Dear colleagues, We recently held our seventh meeting for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), in cooperation with the British National Crime Agency (NCA) and the other RIRs. Held on 12 March 2015, the purpose of this meeting was to discuss trends and developments that might impact the operations of LEAs and to gather the global law enforcement community’s perspective. A number of key points arose throughout the day: - The RIPE NCC highlighted that much of the information that LEAs required was publicly available and did not require a Dutch court order - Attendees agreed that the current multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance was preferable, but felt that LEAs and governments needed to engage more effectively within the existing structures - The relatively slow adoption of IPv6 and the spread of IP address sharing technologies such as Carrier Grade NAT will increasingly create issues around identifying specific end users - LEAs felt that cooperation with the private sector is extremely important and could improve greatly, but it was also understood that this came with additional costs In response to feedback from the RIPE community, a more detailed report of this meeting has been prepared and is available here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/lea-meetings/ripe-ncc-law-enforcement-mee... We would like to thank the NCA for its help in putting together this day and are looking forward to continue our engagement with the global law enforcement community. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this meeting or our LEA engagement activities in general. Regards, Marco Hogewoning External Relations Officer - Technical Advisor RIPE NCC
