IoT WG Survey
by Constanze Dietrich 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hi and happy new year everyone! I suspect whoever can afford it is, by now, in some kind of hibernation pre-stage waiting for the madness to be over (Wise choice!). That said, we (co-chairs of the Internet of Things Working Group) want to kick off 2021 by collecting some qualitative input from the RIPE community -- as to what IoT-related topics we should look into, what you'd like to see on the mailing list and during the sessions, who we may collaborate with, where we might contribute... So if you could spare a few minutes to fill in our survey -- that would be great! ;) Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdVVq38C96Mn_Lv8eDgiHGzt3TgzPfx_MM… Note: While we use the survey as a tool to collect feedback beyond the bounds of any mailing list, we intend to publish and discuss the results on the IoT WG mailing list. Cheers and kind regards Constanze Dietrich & Sandoche Balakrichenan

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). *** The ASO[1] is one of ICANN’s three Supporting Organizations. They review and develop recommendations on Internet Protocol (IP) address policy and advise the ICANN Board on policy issues relating to the operation, assignment, and management of IP addresses. The ASO Address Council (ASO AC)[2] hold monthly teleconferences, usually on the first Wednesday of each month, with exceptions to avoid clashes with Regional Internet Registry meetings and other meetings relevant to the Internet Numbers Community. Likewise, the IANA Review Committee (IANA RC)[3] advises the NRO EC in its annual review of the service level of the IANA Numbering Services provided to the Regional Internet Registries. The IANA RC hold three or four teleconference meetings each year, on dates agreed by the members to prepare their annual report. The dates for the 2021 meetings of both groups are currently being updated and are available at the following links: ASO AC Meeting Schedule: https://aso.icann.org/aso-ac/meetings/aso-ac-meeting-schedule/ IANA RC Meetings Schedule: https://www.nro.net/accountability/operational/iana-numbering-services-revi… Both the ASO AC and the IANA RC meetings are open to observers.
