Re: [iot-wg] Call for volunteers or nominations for RIPE IoT Working Group co-chair
by Constanze Dietrich 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi everyone! [Scroll down for the TL;DR] I am proud that so many of you trusted me to do a good job as co-chair two years ago and I'm happy that I was given the chance to move things forward together with Sandoche. I've also given the past two years some thought... While we could see some ideas for the WG in action, such as discussing a possible role of ISPs in securing (private) IoT networks, learning more about your individual interests and motivation in a survey and covering the governance side with Marco Hogewoning's regular updates, my main vision "to enable the members of the working group to get into an active exchange" had to be played in hard mode during the pandemic. With having to rely on merely virtual communication and meetings (and enterprises being focussed on a somewhat reliable delivery of their core services rather than advancing IoT technologies), I'd put it that way: Not all our strengths could be put into play in those two years. ;) Two years later, things are about to change again. With physical meetings in sight, I foresee much more interaction and motivation to engage in working groups such as ours, and while many enterprises face new challenges due to the war in Ukraine, some may actually pick up their IoT advances again... However, my professional environment has changed slowly but considerably since mid-2021 and it is unlikely that, for the time being, I'll be able to muster the time that the WG deserves and that the regular meetings require. Hence, I've decided to not stand again this time and let someone new take up the role as Sandoche's co-chair for now. (Sandoche, it's not you; it's me. ;) So... I encourage everyone interested to consider giving it a shot! It was a pleasure to chair the IoT WG sessions at the virtual RIPE meetings, but, honestly, I'm REALLY looking forward to the next meeting in my hometown Berlin and hope to see many of you there! :) _____________________________________ --> TL;DR: I won't stand again this time. As for Michael's remarks: In my opinion, I don't think one should end things during a crisis (which a pandemic undoubtedly is!) and that also applies to this working group. It would be a shame to close it, i.e. give it up, NOW. A few words regarding the selection process: After the call for volunteers yesterday, Mirjam suggested we might collect nominations off the list to avoid hesitation and (too) early support for the first volunteers. As that approach is backed by good experiences of other WGs, we could give it a shot. (Asking for opinions here... ;) Kind regards Constanze

Last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award
by Carsten Schiefner 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

[Apologies for cross-posting to various RIPE lists] Dear IoT WG members - this is the last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award that will be accepted until this Friday, 18th March, at 23:59 UTC. In seeking nominations for this prestigious award, which was created to celebrate Rob's contributions to the development of the Internet, the Award Committee (https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/22/2022-award-committee/) is interested to receive nominations of those who have reflected Rob's approach in either a technical or operational capacity. Please give some consideration to nominating individuals - but also teams and groups of people! - in your own community and/or the wider industry in the RIPE region who, in your opinion, deserve to be recognised for their work to make the internet and/or internet community better. To specifically have this emphasised again after some according queries: nominations of teams and groups of people are very well possible and wished for as well in case their collective work would match the criteria of the call as laid out! The Award Committee is particularly interested to receive nominations of contributors who, in addition to their own contributions, have also supported and enabled others anywhere in the world. Also, the Award Committee would like to encourage those making nominations to consider not only the community members in the later stages of their careers or who are widely known but also those who may have contributed greatly in the springtime of their career or discreetly for the greater good or who may be considered to be part of an unrepresented group. And last but not least: those of you who previously have made a nomination other than Wilfried Woeber, the 2018 awardee, may want to consider resubmitting a nomination. The complete details of the call and the nomination process can be found at: https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/25/call-for-nominations-2022/ Best wishes and kind regards Carsten (on behalf of the Award Committee)

what I'd want from DNS4EU
by Michael Richardson 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

I attended this "morning" (for me)'s discussion about DNS4EU. I don't know much about what the EC is put out in it's RFP as I don't live in the EU (..yet?) and aren't in a position to respond to it. Right now, people know about 8.8.8.8. They spray painted it on walls in Turkey a few years ago! Amateur network administrators, aka local teens, know that if someone is having problems with their device, that sticking 8.8.8.8 in sometimes helps. Many ISPs and many "pro-sumers" who configure their own home gateways will stick 8.8.8.8 in as a DNS server. I run my own recursive resolvers, but, on my desktop I have: nameserver 2607:f0b0:f::babe:f00d nameserver 209.87.249.18 nameserver 8.8.8.8 search sandelman.ca (The first two point to the same machine) Why? because sometimes shit happens, and that local VM is broken, and it's easier to use DNS to fix DNS. Yeah, I have breadcrumbs in my /etc/hosts too. So what I would like DNS4EU to do is to create a European hosted and operated alternative. It doesn't have to be run by a single entity. In fact, I think that this is a bad idea. But, it does have to have the same kind of "name" recognition as 8.8.8.8 (%) That might mean, literally, spray painting it on walls. Berlin people could hire 1UP crew maybe. It seems clear that this new resolver address will need to have multiple servers and and be anycasted. It could be run by a multitude of operators, with at least one per country. That solves the entire digital sovereignty issue, and the "local" denylist. a) This is where RIPE NCC starts to come in: find and allocate some memorable IPv4/24, and IPv6/48 for this. Let's call this R.R.R.R b) In order to run DoT, DoH, we need TLS certificates. If the system is anycast, and is run by a multitude of entities, then we need to be able to deploy certificates to a multitude of entities and each need to manage their own private keys. "dns.google" works because Google is a CA. (I didn't know that was the FQDN for it until I visited it just now) This is the second activity which RIPE NCC should be involved it: coordinating the certificates for the entities. How exactly to do this, technically, is an open question to me. There are many possible arrangements, including some new ones like RFC9060. c) The variety of entities running these servers need consistent and regular training. There is a further interesting thing to me, and that involves the IoT situations with DoT/DoH. There are three issues. 1) IoT devices that ignore the local resolver settings and try to use 8.8.8.8. This upsets many people (Vixie is loudest), because many of us have concerns about what the devices are doing. DoH makes it near impossible to observe. I have an IETF OPSAWG draft about DNS and MUD. There are privacy issues with the devices crossing national jurisdictions with their queries. I suspect GDPR ones, but I'm no lawyer. 2) Many would like to use DNS queries as canaries for malware on IoT devices. 3) Many would like to prevent IoT devices from being able to reach certain known malware sites. Recognize that when we allocate R.R.R.R, we get all of R.R.R.0/24 at least, and we could run a number of diffentiated services at R.R.R.I, etc. If R.R.R.I was promoted as a GDPR-safe place for IoT devices to send queries to, and if the canaries could be coordinated, then that would likely be a win for the security of the Internet. (Of course, making IoT devices pay attention to RDNSS and DHCP values would be my priority. But, return R.R.R.I to those IoT devices would make sense) (%) I know that 8.8.4.4 is also a google resolver, but I rarely use it. 1.1.1.1 is easier to remember. I can't remember the IPv6 for any of them offhand. Yet, I know sprint.net is http://[2600::] for instance. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | IoT architect [ ] mcr(a)sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF(a)sandelman.ca> . o O ( IPv6 IøT consulting ) Sandelman Software Works Inc, Ottawa and Worldwide

