Dear all, True to tradition from the past few years, we'd like to orgnise a special session for academics and NRENs parallel to RIPE 83. When: Monday, 15 November 2021, 14:00-15:30 CET / 13:00-14:30 UTC Where: Let me know if you want to attend and I will send you a zoom link If you are interested to attend, would you also want to talk about something? This can be: - Your recent research: it doesn't matter if it is published or not, finished or not. All that matters is that you want to tell us about it and maybe answer a few questions. The topics we are interested in: network measurement and analysis, IPv6, routing, network security, peering and interconnectivity, IoT, Internet governance. - Any project of your university or NREN - maybe you launched a new popular course or created a new platform for online learning? We'd like to have several talks of about 10 minutes. It's up to you whether you prefer to do them with or without slides. You can make it as informal or formal as you like. Yesterday and today I've called for interested academics to express interest in presenting.

Hosting an Academic Day at your Institution
by Gergana Petrova 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Dear all, I have a question for you. The RIPE NCC used to host in-person academic days on various topcs such as Internet 101, Routing, the RIPE Database, IPv6, RPKI, Internet Governance. With the current COVID restrictions we would like to move these online. Are any of your universities interested in such an online event? If so, can you support us by organising and spreading the word about the session and inviting students and we will deliver the content. Please let me know if you are interested. We can organise these relatively quickly. And if it does not work for you before summer, we can do it also in fall, regardless of the COVID situation. Looking forward to hearing from you. Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

Call for Papers: Workshop on Analyzing IETF Data (AID), 2021
by Lars Eggert 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Show me the numbers: Workshop on Analyzing IETF Data (AID), 2021 Web Page: https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/aid/ The IETF as an international Standards Developing Organization hosts diverse data on the history, development, and current activities in the development and standardization of Internet protocols and its institutions. A large portion of this data is publicly available, yet this data is arguably underutilized as a tool to inform the work in the IETF and research on topics like Internet governance and trends in ICT standard-setting. This workshop aims to enable engineers and researchers alike to mine the IETF's data sources in order to explore trends through the analysis of IETF data, such as email archives <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/>, I-Ds <https://www.ietf.org/standards/ids/>, RFCs <https://www.ietf.org/standards/rfcs/>, and the datatracker <https://datatracker.ietf.org/>. This work can be used to derive insights into the inner workings of the process of standardization, participation, and governance[1]. This workshop aims to bring together people who have already analyzed IETF data, those who are interested in the analysis of IETF data, and those who are interested in the results of such analysis as input for improvement of the IETF's work. We invite the research community, IETF participants, and others with an interest in the data collected by the IETF, its protocols, and participants, to submit a contribution to the workshop. Furthermore, we also welcome participants who are interested in the analysis that could be performed based on this data as well as those contributing considerations regarding future collection and handling of IETF data. Possible avenues for explorations include, but are not limited to: A. What are patterns for participation in the IETF (what are predictors for a long and productive tenure, when do people stop participating, what is needed to successfully produce RFCs)? B. How is the IETF community developing (i.e., affiliations, publications, language, nationality, leadership positions)? C. How do affiliations develop in the IETF (i.e., does a change in affiliation translate into a change in behavior, is there a relation between affiliation and leadership positions and/or centrality, what is the affiliation distribution per area and/or WG)? D. What social dynamics (gender, nationality, income, occupation, and other social dynamics) are not captured by IETF data and what data and research approaches are needed to develop further insights in the social dynamics of standardization? E. How productive and effective is the IETF, with respect to documents, pages, words, letters and in comparison the overall activities e.g. on mailing lists? F. How well is the outcome of the IETF used, e.g,. based on references to RFCs in research papers, product manuals, or other sources? G. What data would be relevant to collect that is not collected yet or what should be considered with respect to handling of personal data during the data collection and research. H. How effective is the IETF's consensus-based decision making process? Is there evidence that documents receive broad and effective reviews? Are experts with relevant expertise engaging with developing standards in a timely manner? Participation and Submission People interested in participation are requested to submit short position papers (500-1000 words). The paper can cover one or multiple of the following points, but this list should not be considered exhaustive: 1. Research questions and interests in IETF data; indication which question should be answered, the data needed to do so, and how these insights could be used to improve processes and operations; 2. Description of the IETF data they aim to analyze or the information they would like to see made available to inform their work (such as mailing list archives, or participation data obtained through the datatracker) and their methods for doing so (see footnote 1); 3. Potential and preliminary findings; and how those insights could either benefit leadership, WG chairs, and authors/participants, and/or society and industry at large; 4. Potential or preliminary findings and how those add novel insights to ongoing academic debates. Proposals for data analysis should also contain a brief consideration of any related ethics and privacy issues. The basic principles of ethical research are outlined in the Belmont Report2 (covering e.g., respect for persons, beneficence, and justice) and/or institutional ethics guidelines. The workshop will be invitation-only. The organizers will decide whom to invite based on the submissions received. Therefore, please indicate your interest by submitting a research proposal by September 29, 2021 to aid-workshop-pc(a)iab.org. The Program Committee members are Niels ten Oever (chair, University of Amsterdam), Colin Perkins (chair, IRTF, University of Glasgow), Corinne Cath (chair, Oxford Internet Institute), Mirja Kühlewind (IAB, Ericsson), Zhenbin Li (IAB, Huawei), Wes Hardaker (IAB, USC/ISI). All inputs submitted and considered relevant will be published on the workshop web page. Sessions will be organized according to content, and not every accepted submission or invited attendee will have an opportunity to present as the intent is to foster discussion and not simply to have a sequence of presentations. Position papers from those unable to attend in person are encouraged. A workshop report will be published afterwards. Logistics • Submissions Due: 29 September 2021 • Invitations Issued by: 15 October 2021 • Workshop Date: November 29 – December 3 2021 • Location: Online and at the University of Amsterdam (COVID-19 permitting). The workshop will consist of three parts: 1. opening workshop (Monday) 2. hackathon (Tuesday – Thursday morning) 3. closing event (Thursday afternoon) Feel free to contact the program committee with any further questions (including questions related to available data or expected outcomes): aid-workshop-pc(a)iab.org. ----- [1] Examples of such approaches are: https://www.arkko.com/tools/docstats.html, http://datactive.github.io/bigbang/, https://csperkins.org/research/protocol-standards/2020-12-10-ignacio-iesg-t…, https://sodestream.github.io/impact-of-early-engagement-on-longevity-of-iet… [2] https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/sites/default/files/the-belmont-report-508c_FINAL.…

