RIPE NCC Engagement with the EU
Dear colleagues, We have published a new article on RIPE Labs, outlining the RIPE NCC's general strategy for engaging with the institutions of the European Union. It also looks specifically at recent legislative proposals regarding electronic identification (eID) and network and information security (NIS): https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/engaging-with-eu-legislative-process As ever, we welcome all feedback and discussion, either on the Cooperation Working Group mailing list, or on the RIPE Labs page. We also look forward to further discussion of these issues at the upcoming RIPE 67 Cooperation Working Group session. Best regards, Chris Buckridge External Relations Officer, RIPE NCC
Excellent. But we may also need now to consider the "Connected Continent" package. For pointers to the proposed regulation, the press release and more, see: http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/connected-continent-single-telecom-mar... There was already a roundtable in the Parliament on the "network neutrality" aspects last week. Gordon On 1 Oct, 2013, at 15:44, Chris Buckridge <chrisb@ripe.net> wrote:

Good point, Hank. If RIPE Labs is to be re-purposed, this should happen transparently, and by neither mission creep nor stealth. €0,02 /Niall

as far as I know, the ripe ncc doesn't have a blog site - labs.ripe.net is the nearest thing. This looks like the sort of article that fits well on a blog site because they are explicitly soliciting feedback, but no doubt if the NCC set up a dedicated blogging site, people would start complaining that there was duplication and resource wastage and all that. Can't win. Can't even break even. Does anyone (other than Gordon) have any comments on the content of the posting? I think this is probably more important than getting bogged down in discussing the mechanism used to reach out to the community and membership. Nick
Hi Hank, Hi all, Thanks for your input. I am happy to hear that you see RIPE Labs as platform for leading edge technical information. And it will certainly not become a policy blog. However, RIPE Labs was not only set up for technical topics. The scope was meant to be very broad as you can see in the About RIPE Labs section: https://labs.ripe.net/about/all-about-ripe-labs It is basically a platform to share ideas with others in the community. Especially if policy or other developments are potentially affecting the technical community, we feel that it is important to inform our community about these matters. And RIPE Labs is a place where we can explain background information and timely topics in some more detail than on www.ripe.net or in an email. Since its inception we have quite regularly posted non-technical articles. However, the vast majority of RIPE Labs content has always been technical in nature, and we expect this to remain the case moving forward. I hope this responds to your concern.
