To be clear, Nigel asked for the members to speak up to give the board guidance on this subject, he wasn't the one asking for the funding :) So members: please look at the slides and the video, and let the board know your thoughts on this! Cheers, Sander

Was wondering about that ... ;-)
So members: please look at the slides and the video, and let the board know your thoughts on this!
Here are my views on it: - RIPE is in a unique position due to its steadily growing member base and therefor member fees to support IETF together with ISOC - While RIPE members are mostly active in the in the Internets daily business, acting as ISPs and a community actively developing policies for this, I see ISOC (and also IETF meetings) in a more fundamental position. - Both positions combined will bring benefits to both communities - I would like to see (over the last years I've seen more involvement from people usually going to RIPE meetings, which is gret) more RIPE and IETF folks exchange knowledge and ideas - With this wish there's also an opportunity to attract a more diverse group, especially from keen but underrepresented humans - The RIPE and IETF communities have unique ways to meet up in person and stay in contact after these personal meetings, which is a very beneficial behaviour for everyone in those communities I think there's still a lot more to explore and to get people into those discussions. TL;DR I express my support for the RIPE NCCs participation in the long-term funding of the IETF -dominik -- rrbone UG (haftungsbeschraenkt) - Ruhrallee 9 - 44139 Dortmund HR B 23168 Amtsgericht Dortmund - Geschaeftsfuehrer: Dominik Bay

I think it is easy to agree with the general principle, however I was not impressed by today's presentation because it did not provide relevant information in addition (nor in response) to the discussion at the previous GM. Back then the plan was to transfer a million (USD/EUR, whatever) out of the NCC's reserve into the IETF endowment fund. It was explained that this would irreversibly sacrifice the exceptionally tax privileged status of that reserve. The RIPE NCC is already an ISOC organisational member and thus contributing to ISOC's budget and, essentially to the IETF's funding. Today we heard a less specific, but slightly changed plan that would spread out the flow of money across 'a longer period', assuming a decade. Ignoring inflation, that would be 100k per annum. In both cases, the donation would be accumulated in the safe part of the fund with the interest available for IETF operational expenses. Let's assume a rather optimistic 5% that's 5k in the first and an additional 5k per subsequent year, adding up to 275k after 10 years. I'd appreciate if anybody could explain to me why this achievement (not to forget the million that has changed hands in a single or multiple tranches) would be more in the interest of both the IETF and the NCC and its membership than a commitment by the NCC to support the IETF work with any fixed amount between, say, 50k and 100k per annum, over 10 years, immediately dedicated to IETF operations expenses. An increased ISOC membership level would even come with at least some participation in the relevant governance structures (that is the OMAC == Org Member Advisory Council and the ability to participate in board elections). Thanks, Peter

What Peter says. Supporting the IETF is good, with a yearly contribution to ISOC or IETF directly.

It's our money, so it's our decision. IETF just came asking. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.

As Peter and Gert wrote: It seems unclear why We (ripe) should support ietf with a one shot payment. Anyway I also would like to understand why IETF (today a big stone) don't ask its members/vendors for support. I could agree to use RIPE founds to support any organization that could not be able to have enough founds for specific reasons, but honestly, even if I know the IETF importance, I don't see any actions it tkake or took to support us (lir and ripe). Use a so big admount of founds seems not clear. My opinion is to refuse the ietf request or to give a scheduled and well documented annual support to be used for specific activity in benefith for both. I appreciate any clarifications Sergio Ioppolo Il 26/Mag/2016 09:24, "Gert Doering" <gert@space.net> ha scritto:
