Regards, Marco Hogewoning (Interim) Manager Public Policy and Internet Governance RIPE NCC

More information on New IP
by Marco Hogewoning 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Dear colleagues, As my colleague Chris promised earlier, I have done a bit of a bigger write-up on the proposals by Huawei and partners collectively referred to as "New IP". The article is available on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_hogewoning/do-we-need-a-new-ip-1 Of course, we remain engaged on the topic and will keep you informed about updates. We have also agreed with the chairs of this working group to provide an overview of New IP during RIPE 80, where we hopefully also have the opportunity to answer some questions. Best, Marco Hogewoning External Relations, RIPE NCC
