Registry Services Ticket Response Time
by Marco Schmidt 06 Sep '21

06 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, We would like to give you an update on the ticket wait times in Registry Services, after discussions at RIPE 82 [1] and on the mailing list [2]. We have been addressing the issues causing delays. As the number of incoming requests continue to exceed previous years, we have taken on additional staff to help with the workload. We are also automating some of our due diligence processes which are currently time consuming. You should start to see improvements in our response times towards the end of this year once our new colleagues are trained and our automation is ready. In the meantime, you may experience slower response times. In other words, we will be slower before we can get up to speed properly, but we think this will be worth it over the long term. We also know from experience that we receive far more requests towards the end of the year which results in a bottleneck. We will shift resources to counter this, but we would also appreciate it if you could get some of these requests in earlier. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Registry Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC [1] RIPE NCC Operational Update (slides 4-10): https://ripe82.ripe.net/archives/video/584/ [2] Discussion on Members Discuss mailing list: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/members-discuss/2021-May/004353.html

Support canned reply

Hi, I am not sure if this or ncc-services-wg is the best place for this but I have now 2 times recently gotten this reply from the NCC for not being able to reply to my ticket within 24h. > Due to a very high workload, we were unable to process your request at this time and will process it the following business day. I really don't get the point of doing this, there is an auto reply confirming you have received my email so if I don't get a reply within 24h I assume that you had too many tickets or it is a holiday or something. I mainly also wanted to ask if others are also receiving this? -Cynthia

Dear Hans Petter, Thank you for announcing the voting report and results. I would like to repeat my question from the GM: > In order to provide more transparency, could the RIPE NCC publish > anonymised but raw voting data. Many people still don't understand > how the instant run-off is voting or how to recommend people to > support them with the most impact. For example, I don't know whether > voting for only candidate or voting for how or the two most preferred > candidates differs.

The > problem is that some people represent several members and therefore > get a weighting for more votes. Publishing such information could > compromise anonymity, which is very important. I don't see any problem to help to ensure that the correctness of vote counting algorithm. A single vote with weight N for candidates E,D,C,B,A can be represented as N votes for candidates E,D,C,B,A. Vote receipt code can be easily removed and anyone can run the algorithm again without compromising anonymity. -- Kind regards, Sergey Myasoedov You wrote Friday, May 21, 2021, 2:05:36 PM: > Dear colleagues, > The RIPE NCC General Meeting May 2021 took place virtually from 19–21 May 2021. > A total of 1,469 members cast their votes on three resolutions and > in the Executive Board election.

How many times have any of us heard someone say "I wish I could join RIPE and get resources but the signup fee of 2000 Euro is a non-starter". Are we trying to attract high school students? Is a 2000 Euro signup fee (being reduced to 1000 Euro in 2022) really a non-starter for a startup? Have we been losing LIRs and therefore we need to actively add new members at a lower fee? Perhaps offer options like: - reduce yearly membership fee to 1300Euro - reduce signup fee to 1000Euro - other options and let the membership vote what option we prefer. That would be the democratic thing to do. Right now the option is either accept the charging scheme or reject it and as far as I know it has never happened that a proposed charging scheme has ever been rejected.

LIR contact spam
by Cynthia Revström 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Hi, I just received an email from a @gmail.com address to my LIR contact address that is not used for anything else except maybe some other related object in the RIPE DB. In the email it appears they just want to buy a /22 and a /23, and how they say what method they want to use for payment, and that they can use whatsapp. My question is, has anyone else received this same email or was it just a one-off? And also, this is not the first email of this kind that I have received but I assume there is nothing much you can do other than to just mark them as spam? I am just asking as ARIN wanted to collect the Cogent spam emails I think, but I assume RIPE NCC has nothing similar for LIR contact spam in general (such as a "whois spammer list")? -Cynthia

RIPE NCC can do things to verify who has setup auto-responders to the mailing list and contact those users or unsubscribe them. Actually, they have said numerous times that they have or are working on a solution for this.. > > And where is the problem really? Is it so hard to instruct your MUA to > filter them? Yes, the e-mail addresses auto responding keep changing all the time. Every time I send an e-mail to this mailing list I get between 3-4 and a dozen e-mails. If they can not maintain a clean mailing list for the members, they should move this to a forum or something that can be kept clean. @RIPE NCC... do you plan to answer to any of my e-mails? As a member I demand an answer. Elvis

Removal of Belastingdienst from the mailing list
by Matthias Merkel 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi all, There have been many complaints about this on the list already, but Belastingdienst is still sending automated ticket responses to the mailing list. The emails don't even just go to the sender of the email, but to the entire mailing list. Can we give them an official deadline for until when they have to fix this or be removed from the mailing list? Matthias Merkel
