CIRA research questionnaire
by Chris Buckridge 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Dear all, I’m following up on the presentation that I delivered at the recent RIPE Meeting on a research project that I’m doing with the folks at CIRA (the Canadian Internet Registration Authority). The subject of the research is the Internet technical community’s perspective on multistakeholder governance as we approach WSIS+20, and as a key element of this work, we’ve developed a questionnaire for members of the Internet technical community I’d like to invite and encourage the folks on this list to respond. You can find the questionnaire (a Google Form) here: http://cira.ca/research The planned outcome is a paper to be published early in the new year that will draw on the responses received to the questionnaire, and contribute to the technical community’s conversation about what we hope to see come out of this WSIS review, and what we can bring to the table. The technical community’s own governance processes were an important influence on the WSIS embrace of multistakeholder governance; at this inflection point for digital governance more broadly, how will the technical community contribute to the ongoing evolution of that approach? The paper isn't intended to be a comprehensive survey of the “technical community’s views", but I’m hoping it can capture some important insights and ideas from those who’ve helped to drive the “open, transparent, bottom-up” policy processes that are at the Internet’s core! All responses are anonymous, and I’m looking for personal perspectives, rather than institutional positions. The deadline is listed as this week (apologies for the late follow-up), but I’m more than happy to take responses up to the end of next week (22 November). I really appreciate any time that you can contribute! (And, of course, I’m happy to answer any questions you might have, on-list or off!) Best, Chris

by Desiree Miloshevic 24 Oct '24

Dear colleagues and members of the WG The Internet Society has drafted an open letter addressed to Ms Virkunnen, the Commissioner-designate for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. They are looking for endorsements of the letter with regards to the concerns of proposed dispute settlement mechanisms between Content Application Providers (CAPs) and Telecom operators for IP connectivity. As the Coop WG contributed to the EU consultation on this very topic last year, through the Small Task Team report, we encourage members to review the letter and consider endorsing it. Julf and I are considering signing the letter as Co-Chairs, given the short time-frame to gather endorsements from the entire WG. Please note that Achilleas will be recusing himself from this matter. The document can be accessed here: Open Letter https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gClnSOXm9kuBJw5kWfijvlnxYJ9o_pYE/edit The deadline for endorsement is this coming Friday 25.10 Desiree, Julf, Achilleas -- RIPE Coop WG Co-Chairs

Hi all, In case not seen, the European Commission has adopted the Implementing Regulation and Annex on the 'cybersecurity risk-management and reporting obligations for digital infrastructure, providers and ICT service managers': https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/nis2-commission-implementi… In terms of next steps, the implementing regulation will be published in the Official Journal in due course and enter into force 20 days following after that. Meanwhile, most EU member states are still about to transpose the new framework into their national legislation. All best Romain -- Romain Bosc Sr Public Policy & Governance Officer RIPE NCC E: rbosc(a)ripe.net

Revising the Criteria for the Accreditation of Regional Internet Registries
by Athina Fragkouli 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, I would like to share an update on the ongoing work to revise the criteria for the accreditation of Regional Internet Registries. The NRO NC has published a document with proposed principles for the recognition of RIRs and ongoing requirements that RIRs should meet. You can read the details in my article published on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/revising-the-criteria-for-the-accredita… This is an important step in the RIRs' and their respective communities' efforts to prove that there are adequate checks and balances to ensure the stability and self-governance of the Internet Numbers Registry System. As part of the RIPE community, I encourage you to share your thoughts on the proposed principles via the designated questionnaire, which is open until 19 November 2024. You can find the proposed principles document and the questionnaire at the following link: https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/ There will also be a presentation on the NRO NC's work by Hervé Clément during RIPE 89 in the RIPE Community Plenary session. Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC

FYI: Sanctions and infrastructural ideologies - Policy & Internet - Wiley Online Library
by Vesna Manojlovic ＠ RIPE.net 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, I wanted to share the paper, by Niels ten Oever (et.al.), (with permission), since I find it relevant for this Working group: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/poi3.422 "Sanctions and infrastructural ideologies: Assessing the material shaping of EU digital sovereignty in response to the war in Ukraine" Authors: Niels ten Oever, Clement Perarnaud, John Kristoff, Moritz Müller, Max Resing, Arturo Filasto, Chris Kanich First published: 11 September 2024 https://doi.org/10.1002/poi3.422 Abstract In this paper, we interrogate the sanctions instated against Russian media by the European Union (EU) in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We do this in three ways. First, we present the outcome of extensive network measurements that show the heterogeneous implementation of the sanctions in EU Member States. Second, we explain how the sanctions fit the EU's digital sovereignty agenda. And third, we theorise the EU's digital sovereignty policies and sanctions as the emergence of a repressive state apparatus that forms a metagovernance regime with the ideological state apparatus of multistakeholder internet governance. We explain how networks are shaped in the dialectical relation between the ideological and repressive state apparatuses by showing how multistakeholder internet governance aims to stay politically neutral to accommodate the politics of different repressive state apparatuses. In turn, repressive state apparatuses define their demands in a technologically neutral way so multistakeholder internet governance can continue to develop and adapt communication networks. This research combines methods from Computer Science with theoretical frameworks from European Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Media Studies and International Relations. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the practice of interdisciplinary analysis of communication networks and debates on digital sovereignty, European infrastructuralisation, and internet governance.
