Time to revisit RIPE and cloud?
by Hank Nussbacher 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

Perhaps the time has come to once again review RIPE's cloud strategy: https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strate… As recent outage events have shown: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status/history/ https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/ Hyper-cloud providers have super complex setups with many inter-dependencies, and it is unlikely that any one relevant tier-3 NOC person understands the entire setup. These outages will continue to happen and perhaps even more often than we expect. In regards to security: https://www.darkreading.com/cloud-security/microsoft-azure-cloud-vulnerabil… https://www.wiz.io/blog/38-terabytes-of-private-data-accidentally-exposed-b… Does RIPE still want to place some of their eggs in this extremely fragile cloud? Regards, Hank

Moderation of the Members Discuss Mailing List
by Fergal Cunningham 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Dear all, In June this year, the RIPE NCC Executive Board passed a resolution to temporarily place the members-discuss mailing list under moderation following the posting of inappropriate mails to the list. At its recent meeting on 4-5 September, the Board passed a further resolution to keep moderation on the list permanently. The Board took this decision because moderation has been activated for the list periodically when discussions become heated. The Board intends that this will bring a stable situation and ensure discussions are always carried out in a respectful and productive manner. The relevant section of the minutes from the recent Board meeting are available at: https://www.ripe.net/s/188th-executive-board-meeting-minutes/116/ The Board also decided to amend the process by which moderation takes place in order to streamline the process and ensure mails are processed as quickly as possible. Rather than having a RIPE NCC staff member and an Executive Board member jointly moderate the list, now the list will be jointly moderated by a member of the RIPE NCC’s Legal and Communications Departments. With this new process, emails will continue to be moderated in accordance with the RIPE Code of Conduct and the purpose of the mailing list. Members who feel their mails have not been moderated correctly can appeal by sending a mail to the Board at: exec-board(a)ripe.net. If the Board agrees that a mail has not been moderated correctly, they will instruct the RIPE NCC to process the mail through to the list. Additionally, all mails sent to members-discuss, whether moderated or not, are visible on the Unmoderated Members Discussion List for three months should you wish to check how mails are processed: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/members-discuss-unmoderated@ripe.net/ The Board and RIPE NCC staff thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing good discussions in the coming weeks and months on the Draft RIPE NCC Strategy, the Draft Activity Plan and Budget and proposals around the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC

Does anyone have experience with the seizure of IP addresses at RIPE?
by Thomas Czarnetzki 29 Aug '25

29 Aug '25

Dear, we are the sponsoring LIR of a company that has a claim against a RIPE member in Germany. This claim was confirmed by court judgment through an enforcement order. As part of the compulsory enforcement, there is a garnishment and transfer order instructing RIPE to transfer the members IP addresses. However, RIPE refuses to comply and comes up with all sorts of ideas, e.g. that the creditor should first become a RIPE member, or that the whole matter must first be served to RIPE by a Dutch court, etc. Obviously, RIPE does not seem to care much about applicable EU law and legal proceedings. The lawyer now recommends suing RIPE, since they are not complying with the garnishment order, thereby making themselves liable for damages, and should then directly pay the claim against the RIPE member instead of releasing the IP addresses. That would, of course, be even easier, since nobody would have to deal with the sale of the IPs, etc. Has anyone here ever had any experience with this? Or perhaps an idea how to get RIPE to act in compliance with the law? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Thomas Czarnetzki ------------------------------------------------- comtrance - your communication entrance E-Mail: t.czarnetzki(a)comtrance.net Internet: http://www.comtrance.net Telefon: +49 (211) 271 59 - 20 Fax: +49 (211) 271 59 - 21 Notfall-Support (24/7): +49 (211) 271 59 - 15 Unternehmenssitz: comtrance service GmbH | In der Steele 35 | 40599 Düsseldorf Handelsregister: AG Düsseldorf / HRB 96082 | Ust-ID: DE-349229353 | Geschäftsführer: Thomas Czarnetzki Alle unsere Leistungen erfolgen ausschließlich auf Basis unserer Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen.

Re: Does anyone have experience with the seizure of IP addresses at RIPE?
by Lars Grønlund 25 Aug '25

Thread: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/members-discuss@ripe.net/thread/RSMA… Hi Thomas, There is precedent in national courts treating IP addresses as attachable assets (e.g. *Amtsgericht Hamburg, case 67a M 93/19*, and *OLG Wien, case 3 R 195/14y*). The difficulty is that RIPE NCC, under Dutch law, considers them contractual “rights of use” and will only act on a *Dutch court order*. In practice, creditors either secure a voluntary transfer from the debtor or go through proceedings in the Netherlands. Without that, RIPE will not execute a garnishment. Best regards, *Lars Grønlund* GITC ApS · www.gitc.dk
