Call for input on all virtual RIPE 81
by Hans Petter Holen 28 May '20

28 May '20

At the meeting with RIPE Working group chairs on 20 May we discussed my original plan to decide on RIPE 81 as soon as the new RIPE Chair is appointed, but no later than the end of June. The consensus following the discussion the topic was that it would be unreasonable to expect the next RIPE Chair and vice-Chair to be able to take this decision just after the appointment. The PC and WG Chairs will use the upcoming weeks to discuss this, and your input is highly appreciated. The RIPE NCC Executive board meets on 16 June, and I would like to make the decision already at that time. While it is a decision on the location of a RIPE meeting is made by the RIPE Chair together with the RIPE NCC, it is also a responsibility of the RIPE NCC MD and Executive board to take the safety and employees arranging the meeting into account. Please let me know your thoughts by Friday, 12 June. Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen RIPE ad-interim Chair

The NomCom Requests your Support
by Daniel Karrenberg 28 May '20

28 May '20

Dear Friends and Colleagues of the RIPE community, If your feeling is something like "Oh no, not another long message from the NomCom! I wish they would just get on with it." you do not need to read further. It would certainly help us if you explicitly told us briefly to "just get on with it". Thanks Daniel ------------------ From: Daniel Karrenberg - Chair of the RIPE 2020 Nominating Committee. To: Christian Kaufmann - Chair of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, Franziska Lichtblau - Chair of the RIPE Program Committee, Hans Petter Holen - RIPE Chair ad-interim & Chair of the RIPE WG Chairs, RIPE Community. Christian, Franziska, Hans Petter, Friends and Colleagues, The process to select two persons to succeed Hans Petter Holen as RIPE chair has been under way since September 2019. The NomCom has worked diligently to run the process that has been agreed by the community and codified in ripe-727 and ripe-728. We have called for nominees, canvassed when we had only one nomination and received four further nominations. We have dealt with the unforeseen withdrawal of Hans Petter. We have recognised the increased urgency that Hans Petter's resignation as RIPE Chair puts on the process by slightly tightening our time line without compromising on running an exemplary process. We have held three formal and two informal meetings, talked to the nominees by teleconference and received substantial input about all nominees from a diverse set of people in the community. We have kept the community informed by announcements on the RIPE mailing list, by providing a dedicated blog, by publishing complementary material on RIPE Labs, by reporting to the community plenary at RIPE80 and by talking about our work whenever the opportunity presented itself. Last week, during RIPE80, there were some calls from within the RIPE community to stop this process and start over. There also have been suggestions to issue another call for nominations and then continue as before. Since our mandate does not extend beyond executing the process along an agreed time line we are extremely reluctant to deviate from this unless we observe a clear and strong consensus in the community to deviate for the sake of pragmatism. We have discussed this extensively and decided against changing the planned time line because we see no such consensus. We also considered the consequences: Deviating from the plan at this time would put Hans Petter into the difficult position of having to work a new and demanding job next to filling the RIPE Chair ad interim role. This is too much to ask of anyone even without taking into account the recent discussion on ripe-chair-discuss. Hans Petter has told us that he accepted the ad-interim role on the assumption that we will finish our work on time and that he will likely have to resign if we take significantly longer than planned. Unfortunately during the RIPE 80 community plenary there has been no discussion that provides further guidance to us. It is difficult for us to assess whether this was due to the virtual format of the meeting, widespread agreement with what we have done so far or any other reason. We certainly expected those who had called for changes to the process earlier during the week to speak up and a discussion to take place that would provide further guidance for us. This has not happened. We have therefore decided to briefly pause our process and not to start candidate selection after RIPE 80 as originally planned. We have continued with preparations but have not started discussing the nominees among ourselves yet. We ask the RIPE NCC Board, the PC, the WG Chairs and the community at large to give us timely guidance on how to proceed. The question before us is whether we still have the support of the community to continue with the agreed process and time line or whether there is consensus in the community that we should do something different. We need this guidance now so that we can keep the delay in the time line as short as possible. We also ask the community as a whole to support us once we do proceed. Daniel Karrenberg, Chair, RIPE 2020 Nominating Committee

