BTW, TOTP is supported by a recent Yubi key, so you can use it as a hardware token as well. But +1 for FIDO2 implementation, is a very popular standard with many implementations on the market. And it should be easy to implement on the backend/frondent side, implementation is very straightforward with many examples all-around. -- Oleksij Samorukov

Re: [members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [news] 168th RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting - Summary Notes
by Kaj Niemi 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hi, Thanks for a comprehensive report as always. They are interesting to read. Do you think it would be useful to share the PESTEL analysis (slides and/or report, I assume) with the membership? At least I am curious about the factors NCC itself thinks affect it. Regarding "bigger investment portfolios yield better returns" - I do not think that is how it works.. perhaps something else was originally intended to be written? In terms of return, higher expected returns should equal willingness to accept higher volatility (risk) in relative terms. The portfolio size itself only amplifies the return, whether positive or negative.
