First RIPE Code of Conduct Survey
by Andrew McConachie 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

Dear all, The RIPE Code of Conduct Team has launched its first Code of Conduct survey to understand how safe people feel at RIPE meetings and how likely they are to report concerns. If you have a moment to answer five quick, anonymous questions - your input will shape what we improve next. We have more details on the background to this work in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/amcconachie/announcing-the-first-ripe-code-of-… But if you want to dive straight into the survey, it's available at: https://forms.gle/fyp9eCzy7jLzdh2m9 Best regards, Andrew McConachie - on behalf of the RIPE Code of Conduct Team

beIN && RIPE NCC && Notorious Markets

https://torrentfreak.com/bein-says-issues-at-ripe-ncc-help-piracy-as-a-serv… https://torrentfreak.com/images/USTR-2025-0018-0029-beIN_Miramax_2025-Notor… We had a nice presentation from beIN (rightsholder) at the Lisbon RIPE meeting, unfortunately it seems they are not very happy with the KYC procedure that RIPE NCC applies to their customers (I believe they mean the subsequent KYC for letting/renting (sub)resources). (from the article) “Poor governance and a non-existent know your customer” In the case of off-shore/bulletproof providers, beIN says that identifying the owner of an ASN using information held by RIPE NCC can prove impossible. “RIPE NCC requests its members or those who use RIPE NCC resources to provide accurate contact information. Some rogue providers abuse this system by posting false or incomplete information. This prevents rights owners and authorities from reaching them or successfully sending takedown notices,” beIN explains. Inaccurate information can include fake or unmonitored email addresses, false business addresses or shared locations with many tenants. This ultimately makes it impossible for beIN to identify the owners of off-shore hosting companies. If it’s unable to do that, targeting the operators of the PaaS platforms becomes impossible too. “In other words, the very concept of an offshore or bulletproof hosting provider seeks to rely on the ease by which this registration system can be misused through the provision of false or incomplete information,” the company adds. If RIPE NCC gets added to the Notorious Markets list, their Public Affairs and Regulatory team will be busy and as RIPE NCC is a Dutch and European association pressure from those directions cannot be ruled out (then change will happen whether or not the members agree (even as membership organisation the RIPE policies must be inline with the law)). The above statement of beIN does signal a important issue that not only facilitates copyright infringement but a larger enablement of criminal internet infrastructure, that can and is used for support for various nefarious activities. Renting ASN, IP blocks and not chancing to registration to the correct user makes it difficult to find the bad apples. Now the RIPE members can change the policies that deal with this themselves (I would guess this should be started in Bucarest) otherwise the likelyhood of RIPE NCC receiving a 'gatekeeper' assignment (as banks have in the financial industry) and the need for extra (expensive !) lawyers by the NCC will increase the membership contribution. (In NL Dutch banks have approx. 25% of their employees commited to this gatekeeper role) Cheers, Alex -- IDGARA | Alex de Joode | alex(a)idgara.nl | +31651108221

Loss of RIPE Community Member Fearghas McKay
by Mirjam Kuehne 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Dear colleagues, We were all very saddened yesterday to learn that Fearghas McKay had passed away while attending a conference. No doubt this will come as a shock to his family and those of us who knew him from his work in the community. Fearghas has been an active participant in the RIPE community for many years. He served as Chair of the EIX Working Group from 1998-2013, and has been a part of programme committees and steering groups for a number of Network Operator Groups and peering forums, including AfPIF, CAPIF and UKNOF, often taking the role of co-chair within these groups. He was also a RIPE Atlas Ambassador for several years, helping to introduce Internet measurements to network operators around the world. His contributions have helped shape the RIPE community and the interconnection world more broadly. We will miss his energy, his humour, and his friendship. On behalf of the RIPE community we wish to extend our condolences to Fearghas’s family and friends. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair
