by Axel Pawlik 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2018 is now available. This definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from the RIPE NCC membership. It outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-693 An overview of the main points from this year's Activity Plan and Budget are: - The RIPE NCC’s Budget will increase by 7% (largely due to Registry Maintenance, Training, IT and Information Security, DNS and K-root Operations, and Finance and Administration) - There is a forecast revenue increase of 15% in 2018 due to the increasing membership - The RIPE NCC plans to increase its FTE count by 4% in 2018 (from 149 to 155) - The membership fee will remain at EUR 1,400 - There is an anticipated surplus of EUR 6.3 million to potentially be redistributed to the membership - The cost per LIR is expected to be EUR 1,435 down from EUR 1,569 in the 2017 Budget Based on developments over the past few months, feedback the Executive Board received from the membership at the General Meeting (GM) and through other feedback mechanisms, changes were made since the draft Activity Plan and Budget was introduced in September. On the final page of the Activity Plan and Budget is a new Appendix 5, which outlines the changes that were made to the draft version published in September. Appendix 5 notes that there is additional Income of kEUR 491 in service fees and independent resource fees based on actual membership levels, as well as additional sponsorship income for MENOG meetings. It also notes additional budget of 481 kEUR for Operational Expenditures. Full details on all the changes are available in the Appendix. The Executive Board notes that questions arose at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in October that ask for more information on the RIPE NCC's longer-term outlook and strategy to ensure scalability and efficiency, including financial analyses and scenarios for the coming years. The Board is committed to providing information in this area and we will inform the membership when we are ready to present this. We are examining current market trends and we will provide scenarios and analysis based on this in 2018. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] Aligning End User and LIR Resource Transfers
by Ingrid Wijte 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Dear colleagues, We will soon be changing the way that transfers of End User resources are handled in the LIR Portal, by applying the same approach that is already in place for transfers of LIR resources. This is part of our work to make updating the RIPE Registry more user-friendly and secure. Once the change has been implemented, only the sponsoring LIR will be able to initiate a transfer of End User resources. This will allow automated checks to see that the resources are eligible to be transferred, and prevent typos or multiple requests being submitted for the same resources. It will also make the process more efficient on our end. You can read more about this change on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/joop_wiss/aligning-end-user-and-lir-resource-… If you have any questions or concerns, please let us knowby replying to this email before 15 December 2017.

Over 1,000 members cast their votes, and we thank them for their participation. Full details on the GM results, including the voting report, are available from: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2017 IoT WORKING GROUP At RIPE 75, the RIPE community reached consensus on the creation of a new working group focused on the Internet of Things (IoT). You can find video archives and slides from the IoT Session at RIPE 75 at: https://ripe75.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/iot/ You can find more information on the new working group at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-lists/iot-wg Note: subscribers to the earlier <iot-discussion(a)ripe.net> mailing list have been automatically moved to the new <iot-wg(a)ripe.net> mailing list. CONTACTING THE RIPE NCC The RIPE NCC has a new and improved contact form that you can use to get in touch with us. The new contact form combines the old contact and report form functionalities. The new form also presents suggested content to users that can help to provide them with useful information. Submissions made through the form will be ticketised and all documentation will be stored separately and securely in the RIPE NCC's Document Management System. The form is available at: https://www.ripe.net/contact-form RIPE DATABASE ABUSE CONTACTS (NWI-7) Your ORGANISATION object has an “abuse-c:” attribute that references a ROLE object with your abuse contact email in its “abuse-mailbox:” attribute. By default this contact is applicable to all of your resource objects (INET(6)NUM and AUT-NUM). However, you can now have an optional “abuse-c:” attribute on these object types if you wish to override this default. This attribute then needs to reference another ROLE object with a different abuse contact email in its “abuse-mailbox:” attribute. PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER ON 2018 INVOICE? Add your purchase order number to the invoice reference field before the end of the year via: https://my.ripe.net/#/billing You can find out more about the charges for 2018 at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/payment DMARC AND THE RIPE NCC Find out what the RIPE NCC is doing to provide the best solution for users and the RIPE community in relation to the DMARC email standard: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/dmarc-and-the-ripe-ncc RIPEstat COUNTRY REPORTS Get insights into the status and development of the Internet in countries or regions with this prototype tool.

Check it out at: https://www.ripe.net/ixp-country-jedi GEOLOCATION TOOLS A new range of geolocation tools developed by the RIPE NCC were presented in the MAT WG session at RIPE 75. These include a set of geolocation APIs that provide a best estimate of the location of a target IP, and the OpenIPMap UI, which enables users to visualise traceroutes on a map.

Whereas before, users could see the time at which a measurement took place, they can now also see the time at which those measurements were received in the RIPE Atlas data repository. This allows users of historical data to exclude measurement results that arrived late. NEW VENDOR FOR RIPE ATLAS v3 ANCHORS Meconet, the latest addition to our list of vendors for RIPE Atlas v3 anchors, is offering the new anchor hardware fully assembled with 3 years' warranty.
