Dear colleagues,

I’d like to thank everyone who shared their thoughts and feedback with us about the potential impact of the Cyber Resilience Act.

The RIPE NCC submitted its contribution to the European Commission’s open consultation on the act yesterday. It included the RIPE NCC’s view on how the act could impact our own operations and a number of areas in which we believe further clarity is needed, along with some broader concerns we heard from the RIPE community:

You can find all of the RIPE NCC’s contributions to public policy and Internet governance consultations online:

The RIPE NCC is holding a Roundtable Meeting for Governments and Regulators in Brussels later this week (we look forward to seeing some of you there!), where we will also share our response with those in attendance and highlight the fact that the RIPE community remains a valuable source of technical expertise for public policymakers.

Best regards,

Suzanne
