by hmi＠ripe.net 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Dear members, We are reviewing the processes around issuing free RIPE Meeting tickets. This is part of our efforts to be more efficient and transparent about our processes. We also want to introduce cost savings where we can without compromising the quality of our events. From 24 July 2023 onwards: - All new members will be entitled to make use of two free RIPE Meeting tickets. - All free tickets will be issued per RIPE NCC member rather than per LIR account. - The validity of the free tickets is two years from the activation date of the membership. - Those eligible to receive tickets will be emailed once registration for the RIPE Meeting opens. - The RIPE NCC will honour any previous commitments for those eligible for free RIPE Meeting tickets prior to the date of this communication. If you have questions about your eligibility for free tickets, please contact <meeting(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Hisham Ibrahim Chief Community Officer RIPE NCC

Final Cloud Strategy Published
by Felipe Victolla Silveira 13 Sep '23

13 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, We have now published the final version of our cloud strategy, which was approved by our Executive Board at its last meeting in September. You can find this on RIPE Labs here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strate… <https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strate…> Those of you who read our earlier draft won't find any surprises in the document. Apart from making it more concise, the only change is that the use of containers is now allowed under the strict interpretation of our 'Avoid vendor lock-in' requirement (this is noted in the table). The final part is to agree on the criticality of specific services with the community. We will give you an update on this at RIPE 83. Regards Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

Voluntary Transfer Lock V2
by Максим Смелянец 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Hello for everyone! In general I agree with the new policy text, thanks for all your efforts and work. But I also have some questions and wishes. There are some notices in the Impact Analysis as «There might be situations where the RIPE NCC cannot enforce the Lock. If the RIPE NCC receives a legally binding decision/order related to Internet number resources under a Lock, the RIPE NCC will have to comply with the order. The RIPE NCC might also not be able to enforce the Lock if it is against any applicable laws or regulations». Can you concretize what does it mean «binding decision/order»? And when you write about the «any applicable lows and regulations» - what exactly it meant by this? The same applies to the text of the policy itself in the paragraph Implementation Choices when you wrote about restrictions from any applicable laws or regulations. It is not clear what applicable lows do you mean. Because for example for Ukrainian holders it can be read as you can apply also low of occupying authorities. And my wish is to clarify all exceptions of the inability to enforce the lock and provide a comprehensive list of cases that constitute an exception, or provide criteria for determining the relevant situations in further accompanying documents or in the final version of the policy. Because the lack of clarity may lead to inconsistent decision-making and the implementation of the RIPE NCC blocking mechanism. With best regards to everyone, Maxim Smelyanets.

2023-03 Review Phase (Voluntary Transfer Lock)
by Angela Dall'Ara 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Dear colleagues, Policy proposal 2023-03, “Voluntary Transfer Lock”, is now in the Review Phase. The goal of this proposal is to allow resource holders whose resources are registered with the RIPE NCC to inform them which of these resources must not be transferred for a certain amount of time. The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this proposal to support the community’s discussion. You can find the proposal and impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-03 https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-03#impact-analysis And the draft documents at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-03/draft As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Review Phase is to continue discussion of the proposal taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft RIPE Policy Document. At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase. We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft document and to send any comments to ncc-services-wg(a)ripe.net before 31 August 2023. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC
