[GM] RIPE NCC General Meeting Extended to Wednesday, 23 May at, 09:00 UTC+2
by Nigel Titley 18 May '18

18 May '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, The voting period for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) is extended to Wednesday, 23 May at 09:00 UTC+2. The extension period takes into account the weekend followed by a public holiday in a number of RIPE NCC service region countries. Due to a miscommunication regarding the voting period sent to registered voters, the Executive Board has decided to extend this voting period to next Wednesday, 23 May at 09:00 UTC+2 to ensure that all registered members have the opportunity to cast their votes. This only applies to those members that have already registered to vote. Please note, no new registrations can be accepted. Votes that have already been cast are valid. Those who have already cast their votes can not do so again. The paper ballots have been added to the electronic voting system in accordance with the process I described in the GM, under the supervision of independent scrutineers. Because the voting period is still open, results cannot be calculated until the system is officially closed on 23 May. The above was formally reported at the GM on Friday, 18 May 2018. This can be viewed online at https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/webstream The results will be announced via webstream on 23 May at 10:45 UTC+2 by the Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board. The webstream will be available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/webstream We will email all members with the results next Wednesday. Again, we thank you for your participation in the GM. Best regards, Nigel Titley Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board

[service] Introducing SPF records
by Razvan C. Oprea 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, At 07:00 UTC on Tuesday 24 April we will introduce, in the ripe.net DNS zone, a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record with a soft fail qualifier that will allow remote mail servers to validate that the emails we send come from our domain. We are making this change because, recently, a significant number of Gmail or G Suite users have experienced issues when emails have been sent from our email servers. In certain cases, some of the emails were rejected or marked as spam. The only potential negative consequence of this change is that there will be an increased likelihood that forwarded emails will be tagged as spam by various email service providers. If you do not forward emails received from ripe.net email addresses, this change will not affect you at all. We have been made aware that some Gmail or G Suite users have lost emails or have experienced delays in mail coming from RIPE NCC mailing lists to which they are subscribed. Please review the mail archives of RIPE NCC Announce and Members Discuss to see if you missed any emails. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2018-April/thread.html https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/members-discuss/2018-April/thread.h… We're sorry if you were affected by the recent issues. If you have any concerns or would like more details about this change, please contact the Operations Team directly at <ops(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Razvan C. Oprea Senior Systems Engineer RIPE NCC
