it's co-chair selection time!
by Jim Reid 16 May '22

16 May '22

My term as WG co-chair ends at RIPE80 or theresabouts. I will not be standing for another term. First of all, bringing in new and hopefully younger faces to freshen things up is long overdue. Second, I only volunteered to bootstrap the new WG. That has been completed. So it’s time to step away and let the WG find somebody else. There’s some info on WG co-chair responsibilities in RIPE692. Anyone interested in applying who wants more advice on what the job entails, likely time commitments and so on is welcome to contact Sandoche or myself. Or any other recent/current WG co-chair for that matter. I would also ask potential candidates to start a *new thread* -- eg "Your name for co-chair" or something like that -- when they post on the list so there are meaningful and relevant Subject: headers which make it easier to make a consensus judgement. It’ll save the current co-chairs reading every message on the mailing list to decide if they contain something in favour or against a particular candidate. This will also make it clearer for other members of the list to express their support (or not) for a candidate. Anyone can volunteer to become a co-chair and you can even nominate yourself. There’s no requirement to have N people nominating a candidate for them be considered for selection (for values of N > 1). Ideally, it would be good to be able to announce the new co-chair at RIPE80. Though that could be too short notice since the meeting’s just under 4 weeks away. If you think more time is needed to decide, please speak up. There’s no firm deadline and we should take our time about making this appointment - provided of course the new co-chair is in place in plenty of time for RIPE81. Although I think 4 weeks (ish) should be long enough to find a new co-chair, this is for the WG to decide too.

To be published: Architectural Considerations for IoT Device Security in the Home
by Constanze Dietrich 01 Mar '21

Hi everyone! Since RIPE 81, the "BCOP" document was refined again and now declared DONE under the title: "Architectural Considerations for IoT Device Security in the Home" (document attached). The next step is making it an official RIPE document which requires consent from the members of the working group. (Note: If you're subscribed to the list, you're one of them!) *As in previous queries the response on the list was rather quiet, this time I'll take silence as "Sure! Go for it! Great work!".* *That said, I strongly encourage you to read it and post your comments to the list.* Have a nice weekend! Constanze

Hi everyone! I bet I'm not the only one feeling like things aren't moving these days. However, looking back on what's crossed our way in January IoT-wise, maybe they are moving after all. ***** Don't forget to take the survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdVVq38C96Mn_Lv8eDgiHGzt3TgzPfx_MM… ***** After that particularly graceful reminder, here's Sandoche's and my January collection of IoT-related online finds and recommendations: ***Articles*** A wristband that tells your boss if you are unhappy: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-55637328 A thing that would likely have that wristband alert your boss: https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7apnn/your-cock-is-mine-now-hacker-locks-i… 6 core capabilities an IoT device needs for basic cybersecurity: https://www.edn.com/6-core-capabilities-an-iot-device-needs-for-basic-cyber… ***Programs*** Are they actually going to put an S in IoT? /o\ https://csrc.nist.gov/news/2020/draft-guidance-for-defining-iot-cyber-requi… as part of the "NIST Cybersecurity for IoT Program": https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-cybersecurity-iot-program The TU Delft has an opening for a fully funded PhD position on Human factors in (IoT) security and security focused network measurement: https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/details/… Let us know if we missed anything! ;) Constanze
