[GM] Draft Minutes of the RIPE NCC General Meeting October 2019
by Athina Fragkouli 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, We have now published the draft minutes from the October 2019 General Meeting (GM). The minutes contain links to the presentations given at the GM as well as the results of the voting on resolutions. Included at the top of the minutes is a link to a new "GM Objections System". We would like to briefly explain what this is for. At the May 2019 GM, the RIPE NCC Articles of Association (AoA) were updated to include some procedural details about how GMs should be run. Article 19.4 explains that the draft minutes should be published within two working days of the GM (today), and also explains that members have a period of three weeks in which they can object to the draft minutes. For an objection to be considered by the Executive Board, it must be signed by at least 100 members. The new tool is designed to make this process simpler for members who wish to make an objection. Members can easily view and support other members' objections or submit their own. A RIPE NCC Access account that is associated with an existing membership is required to use the tool. You can find the draft minutes at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2019/minutes You can find the objection tool at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/minutes-objections If you are interested in the relevant text in the AoA, you can read Article 19.4 here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-726 Kind regards Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC

[news] Axel Pawlik Stepping Down as RIPE NCC Managing Director
by Christian Kaufmann 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, Today, at the RIPE 79 Meeting in Rotterdam, Axel Pawlik announced that he would step down as Managing Director of the RIPE NCC. Axel's announcement comes 20 years to the day since he joined the organisation. The Executive Board would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Axel for his outstanding service to the RIPE NCC membership and the RIPE community over the past two decades. The RIPE NCC had 1,600 members in 1999 when Axel joined, and during his tenure the organisation has grown to well over 20,000 members. This massive increase corresponds with the growth of the Internet into a tool that is essential to billions of people around the world. Axel's assured leadership meant that the RIPE NCC was more than able to meet the challenges involved in that growth. As the Internet grew, new actors became involved in the Internet ecosystem, and Axel embraced the role of representing the technical community to governments and intergovernmental organisations, making the voice of our community heard at the highest levels. He worked closely with RIPE Chairs Rob Blokzijl and Hans Petter Holen to develop the RIPE community as it not only grew but also incorporated new participants, developed new topics for discussion, and dealt with no small amount of contentious issues that needed to be addressed professionally and effectively. Axel was also integral to efforts to grow technical communities throughout our service region, and he was instrumental in the establishment of the ENOG, MENOG and SEE communities. He is personally proud of the RIPE NCC's efforts to accommodate the voices of everyone who is interested in the development of the Internet. Axel's very first Managing Director's Report in 2000 concluded with "... we look forward to continue working on the solid foundation of the RIPE NCC principles of neutrality, impartiality and openness to serve the Internet community and especially the RIPE NCC membership." Axel continued to make this the core sentiment of the RIPE NCC for 20 years. For this, and for so much more, we thank Axel and we look forward to his continued involvement in our community. The Executive Board will quickly start the process of recruiting a new Managing Director. In the meantime, the Board has appointed a new Management Team of Gwen van Berne (CFO), Kaveh Ranjbar (CIO) and Felipe Victolla Silveira (COO), who will lead the RIPE NCC and ensure there is continuity of service and operations during the interim period. Kind regards, Christian Kaufmann RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman

[service] Planned Maintenance Affecting the LIR Portal (18-19 October 2019)
by Matt Parker 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, We will soon begin migrating our ERP system to an online environment. This work will start at 16:00 (UTC+2) on Friday 18 October and last until 16:00 (UTC+2) on Saturday 19 October. The LIR Portal and other services within the LIR Portal will be unavailable during this period. This will include LIR account updates, new LIR applications, processing of payments, and ROA creation. We chose this window to minimise disruption between the RIPE Meeting and the expected IPv4 run-out in November. If you experience any problems accessing the LIR portal after this period, please contact us at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Matt Parker Business Analyst RIPE NCC

[GM] Voting on the RIPE NCC 2019 Financial Surplus
by Christian Kaufmann 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

Dear members, For the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM), the Executive Board is proposing three options for the RIPE NCC 2019 financial surplus. The Board feels strongly that this is an appropriate moment to strengthen the RIPE NCC's capital position to make sure that it can continue its work with a solid financial basis in the coming years. Therefore, the Board suggests that the membership vote for the option to add 50% of the financial surplus to the RIPE NCC Clearing House reserves and redistribute 50% to the membership in 2020. This option is a good compromise between adding more capital for improved stability and a predictable redistribution process where we return the financial surplus to our members. Although there are three possible outcomes (the two usual choices and the 50% choice), there are two voting options. This avoids the possibility of all options being rejected and no decision being made on the surplus. Option A (to add 100% to the reserves) is approved if it receives over 50% of Yes votes. Votes for Option B (to add 50% to the reserves) are only considered if Option A does not pass. If both options receive less than 50% of Yes votes, then the entire surplus will be redistributed to the membership in 2020. You can find more information in the supporting document: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2019/redistri… And we encourage all members to register to vote at the upcoming GM: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm-registration-october-2019 Regards, Christian Kaufmann RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman
