UNIBEL is a result of joint efforts of these institutions and keeps tight contacts with all organizations and persons interested in developing academic and research networking in Belarus. UNIBEL is supported by Ministry of Education and Science of Republic Belarus, State Commitee of Science and Technology and Byelorussian Foundation for Fundamental Research. UNIBEL is involved in several projects intended to develop and improve networking infrastructure in Belarus, such as: - "Research and Development Computer Network of the Republic of Belarus"; - "Networking in Education: Ministry's Computer Network for Administrative Purposes"; - "Electronic Communications in High and Secondary Schools", etc. UNIBEL Network was registered in RIPE in December 1993 and IP numbers were assigned. UNIBEL is full national member of TERENA, EARN and CEENet. Since the begining of December the users of UNIBEL can be provided with full Internet services. Dedicated 9.6 Kbps line Minsk-Warsaw has been established and IP-connection has been put into operation due to great assistance of Polish Academic and Research Network NASK. Additionaly UNIBEL has an access to Internet through EUnet/Relcom network (Moscow) and UARNET (Lvov, Ukraine) via dial-up lines. Dedicated line to Moscow (FREEnet) was ordered and PTT licence was obtained. In future a satellite station will be installed with assistance of Poland (NASK) and CEENet. This satellite connection will replace the dedicated line Minsk-Warsaw. Correspondence to: Andrey Ivanov ivanov(a)ok.minsk.by Sergei Kritsky kritsky(a)ok.minsk.by phone/fax: +7 (0172) 20 61 34

Take the 2nd entrance left and follow the signs to the meeting (15 min walk all together). Instead of walking down Kruislaan you can take the shuttlebus for 2 stops. Turn into Kruislaan and the bustop is a little way down on the right hand side of the road. or from Central Station you can: <> Take bus 22 in the direction 'Indische Buurt' to the stop at the 'Muiderpoort Station' and take shuttlebus 66 which stops outside CWI. b) Alternatively from Amsterdam Schipol <> Take the train from the airport railway station to the RAI station in Amsterdam, which is at the end of this line (10 min ride).

From the Amstel Railway Station <> From the Amstel station take the city bus number 15 the direction `Muiderpoort Station' to the stop on the corner of Kruislaan and Linnaeusparkweg (15 min ride, ask the driver where to get off) or proceed to 'Muiderpoort Station' and take shuttlebus 66.

Tickets of 2 and 3 strips can be bought on the bus or the tram but they are much more expensive. You have to validate the ticket yourself in the metro stations and in the trams (except on lines 4, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13). In the buses the driver will validate the ticket. Amsterdam is divided into zones: the old city is in zone `Centrum' whereas CWI is in zone `Oost'. You need to count how many zones you will be travelling through (from the centre - CWI is 2 zones) and count up that number of strips on your ticket + 1 extra. So in the above example you will need to stamp the 3rd strip. In case of overflow you stamp the last strip of the first ticket and start counting the remaining strips on the next ticket. Confused? Ask any member of the local organizing committee. Warning: BEWARE of pickpockets in crowded places. --------------------------

Re: DANTE CERT Service
by Sven Tafvelin 13 Dec '94

13 Dec '94

I have been listening to the discussion on the European CERT Coordination. I believe in the following: - Any service provider is free to and should be encouraged to organize a CERT to serve its customers. - A European CERT Coordination activity depends on being trusted both on technical and commercial aspects by the organizations depending on it. To me this makes it impossible for a service provider to coordinate CERTs in competing service providers. - The European CERT CC need to be organized and done on "neutral" ground. - Therefore I support the ConCERT-in-E proposal. - I see that TERENA by many (hopefully all) and even by commercial organizations is regarded as such a neutral ground. - The RIPE NCC is also doing work where neutrality and trust is important. The high standard of quality and neutrality has made that sensitive activity accepted everywhere. - It is my firm belief that the European CERT CC in order to be successful should be organized in a similar way together with or close to the RIPE NCC to assure the same qualities.

For task such as this I make a number of arguable statements: * This is a task which is not restricted to the academic or commercial bodies, it effects everyone. As such whoever takes on the job must be able to deal with all relevant bodies and have their confidence. * Although I like competition, this is not an area which is suitable for more than one organisation to be involved. * The job is in the nature of a police force and must have a reasonable range of powers (although at this stage the range of powers needs some thought). As such one wonders whether some governmental organisation should take on the task. Perhapse the EU should take an interest. * I am not at all sure that this is an area where volunteers are needed. We need guaranteed action which suggests permanent staff although ideas and suggestions from the volunteer side would no doubt be welcome. * As this is a somwewhat legal area I wonder whether this should be funded from governments or through the EU. Funding through UKERNA, DFN, TERENA et al does not seem appropriate since they do not represent the commercial sector. It may be better funded (if government funding fails) through site membership from those who wish to take advantage of the service.

> The Internet industry in Europe needs to sort out the funding of > 'mutual services' like the CERTs. While TERENA and RIPE-NCC are I To me all of this sounds like an operational issue, and doing any security coordination without the buyin from all the involved operators is likely to fail. My suggestion is that we put the question of European Cert-coordination on the agenda for the next EOF-meeting, wich is colocated with the next Ripe meeting in Amsterdam. ---Peter
