Gender politics at RIPE
by Malcolm Hutty 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

I'm writing to follow up on the Lightning Talk analysing the sex of participants at RIPE meetings, and in particular the call for ideas for actions for the Programme Committee to take to "improve" the distribution (by which the speaker meant, to increase female participation). First, I will say that I was heartened that the speaker's analysis showed that participation at RIPE broadly matches the industry from which it is drawn. I would have been very disappointed if the predominantly male participation had acted to discourage women in our industry from attending RIPE meetings, and I am happy to see that there is no evidence of that. I do take issue with the speaker's personal claim that we should aim to "be better than our industry" and that we should measure success by whether female participation more closely matched 50% than matched female participation in our industry. And I'm worried by his call for the programme committee to act to move us in that direction. I think we all know where this is going; we've all seen this kind of gender politics in other spheres. Here is my credo. I believe that one of the positive characteristics of the RIPE community is that it is open to, and welcoming of, all participants. Our community has a wholly admirable tradition of robust discussion of ideas, exclusively on the basis of the ideas themselves, where contributions are weighed solely according to their own merits and not according to irrelevant characteristics of the speaker such as race, sex, nationality, or even employer or job title. That is something of which I think we should be proud, and we should jealously guard it against ideological attempts to introduce changes that would undermine it. If we go down a path that asks first for an assessment of the speaker's "diversity" (meaning their sex, race, and so forth), that would be a step backwards. To the female speaker who said she would feel more welcome if there were more female participants, I say this: I hope you feel welcome already. You are very welcome, as is everyone. And I hope nobody would judge how welcome they are as a zero-sum game in competition with some other group or tribe. I hope the Programme Committee does not start to say that contributions from men are less interesting or that presentations by men are less welcome because "we've got enough of you already", as is the clear if unspoken message of any attempt to artificially skew participation.

Mailing list for discussion of RIPE Chair selection
by Hans Petter Holen 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, When Rob Blokzijl stepped down as RIPE Chair, he asked that I put the wheels in motion to establish a selection procedure for future RIPE Chairs. At the last meeting I presented a proposal for how this could happen to start the discussion. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/hans_petter_holen/draft-ripe-chair-election-p… The RIPE Chair represents you, the RIPE community. This community has been, and always will be, driven bottom up and by consensus. Your ideas and input form the foundation of what this selection procedure will look like. Key questions for a procedure are: * Who can be selected as RIPE Chair * Who will select the RIPE Chair * How will the selection happen? Should we have an election? Decided by a show of hands at a RIPE Meeting? Evoting? A selection panel? A vetting process by the RIPE Working Group Chairs? Should there be a RIPE Vice Chair? Your involvement and consensus on the selection procedure is crucial. We've established a dedicated mailing list for this discussion: ripe-chair-discuss(a)ripe.net To subscribe to the list, please visit https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ripe-chair-discuss/ -- Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen RIPE Chair

IANA Stewardship Transition Completed
by Axel Pawlik 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Dear colleagues, On 1 October 2016, the IANA functions contract that the United States Government had with ICANN was allowed to expire. This represents the final step in the community-led IANA stewardship transition process that began in 2014. Oversight of IANA is now the responsibility of the Names, Numbers and Protocol Parameters communities that rely on its services. The five Regional Internet Registries have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in place with IANA that defines our expectations moving forward. A community-selected IANA Numbering Services Review Committee will assist the NRO Executive Council when it conducts periodic reviews of IANA's services. Aside from this, our work with IANA will be unchanged and members will not see any operational difference. We would like to thank everyone from the RIPE community who participated in this process — whether by sharing their views at RIPE Meetings or on the various mailing lists, or participating more directly within the CRISP, CCWG-Accountability and ICG groups. The ability of the five RIR communities to organise and contribute effectively to this global effort was a demonstration of the strength of our open, transparent and bottom-up approach. Since 2014, the RIPE NCC has maintained an archive of key documents and announcements relating to the IANA stewardship transition. You can find this on our website here: https://www.ripe.net/iana-stewardship-transition Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