ACM SIGCOMM HotNets'21
by Aaron Ding 09 May '21

09 May '21

IoT WG colleagues, the upcoming ACM SIGCOMM HotNets is looking forward to your submissions: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2021/cfp.html We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers. We encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state of networking research, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected early results from a deployment, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations can support the possibility of the paper’s claims. We seek early-stage work, where the authors can benefit from community feedback. An ideal submission has the potential to open a line of inquiry for the community that results in multiple conference papers in related venues (SIGCOMM, NSDI, CoNEXT, SOSP, OSDI, MobiCom, MobiSys, etc.), rather than a single follow-on conference paper. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over “conference papers in miniature”. Finished work that fits in a short paper is likely a better fit with the short-paper tracks at either CoNEXT or IMC, for example. Submission and Formatting Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 12 point leading, 7 inch by 9.25 inch text block) including all content except references. There are no limits for reference pages. The archive (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2021/hotnets21-template.zip) contains a LaTeX class file that follows the prescribed submission format and an example of a paper formatted using that class. All submissions must be blind: they must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US Letter paper. Papers must contain novel ideas and must differ significantly in content from previously published papers. Submit your papers on the HotNets'21 HotCRP: https://hotnets21.hotcrp.com/ Important Dates Abstract deadline: June 18, 2021 (6 pm EDT) Paper submission deadline: June 25, 2021 (6 pm EDT) Notification: August 27, 2021 Workshop: November 10-12, 2021 General Chairs Andrew Moore (Cambridge) Srinivasan Keshav (Cambridge) Program Chairs Minlan Yu (Harvard) Laurent Vanbever (ETH Zurich) Publicity Chair Aaron Ding (TU Delft) Publications Chair Gianni Antichi (Queen Mary University London) Program Committee Amin Vahdat (Google) Anees Shaikh (Google) Anja Feldmann (MPI) Aurojit Panda (NYU) Behnaz Arzani (Microsoft Research) Brighten Godfrey (UIUC and VMware) Bruce Maggs (Duke University, Emerald Innovations and MIT) Chunyi Peng (Purdue University) Costin Raiciu (University Politehnica of Bucharest) Dongsu Han (KAIST) Ellen Zegura (Georgia Institute of Technology) Fadel Adib (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Junchen Jiang (University of Chicago) Kai Chen (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) Kyle Jamieson (Princeton) Larry Peterson (Open Networking Foundation) Michael Schapira (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Mina Tahmasbi Arashloo (Cornell University) Nick Feamster (University of Chicago) Ori Rottenstreich (Technion) Paolo Costa (Microsoft Research) Peter Steenkiste (CMU) Phillipa Gill (Google) Radhika Niranjan Mysore (VMWare) Rajalakshmi Nandakumar (Cornell Tech) Ratul Mahajan (University of Washington, Intentionet) Srinivas Narayana (Rutgers University) Xin Jin (Peking University) Ying Zhang (Facebook) Zafar Ayyub Qazi (LUMS) [cid:9fd28856-46dd-42e8-84a8-fc2750e6f1f5] Cheers, Aaron

FW: [ripe-list] Community Wellbeing Survey
by sandoche Balakrichenan 04 May '21

04 May '21

Dear all, RIPE appreciates your feedback to the below mail which has been sent to the RIPE mailing list. Kind regards, sandoche -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: FW: [ripe-list] Community Wellbeing Survey Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 08:13:49 +0000 From: Erik Bais <ebais(a)a2b-internet.com> To: wg-chairs(a)ripe.net <wg-chairs(a)ripe.net>, Mirjam Kuehne <mir(a)zu-hause.nl> *From: *ripe-list <ripe-list-bounces(a)ripe.net> on behalf of Erik Bais <ebais(a)a2b-internet.com> *Date: *Friday 30 April 2021 at 17:59 *To: *ripe-list <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> *Cc: *Erik Bais <erik(a)bais.name> *Subject: *[ripe-list] Community Wellbeing Survey Dear RIPE Community, A couple months ago we began discussing in a small group the challenges around personal mental wellbeing in the RIPE community and how we could potentially investigate the issue and what we could potentially put in place to make things better. One outcome of that was the development of a questionnaire around how the community is coping in the current Covid-19 era. ( The questionnaire is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JPNJG57 <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JPNJG57> ) Participating in this is a personal decision for you but we do appreciate your feedback, either via the questionnaire or other means. As some of you may know, I did a presentation in 2019 at the Dutch Network Operator Group ( NLNOG ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7areInUXbyo <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7areInUXbyo> about working in a toxic work environment and the risks of running into a burnout. This topic, ( having a burnout . .the risks and being able to talk about this in groups of small peers or even in public ) is in many countries and communities still a taboo topic. Based on the experiences that we have from that presentation and what it did for the people in the Dutch NLNOG community.. and providing a safe place for people to talk and discuss about this.. We decided that we also would like to see what the current state is in the larger community .. and start with a questionnaire on the topic. The feedback and results of the questionnaire ( and your input is highly appreciated if you participate ) will be looked at and I will do a presentation in a plenary at RIPE82 in a couple weeks. The goal is to see if we as a RIPE community need to provide similar ways for people in our region to (anonymously) be able to communicate about various topics that may or may not be directly work related. It could be that we need to have a place where we can discuss about the situation working remote .. not being able to go to the office.. the additional stress that this brings .. or that we need to talk about what all those additional social distancing rules bring to you.. or how you feel about these rules.. for some it is a blessing .. and for some it works like a new stress factor as the rules are changing per shop / public store / building .. and some of us like to have nice and clear directions .. But also about how people deal with the lockdowns .. and don’t get to meet other people that have a similar interest .. or a relation .. So what we like to see is how are you feeling .. how are you coping .. or not .. And then the question comes .. can we help .. and how I’m aware that I’m currently the one that is pushing this as a topic in public (and here for instance) .. but I’m very aware of the group of great people that helped to get this initiative and questionnaire to a state as where it is today. And I would especially like to thank Eileen (INEX), Mirjam ( RIPE Chair ), Carolien (NCC HR) , Alastair ( NCC ), Ulka ( NCC ) Alun ( NCC ), Vesna ( NCC - for her mad Wiki and notary skills ) and the people assisting in reviewing the questionnaire already for us. We like to get the information before May 11th 2021, so that we have some time to look at the results and prep the ppt for the week of the RIPE82 meeting. The data itself will be stored for max 2 weeks after that.. and only 1 admin from the NCC and the HR manager of the NCC will have access to the data, besides myself. As we use the NCC survey monkey account for the questionnaire. All questions can be skipped if you don’t feel like you want to answer a specific question. And feel free to reply here on the list .. or reach out to Mirjam, Eileen (both in CC: ) or myself in private if needed. We are planning a bit larger support group once we are done with the RIPE82 meeting on this. To minimize tracking by Survey Monkey .. You can paste the questionnaire URL in an incognito window.. The questionnaire is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JPNJG57 <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JPNJG57> Thank you all in advance and see you all at RIPE82.