The workshop welcomes women, but also men who share the same research interests and face the same career hurdles. The program of the workshop will include keynotes and discussions on careers in networking, but also technical sessions, where in particular junior researchers are welcome to present their research as poster presentations. Posters are solicited for research related to any aspect of networking and communications. All researchers in the networking and communications fields are welcome to submit their work for presentation at this workshop. Posters will not be published and can therefore be under submission to other conferences or workshops. Authors of accepted posters will be required to present their work as part of a lightning presentation session. Presenting a poster is a great opportunity, especially for students and junior researchers, to extend the visibility of their work and to obtain interest Workshop participation is free of charge.

Research Funding
by Gergana Petrova 19 May '21

19 May '21

Dear colleagues, RACI used to provide funding for academics to present their research at events such as the RIPE Meeting and the RIPE NCC regional meetings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the funds for this initiative for this year will instead be used to support research projects relevant to work carried out by the RIPE NCC. We invite academic and research institutes in the RIPE NCC service region to submit proposals to work on projects in these areas: - Apply machine learning and big data analytics to the collected routing data to identify and predict trends. - Apply and customise big data visualisation frameworks to the collected routing data to better display the data to users. More details are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci/raci-project-funding If you are interested, please send us a project proposal by 31 May. Feel free to spread this call to whomever you think might find it interesting. For any questions, please write to raci(a)ripe.net. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

Hi Slavica, Yes, it is our hope that the academics use our data. We will accept proposals with other ideas, so don't be discouraged to submit something, however using our data would be a bonus. By the way, we updated the button here (http://ripe.net/raci-funding) - now it leads to a template/form to fill out, since too many people asked for something like that, instead of just an email.
