Verisign to provide secondary DNS services for the RIPE NCC’s zones
by Romeo Zwart 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, In July we published a Request for Proposals (RfP) for a trusted third party to provide secondary DNS services for the RIPE NCC's zones: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/dns-wg/2016-July/003303.html Following our announcement, we received three final proposals by the conclusion of the process. We selected the best fitting proposal based on the technical and non-technical requirements in the RfP document. The proposal submitted by VeriSign Sàrl (“Verisign”) was the best fit. We subsequently signed a contract with Verisign, which comes into effect before the end of this year. The contract is for the period of one year, with the intention to renew yearly. Prior to renewal, we will look at the benefits of the service and actual market situation at that time to decide on renewing the service. We'd like to express our gratitude to all parties who submitted proposals. We look forward to working with Verisign in the future. Regards, Romeo Zwart RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: A Quick Look at the Attack on Dyn
by Mirjam Kuehne 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, We used a number of RIPE NCC tools and data sets to take a quick look at the recent DDoS attack on Dyn’s infrastructure. We wanted to see if this could be found in the data produced by the RIPE Atlas community. Please see on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/massimo_candela/a-quick-look-at-the-attack-on… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

co-chair appointment: yet another reminder
by Jim Reid 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

There’s still time for people to volunteer. But not much. Anyone who wishes to stand is leaving it rather late. They should do so before the end of this week. At present, two candidates have emerged and there have only been a few statements of support for them. This makes it a little uncomfortable to make a consensus judgement since just a handful of WG members have expressed an opinion. I’d appreciate it if more members of the WG spoke up. Vote early, vote often. :-) Not that we do voting.

New on RIPE Labs: IPv6 and DNS (by Geoff Huston)
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new post by Geoff Huston on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/ipv6-and-the-dns "The exhortations about the Internet’s prolonged transition to version 6 of the Internet Protocol continue, although after some two decades the intensity of the rhetoric has faded and, possibly surprisingly, it has been replaced by action in some notable parts of the Internet. But how do we know there is action? How can we tell whether, and where, IPv6 is being deployed in today’s Internet?" Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

reminder about the co-chair appointment
by Jim Reid 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Colleagues, there is still plenty of time to nominate candidates for the upcoming WG co-chair vacancy. Anyone can be nominated. They can even nominate themselves! Details of the role’s responsibilities are outlined in RIPE Document 542 tough this is a little out of date. Dave, Jaap and myself are of course happy to provide more details or answer questions from potential candidates - just get in touch. At present, only two names have emerged: Ralf Weber and Shane Kerr. More choices would be welcomed. So far, there have only been a few statements of support on the list for both Ralf and Shane. More voices of support would strengthen the consensus determination that has to be made. So vote early, vote often! Assuming we did voting at RIPE.... :-) The plan remains to have the WG discuss/endorse the choice of candidates on the list, make a consensus determination about that at RIPE73 and announce the result to the WG then.

DNS WG co-chair nomination
by Shane Kerr 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hello DNS working group, I nominate myself as co-chair of the DNS working group. I've been involved with DNS and with RIPE since the 20th century, and have written DNS software and worked for DNS providers of various kinds. I currently work for the Beijing Internet Institute doing DNS research, mostly in our root server testbed project, Yeti[1], these days. You may remember me from my previous stint as one of the RIPE IPv6 working group co-chairs, or possibly from the tragic BIND 10 project[2]. I am also currently on the RIPE meeting program committee. I have no specific changes that I think are needed in the DNS working group - there is always more proposals than room for them at RIPE meetings, with informative sessions and friendly participation. But I love the RIPE community and I'm a DNS guy, so I'd like to help out. Cheers, -- Shane [1] https://yeti-dns.org [2] Discussed here: https://ripe68.ripe.net/archives/video/153/
