Two-Factor Authentication for RIPE NCC Access Using Passkeys
by Felipe Silveira 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, Two-factor authentication (2FA) was made mandatory for all RIPE NCC Access accounts in March earlier this year, and we received many requests to use security keys as an authentication method. You can now use passkeys as a two-factor authentication method for RIPE NCC Access accounts, in addition to authenticator apps. Passkeys can be stored on an hardware security key (FIDO2 compatible) or in a password manager, potentially synced across devices. They are supported on mobile devices (iOS, Android) and by most browsers on computers. If you have any feedback, please contact us at ncc(a)ripe.net Kind regards, Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Technology Officer RIPE NCC

Consultation on Draft RIPE NCC Strategy 2027-2031
by Fergal Cunningham 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

Dear all, We are pleased to share our Draft RIPE NCC Strategy 2027-2031, now available at: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation/ The publication of the draft strategy marks the beginning of the consultation phase with our members and community, so we invite you to review the document and share your feedback. Your input is essential in helping to shape the final strategy that will set our direction for the coming years. You can have your say and contribute to the draft strategy by: - Sharing your thoughts on this mailing list - If you are a RIPE NCC member, taking the member consultation survey: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation-survey This survey allows members to easily give guidance on member-related matters such as development of Registry services. The survey is not anonymous - you will need to sign in with your RIPE NCC Access account. We are holding an online session with the RIPE NCC leadership to discuss the draft strategy on 9 October. You can register for this Open House at: https://www.ripe.net/s/open-house/strategy-2027-2031/ We will also have discussions on the draft strategy at the upcoming RIPE 91 Meeting, which we encourage you all to participate in. However you choose to provide your input on our draft strategy, we hope you will do so in the coming weeks. We consider this to be our key governance document, establishing the framework that will guide all our work for years to come. So please take this opportunity to join our consultation and let us know what we can do to bring value to you and to the Internet. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC

Call for presentations and co-chairs
by Rob Evans 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

Dear Working Group members, The co-chairs of the RIPE NCC Services Working Group hope you have had a good summer! With many thanks to the RIPE NCC, the minutes for our session at RIPE 90 are available at: https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/services/minutes/ripe-ncc-servi… If you have any comments, please send them to us at <ncc-services-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net>. We now invite you to submit your proposals for the session taking place during RIPE 91. From RIPE 91 onwards, all plenary and working group proposals can be submitted through the same system, Pretalx. How to submit your talk: 1. Go to the RIPE 91 Call for Presentations page and click on "Submit a topic": https://ripe91.ripe.net/present/call-for-presentations/ 2. Follow the instructions to set up an account on Pretalx. [1] 3. Important: When filling in the submission form, please pay attention to the dropdown menu under "Track". This is where you select which working group (track) you would like to submit your talk for. You can also send ideas for topics or presentations directly to us first. We can then discuss if it is feasible for this meeting before you submit the slides to Pretalx. Please contact us or the RIPE NCC if you encounter any problems with Pretalx. It is also my (Rob) turn to step down from co-chairing this working group. If you are interested in helping to co-chair everybody’s favourite working group, please consider volunteering. Fame and fortune are within your grasp! [2] The formal call will be sent out by the other co-chairs four weeks before the meeting, around the 24th September, and that will be open for two weeks before a call for expressions of support, and hopefully consensus, on the list that will take us up to the meeting. Regards, Rob, Janos, Stefan [1] Detailed instructions on how to use Pretalx are available here: https://ripe91.ripe.net/present/how-to-submit-a-talk/ [2] Fame and fortune may be within your grasp, but that is unlikely to be connected with co-chairing the working group.
