New on RIPE Labs: EU Regulation Update
Dear colleagues, This is the second in an ongoing series in which we give a brief overview of the most pertinent policies currently being proposed, debated and implemented in the European Union. And Internet regulation is definitely a hot topic: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/your-eu-regulation-updat... Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC
If I am interested in discussing ideas to replace stupid "cookies law" which did not get much better with GDPR, with something more sensible, what is the proper WG to contact? Sent from my BlackBerry - I do not buy all that "security" nonsense, but I've got a physical keyboard!

Dear Arkenoi, The RIPE community does not make any legislation. With this RIPE Labs article we inform the community about recent developments at the EU. I suggest you contact the EU or your local government if you want to discuss changes to existing laws. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC On 14/05/2019 12:33, Arkenoi wrote:

Mirjam and other colleagues, There is precedent for the RIPE community taking a position on a topic. For example the RIPE DNS Working Group stated a strong option that the DNS root be signed, and a letter signed by the chair of RIPE, the managing director of the RIPE NCC, and the chair of the RIPE DNS working group was sent to ICANN: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/dnssec-key-repository/ripe-request-... Also, I believe that the RIPE NCC has hired EU lobbyists in the past, so in principle the RIPE community or the RIPE NCC members could ask the RIPE NCC to lobby the EU for a specific purpose (although I am not sure if that is true). I am not suggesting that the RIPE community *should* try to influence laws on browser cookies. But I think that if people want to that RIPE *could* be a place where it is done.

Shane, that was somewhat of a one-off. It may not be the precedent you’re looking for. There was strong (overwhelming?) consensus in the DNS WG and RIPE community to get the root signed. Preparing and sending that letter to ICANN was also a spontaneous, unprompted act. We didn’t respond to a consultation or a deadline. Which is where I think we are with this cookie thing.
I am not suggesting that the RIPE community *should* try to influence laws on browser cookies. But I think that if people want to that RIPE *could* be a place where it is done.
Indeed. I hope the RIPE community can quickly converge on a consensus opinion on cookies and submit this if/when there’s an appropriate consultation on the subject.
