New on RIPE Labs: Detecting DNS Root Manipulation
by Alun Davies 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, In 2021, when reports emerged that hosts in Mexico were unable to reach whatsapp.net, it was determined that middleboxes were to blame. These devices were intercepting the queries to the root instance hosted in China and sending a bogus reply. Taking this as their starting point, Qasim Lone and colleagues have been investigating the prevalence of middleboxes using RIPE Atlas: https://labs.ripe.net/author/qasim-lone/detecting-dns-root-manipulation/ Best regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC

MAT WG chair selection
by Brian Trammell (RIPE) 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Greetings, all, It has been a while since we have run our chair selection process (see https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2015-February/000559.html) as we look to returning to in-person meetings in Berlin it occurred to us that now would be a good time to do so. To save you the fun of clicking through to the list archives, the process is as follows: > 1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at three yearly intervals, or as needed > 2. Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list > 3. The MAT-WG chairs issue a call for discussion as per normal. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. > 4. After two weeks the chairs declare consensus as they would do for a policy proposal Following steps 1 and 2 of this process: If you are interested in co-chairing MAT WG, please make your intent known by sending a message to mat-wg(a)ripe.net by Monday 28 March 2022; once we have a candidate list, wi’ll issue a call for discussion on the list. Many thanks, cheers, Nina + Brian (MAT WG chairs)

> Begin forwarded message: > > Hi Luuk, > > (As chair, running the consensus process) No, there is no reason not to go with three co-chairs for the next term; indeed (as a chair, stepping down, who has had fun with meeting logistics, and is an SRE at $dayjob) three chairs would in some ways be preferable, as it gives n+1 chair redundancy in addition to a breadth of perspective on measurement topics. > > Cheers, > > Brian > >> On 4 Apr 2022, at 09:55, Luuk Hendriks <luuk(a)nlnetlabs.nl> wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> On Tue 29 Mar 2022, 20:48, Brian Trammell (RIPE) wrote: >>> The call for interested parties is now closed.

Hi All, I worked with Massimo and Stephen, both are excellent candidates. However, in the past I had a chance to work with Massimo closely on the RIPE Atlas, and I know his passion towards MAT topics, so if it goes down to a single vote my preference goes to him.