Re: [iot-wg] [IoT WG Focus]

Hi Peter! I think that's a great idea! Indeed, finding overlaps and ways to collaborate with other WGs was one of the ideas of the survey. I had posted it to the RIPE general mailing list as well but have only gotten very few responses from non-members (Btw... 11 responses from IoT WG members -- also not quite the quota I had hoped we'd be looking at...). In the back of my head, opportunities to work together are still best discussed in person over beverages, but I'd be happy to see IoT WG members sharing the link on other WG lists to get some more feedback before RIPE 82 (and thus, possibly more ideas to be discussed in the slot Sandoche and I saved for the results in the session agenda)!

[IoT WG Focus]
by Peter Steinhäuser 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

Dear collegues, since this working group was founded I feel that it never really got traction and struggled a bit to find it’s place in the RIPE community. Also there is not much activity, despite the working group's chair’s and some member’s efforts (hackathons, BCOP document, survey) to motivate WG members to participate more actively. The WG’s charter covers a huge field of possible activities around IoT while (to me it seems) other WG’s have more focus. I may be wrong but I think that this lack of focus makes it more difficult for this WG to organize joint activities. The majority of the activities of the (technical) RIPE WG’s are centered around IP and IP based networks therefore I think focusing on similar areas could help this WG to become a more lively part of the RIPE community. An example could be analysis and research around the thread protocol of the Project Connected Home over IP of the ZigBee Alliance. Based upon IPv6 and with products from major players already shipping this could be one possible field of activity that connects with other WG’s areas of expertise. I would be glad to hear your opinions! Thanks and best regards, Peter Peter Steinhäuser, CEO embeDD GmbH · Alter Postplatz 2 · 6370 Stans · Switzerland Phone: +41 (41) 784 95 85 · Fax: +41 (41) 784 95 64

Sandoche for co-chair
by Jetten Raymond 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

From: iot-wg <iot-wg-bounces(a)ripe.net> On Behalf Of Constanze Dietrich Sent: tiistai 13. huhtikuuta 2021 13.00 To: iot-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: [iot-wg] It's co-chair selection time! Again! I think Sandoche has done (just as you btw) a great job, i would like that he continuous as is now. Rgds, Ray Hi everyone! Sandoche's term as IoT WG co-chair is about to end with RIPE 82. Spoiler alert: He'll be standing again to serve another term, if the WG decides so. :) I want to encourage everyone interested in this role to get familiar with the WG co-chair responsibilities (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692) and put themselves forward. Of course you can also nominate someone else, provided they're a WG member and up for the job. As I'll have to keep track and, after all, have to make a judgement on consensus, I would ask for each candidate to start a new thread with, e.g., "[name] for co-chair", and for members to utter their support by replying to the respective thread. Please note: We don't vote; meaning: You're absolutely free to support as many candidates as you want and see fit for the role. Provided there are no reasoned objections from the WG, I'd like to set the IoT WG session at RIPE82 as a deadline to make (and announce) the decision. If you'd like further information about the duties (and joys) as a co-chair -- especially in the context of RIPE Meetings -- don't hesitate to contact me or Sandoche. I'd be happy to share the information and observations collected over the past year. :) Have a nice day! Constanze For Internal Use Only
