[news] Introducing Our New Translations Platform
by Fergal Cunningham 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Dear RIPE NCC Members, We invite you to try out the new RIPE NCC Translations Wiki. We have translated eight RIPE NCC topics into six languages - Arabic, Farsi, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. We are always trying to lower the barriers to participate and we’re eager to find ways to support members across our service region. This includes increasing our translated information for members. Go to the wiki: https://translated.ripe.net/ The RIPE NCC Translations Wiki is built using MediaWiki, an open source platform that accommodates translations of texts. This is a starting point, and we would like to create more translations of topics that are of interest to you. And longer term, we will look to incorporate this content on www.ripe.net once our CMS allows us to better provide for translated materials. The texts have been translated by external translators and reviewed internally at the RIPE NCC. If you think a correction is needed, or if you have suggestions for content you would like to see translated, please let us know at <translations(a)ripe.net>. We hope you will try out our new translations wiki, tell us what you think, and most importantly make people aware who might benefit from translated materials about the RIPE NCC. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC

[news] Introducing the New RIPE NCC Forum
by Fergal Cunningham 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Dear all, We invite you to try out the RIPE NCC Forum, our newest online space for discussions. We’re eager to find ways to make it easier for you to engage with us and one another, and by launching this new forum, we hope to lower the barriers to participation. Go straight to the forum: https://forum.ripe.net The RIPE NCC Forum is built using Discourse, an open source platform and it is open to all. The forum is read-only for anyone who does not create an account. We’ve shared more details about the ideas and technology behind the forum in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/ulka_athale_1/the-new-ripe-ncc-forum-talk-to-u… Over the years, we’ve heard many of you ask us for a forum, and for easier ways to stay connected with each other. We hope this forum is a step in the right direction. Please keep in mind that the mailing lists remain the official feedback mechanism to the RIPE NCC Executive Board and management, and all policy proposal discussions should still take place on the relevant mailing list. By adding a forum, we would like to create room for more conversations or discussions on topics that are of interest to you, like helping you learn how to use our tools or services, or to make it easier to connect with others who might have solutions for issues you face. Trying something new can be a bit daunting, so we’re starting off with the standard features available in Discourse. As we see the use of the forum evolving, we will consider adding more advanced features. For a while now, the existing RIPE Forum (our web interface for the mailing lists) has been displaying a banner announcing that it will be retired soon. This is due to the planned upgrade to Mailman 3, which has significantly improved functionality for searching and browsing mailing lists, making the existing web interface redundant. We will continue to support the old web interface until the upgrade is completed. In the meantime, we hope you will try out our new forum, and tell us what you think. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC

[news] RIPE NCC Executive Board Selects New Chair
by Hans Petter Holen 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, Ondřej Filip has been appointed Chair of the RIPE NCC Executive Board following Christian Kaufmann’s decision to step down as Chairman. Ondřej will serve as Chair from 1 September. He has served on the Board for three years and as Treasurer since 2020. Over the course of his career, he has served on the boards of many Internet-related bodies and has more than 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. Christian, who has served as Chairman for four years and as a Board member since 2011, is officially stepping down in September after being selected to serve a three-year term on Seat 10 of the ICANN Board of Directors. To enable a smooth transition, a new Chair has been appointed to allow for a transfer period and Christian will remain a member of the RIPE NCC Executive Board until his term ends in May 2023. With Ondřej’s appointment as Chair, Raymond Jetten will become Treasurer. Piotr Strzyżewski remains as Secretary and Remco van Mook remains as NRO EC representative, while Maria Häll becomes the Community Projects Fund representative. I would like to thank Christian for his work as RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman and for his time and dedication in serving as a Board member for over a decade. And I look forward to continuing to have an excellent relationship with Ondřej and the rest of the Board. Kind regards, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC
