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-n... 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-pacif...
