Hi, Karla, all – Karla wrote: > The RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task > Force held a meeting on 24 February > and the minutes are now available at: As a member, I take a keen interest in the work of the NCC Charging Scheme Task Force 2024. However, I find the latest meeting minutes difficult to follow, particularly given that, according to the Task Force webpage [0], the group should now be well in the phase of finalising recommendations for the Executive Board (February–May 2025). The minutes do not set out a clear list of decisions or actions, nor do they indicate that the Task Force is maintaining a register of risks associated with its recommendations, something I would expect, even if not explicitly mandated. From the minutes, it appears that the group has agreed to recommend: o The disaggregation of membership and service fees; o The introduction of transfer fees; and o A shift to charging per membership group rather than per individual LIR. Is this the full set of recommendations? The December minutes mention a draft report, yet I have been unable to locate a copy. Moreover, the minutes suggest that, at this late stage, the Task Force has not reached consensus on several key issues. The debate over tiered transfer fees remains unresolved, particularly concerning transfers requiring additional due diligence and the treatment of legacy holders. There was broad agreement that M&A transfers should be treated as policy transfers, yet a separate flat-rate fee for M&As was proposed to account for cases such as university mergers. This seems inconsistent. If M&As are to be treated as policy transfers, why should they be subject to a different fee structure? Could you clarify: o What decisions have been made? o What actions remain outstanding? o What risks have been identified and considered? I look forward to your response, and I thank you for your continued effort on this important topic.

Is there a good reason to continue having the unmoderated mailing lists?
by Ben Cartwright-Cox 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Hello everybody, I was going through the mailman instance and came across these two -unmoderated lists: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/members-discuss-unmoderated@ripe.net/ https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/ripe-list-unmoderated@ripe.net/ These mailing lists appear to be almost entirely full of spam/garbage, with such items like: * Petroleum Product Allocation * "Signed Contract Agreement.pdf" * "bulletproof RDP/unlimited SMTP/https cpanel" * "DHL Shipping Document/Tracking No Confirmation" * Apply For UK Loan Desire Is there much reason to keep these lists around? I assume keeping it this way poses some challenges towards MTA IP reputation at the very least, and people who are subscribed to a mailing list have some stake in ensuring that they can continue to receive email from RIPE mailing lists! Cheers Ben

Call for Volunteers for Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team
by Ondřej Filip 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Dear members, This is a call for volunteers from the membership to join the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May 2025 General Meeting election. The Executive Board election of 2025 will be the fifth to have a Code of Conduct (CoC) for Executive Board Election candidates. This is separate from the RIPE NCC Code of Conduct and RIPE community CoC. This code only applies to confirmed candidates during the election process. The Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team will evaluate reports of violations of the CoC and if a violation has occurred. The team for 2024 was made up of five volunteers and the Executive Board would like to express thanks to Cynthia Revström, Sebastian Becker, Nick Hilliard, Dr. Omid Mahdi Ebadati and Arnold Nipper who carried out this important work. The Executive Board would now like to ask for volunteers from the membership to be on the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May 2025 election. The task of this team will be to evaluate any reports of violations of the election Code of Conduct by candidates. If the team confirms that a violation of the election Code of Conduct has taken place, disqualification of the candidate in question can take place. If you are willing to participate in this role, please send an email to: agm(a)ripe.net by *Wednesday 12 February 2025*. The Board will then appoint members of the team from the list of volunteers. Members should not volunteer if they expect to become candidates in the election. The Executive Board Election Code of Conduct can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm/may-2025/eb-election/coc/ Kind regards, Ondřej Filip RIPE NCC Executive Board Chair
