Version 6 of IPv6 prefix delegations BCOP is out
by Jan Zorz - Go6 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Dear RIPE IPv6 WG, We received offline some good and valuable comments from MarcoH, addressed them and issued the version 6 of the document draft. https://sinog.si/docs/draft-IPv6pd-BCOP-v6.pdf Please, read and comment, if you think that we need to carry on with editing this document. If not, I would like to see if we can reach a consensus to move forward and ask RIPE staff to do the language check and publish this document as RIPE BCP. Any comments? Suggestions? For v6_pd_BCOP co-authors team, Jan Žorž

RIPE75 DCTM requirements ( small changes )
by Jetten Raymond 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hello IPv6 Working group! > ** NOTE FOR SPEAKERS[1] ** > > After Dubai had already been chosen as the location for the upcoming RIPE meeting, the authorities there (DTCM) have started to enforce some rules for conferences and speakers. All speakers (including remote speakers) will need to email the following information to meeting(a)ripe.net<mailto:meeting@ripe.net> before 15 September 2017): > > - Full name, title > - A colour copy of their passport > - A copy of their Emirates ID (if a UAE resident) > - Profile/bio for the speaker (at least 200 characters) > - Mobile number > - Email address > > This information will then be forwarded to the DTCM by the RIPE NCC. > > We realise that these requirements go beyond what was expected at previous meetings and that they may be a cause for concern for some people - especially the sharing of colour copies of passports. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this - we have to comply with local laws. If you do not wish to comply with these requirements then you will not be allowed to present on stage. You will still be able to join the discussions from the floor. > > [1] "Speakers" includes anyone who is presenting on stage - presenters, WG Chairs, and community members who are chairing or moderating sessions. This also includes policy proposers who are planning to present their policy. Attendees speaking at the microphones during the Q&A are explicitly not considered as speakers. The RIPE NCC has negotiated with the authorities in Dubai, and has some good news for us. It is now confirmed that a photocopy of speakers' passports is *not* required. Residents of the UAE are still required to upload a copy of their Emirates ID (in jpeg format). The information on https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dtcm-requirements/ has been updated. All attendees, and especially speakers, should take a look at that page to avoid surprises. Speakers will be asked to upload the above data via a secure webform provided by the RIPE NCC, who will then pass it on to the DTCM. The data will be permanently deleted from the RIPE NCC infrastructure one week after the RIPE 75 Meeting. Rgds, Ray, IPv6 working group Co-Chair

Same procedure as every year: Chair (Re-)election
by Benedikt Stockebrand 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi IPv6 working group, looks like it's time we did a bit of paperwork... According to the "IPv6 WG Chair Selection Process"[1] it is time for one of us chairs to step down and possibly stand again for re-election. Jen and I fought it out (and what you'd expect, I lost:-) and it was decided that I'll step down---to stand for re-election---effective the next WG meeting in Dubai. With the way things have worked out, I'd be more than happy to serve another term as a WG chair. Cheers, Benedikt [1] https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ipv6/ipv6-wg-chair-selection-proce… -- Benedikt Stockebrand, Stepladder IT Training+Consulting Dipl.-Inform. http://www.stepladder-it.com/ Business Grade IPv6 --- Consulting, Training, Projects BIVBlog---Benedikt's IT Video Blog: http://www.stepladder-it.com/bivblog/
