Dear colleagues, Following on from two successful BoF sessions at earlier RIPE Meetings, the RIPE NCC held an Internet of Things (IoT) roundtable meeting in Leeds on 21 September 2017. The meeting was attended by 30 RIPE community members and aimed to advance the work of the IoT BoF ahead of RIPE 75 - to see what RIPE and the RIPE NCC can do to address IoT issues. A report of this meeting is now available via our website https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/roundtable/september-2017/ripe-io… There is also a dedicated mailing list for RIPE community members with an interest in the IoT: iot-discussion(a)ripe.net. You can subscribe to this list via https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/iot-discussion. This list is also accessible via the RIPE Forum web interface at https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ Regards, Marco Hogewoning -- External Relations - RIPE NCC

Another great EU update / heads-up from Gordon. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ripe-list] Network security and Brussels Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2017 11:19:53 +0200 From: Gordon Lennox <gordon.lennox.13(a)gmail.com> To: ripe-list(a)ripe.net The Commission has just published a little bunch of things on security. As a very simple guide: a “Communication” is about what could happen, a “Report” is about what has happened and the “Regulation” is about changing ENISA. A lot of reading! Too much? But of interest to various WGs, including of course the Cooperation WG and the new IoT community? So: A COMMUNICATION from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council. Making the most of NIS – towards the effective implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/1148 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-M… https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-A… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council assessing the extent to which member states have taken the necessary measures to comply with Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems and replacing Council Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-474-F1-EN-M… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the evaluation of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-478-F1-EN-M… A Proposal for a REGULATION of the European Parliament and of the Council on ENISA, the "EU Cybersecurity Agency", and repealing Regulation (EU) 526/2013, and on Information and Communication Technology cybersecurity certification (''Cybersecurity Act'') https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-477-F1-EN-M… Gordon

RIPE NCC Signs MoU with Georgian National Communications Commission and Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Name Association
by Paul Rendek 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC signed two new Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) during recent events in Tbilisi, Georgia: one with the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC), and another with the Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Name Association (APTLD). These MoUs formalise the existing relationships the RIPE NCC has with each of these organisations, and are the result of the RIPE NCC’s growing membership and involvement in the region. The MoU with the GNCC focuses on IPv6 training, promoting the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative, and RIPE Atlas. You can learn more in the news announcement: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/announcements/ripe-ncc-and-georgian-… The MoU with APTLD focuses on coordinating the RIPE NCC and APTLD’s involvement with Internet coordination bodies such as ICANN, raising awareness about IPv6, and providing technical training. You can learn more in the news announcement: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/announcements/ripe-ncc-and-asia-paci… You can also find the full text of the MoUs, along with the other agreements we have with external organisations, on the RIPE NCC website: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/what-we-do/engagement-external-organisations Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Fwd: (CGN) European Commission PQ response
by Malcolm Hutty 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

The Co-operation WG may be interested in the following report of a reply by a European Commissioner to a European Parliamentary question about Carrier Grade NAT - not least because the reply refers to this WG by name. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: (CGN) European Commission PQ response Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:37:47 +0000 From: Owen Bennett <owen(a)euroispa.org> To: DG-Euroispa cybersecurity <cybersecurity(a)euroispa.org> Dear EuroISPA Cybersecurity committee, The European Commission has published its answer to a recent European Parliament parliamentary question*concerning ISPs’ deployment of CGN (carrier-grade network access translation) and the so-called ‘going-dark’ problem.* To remind, ISPs are under increasing pressure from law enforcement with regard to their use of CGN technology – the fact of putting multiple users behind individual IP addresses is said to stifle law enforcement investigations of crimes with an online component. The Commission’s response to the parliamentary question is pertinent for EuroISPA in that it is one of the first times where the Institution has addressed the CGN matter in an official /on the record /capacity. As you will see, the Commission’s response falls short of calling for regulatory intervention to limit CGN deployment, and even goes as far as to label CGN deployment ‘unavoidable’. We will continue to monitor this matter at EU-level and keep members updated. Kind regards, Owen *** *Question of MEP Agnew (EFDD, UK), Carrier Grade Network Access Translation <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-%2f%2fEP%2f%2fTEXT%2b…>, 17 February 2017* /[Europol recently held a meeting to discuss CGN technologies that have long been used by ISPs to delay the capex required to extend the current pool of IP addresses (CGN technologies are used by ISPs to share one single IP address among multiple subscribers at the same time)./ /Does the Commission agree that restricting the continued use of CGN, simply on the grounds that Europol finds it inconvenient to monitor, is a retrograde step and an unacceptable interference with current commercial practice and freedom of technological choice?]/ *Answer given by Commissioner Avramopoulos <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getAllAnswers.do?reference=E-2017-00110…> on behalf of the European Commission, 26 June 2017 * /[The Commission is aware that law enforcement authorities have raised certain concerns regarding the increasing use of Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGN) technology. CGN enables a single Internet Protocol (IP) address to be shared by potentially thousands or hundreds of thousands of subscribers at the same time since there is not enough capacity under the current IP version 4 (IPv) to meet demand. This makes it technically very difficult for an internet service provider to identify an individual subscriber in response to legitimate requests from law enforcement authorities. Consequently, it is difficult to attribute crime and identify criminals using that particular IP address. Europol thus has legitimate concerns regarding CGN or other forms of address sharing, which may also have a negative impact on fraud detection or intrusion detection systems. They may also have other negative consequences, such as overall performance degradation of connections or even, in some cases, certain applications not working at all. / / / /The expedited deployment of IP version 6 (IPv6)//on a global scale and by all stakeholders would mitigate the problems and also offer new opportunities to service providers. In the short term, however, the use of IPv4 address-sharing is unavoidable, as there are still a significant number of users, services and applications that function only with IPv4. At the same time, the Commission is not aware of any proposals to restrict the continued use of CGN, but rather of efforts being made to raise awareness about the issue, share best practices and find ways to facilitate the attribution of crime. It intends to raise the issue to RIPE (Réseaux IP Européens) via its representative who is chairing RIPE's Cooperation Working Group.]/ *** *Owen Bennett* Policy Executive *EuroISPA - European Internet Services Providers Association * Rue du Commerce 124/5 - 1000 Brussels T: +32 (0)2 550 41 22 www.euroispa.org <http://www.euroispa.org/> Follow us on Twitter *@euroispa <https://twitter.com/euroispa>* *EuroISPA is the world's largest association of Internet Services Providers, representing over 2500 ISPs across Europe.* EU Transparency Register ID Number: 54437813115-56