RIPE 79 thank you!
by Hans Petter Holen 20 May '20

20 May '20

Dear colleagues, RIPE 80 ended last Thursday with 2002 attendees registered and an average of 1300 viewers per day. Thank you all for making the first virtual RIPE meeting a success! RIPE 80 was my first meeting as RIPE NCC's Managing Director, and I would like to thank all of you for your support and kind words. It was also my last meeting as RIPE Chair as I'll hand over the reins to the new Chair and Vice-Chair who will be selected by the NomCom in the coming weeks. During the RIPE Community Plenary, we discussed progress regarding the Code of Conduct and the Working Group Chair selection process. We issued calls to form new Task Forces to tackle both of these issues. I will share updates on these topics on the ripe-list. There were changes in the community with Constanze Dietrich replacing Jim Reid as the IoT Working Group Co-chair. Peter Hessler and Wolfgang Tremmel were elected to the RIPE Programme Committee. Thank you, Jim, for the excellent job and congrats to Constanze, Peter and Wolfgang. We were also happy to see that we could bring the RIPE Meeting spirit online thanks to a high-quality programme, creative social events, fun quizzes and the general enthusiasm and goodwill of the community. You can read the meeting report at: https://ripe80.ripe.net/programme/report/ Archives of all the meeting's presentations are online: https://ripe80.ripe.net/archives/ At this moment, it's still unsure whether RIPE 81 will be a physical or virtual meeting, but we will keep you updated and hope that you'll be a part of it. See you soon! Best regards, Hans Petter Holen interim RIPE Chair

RIPE80, RIPE81
by Gordon Lennox 15 May '20

15 May '20

RIPE80 was a success. Just look at the numbers. So well done everybody! Amazing job. So what next? As has been said, and indeed it is obvious, it is too early to make decisions about RIPE81 or even Milan. But I think we can be fairly relaxed about going virtual again for RIPE81 if we have to do so. But then what? Apparently there were once four RIPE meetings in the same year! But for a number of years we had three meetings each year, most of them in Amsterdam. Then we moved to two meetings, with many being away from Amsterdam. And of course in parallel the ease and scale of on-line participations has improved. It is interesting though to look at the on-site participation. It has varied markedly not only in terms of overall numbers but also in the mix. There is a fair amount of churn in there. And I am now also sensitive to the idea that low density travel will mean more expensive travel. I am of course looking forward to our next on-site meeting. Like many other people? But I would expect virtual meetings to now be part of the normal mix. At least one every other year? If not more? Gordon

Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Database Requirements Task Force BoF
by Daniel Karrenberg 07 May '20

07 May '20

Shane, TFers, Thanks for holding the BoF and for sharing this. To repeat and expand on my input at the BoF. 1.) I am missing language about evolution of the requirements and the database itself. A high level stock taking exercise like this one that aims to be the basis for a service has to make it explicit that it addresses just about one point in time and things *will* change. It makes sense to spend a few paragraphs on how this will be handled. 2a.) -- ‘Provide registration information of Internet number resources’ is a primary purpose. I would use a title like “Authoritative and Accurate Registry of Internet Number Resources’. As far as I can see it ‘Enabling transfer of IP resources’ should be part of that. 2b.) I suggest grouping a number of the other separate items under ‘Facilitate Internet Operations and Operational Coordination’: - Facilitating communication about usage of the resources - Publishing routing policies by network operators (RIPE IRR) - Reverse Domain Name System (rDNS) - The RPKI Database It is important that we emphasise the RIPE DB is not just a registry but an operational tool. 3.) This iteration seems too detailed for me already. The charter is ‘… The purpose of the document is to establish community consensus at the general level. …’. I think it would make sense for the TF to take a step back and look for the general themes behind the detailed issues. And to look at it from the point of view of the users, first and foremost the primary users, those who register information in the database and use it for operational purposes. Thank you again for working on this. If it was easy it would just happen. Daniel
