Results of the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 Now Available
by Serge Radovcic 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Dear colleagues, The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) report on the results of the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 is now published. The full report as well as the raw data containing all statistics and responses to open questions are available at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2013 The results of the survey will help us to improve our services and shape our strategy for the years ahead. In the short term, the results will be used to develop the RIPE NCC Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2014, which will be published for the RIPE NCC membership in the next week. This survey was launched at the RIPE 66 Meeting and conducted by the OII to ensure independent analysis and anonymity for respondents. Over 3,000 people responded to the survey, including from 75 of the 76 countries in our service region. This means the 2013 survey received by far the biggest number of responses to any RIPE NCC survey. The survey was open to RIPE NCC members as well as other interested parties from our service region and beyond. I would like to thank all who participated for their feedback in what is a very important project for the RIPE NCC. We hope you will take the time to read the survey results. If you have feedback, please email us at <survey2013(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Updated CFP for RIPE 67
by Filiz Yilmaz 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Dear colleagues, RIPE PC is now also accepting "Workshop" proposals for RIPE 67. Please find the updated CFP with pointers to all possible presentation formats below and at: https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/cfp/ Note that the deadline for submissions is still 4 August 2013. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz Chair, RIPE Programme Committee http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc ------------------ Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 67 will take place from 14-18 October 2013 in Athens, Greece. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 67. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: • IPv6 deployment • Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations • Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses • Data centre technologies • Network and DNS operations • Internet governance and regulatory practices • Network and routing security • Content delivery • Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/i-want-to-present/presentation-formats/ Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for “lightning talks”, which are selected immediately before or during the conference. The following general requirements apply: • Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 4 August 2013, using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/). Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. • Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. • Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format (https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/i-want-to-present/presentation-formats/) • Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators. • Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. ------------------

Future of RIPE NCC technical services
by Kaveh Ranjbar 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Dear colleagues, In June of this year, I took on a new role at the RIPE NCC and joined the Senior Management team as Chief Information Officer (a role formerly called Head of Science Division). Since that time, I've had a chance to review the technical services we provide to the community, and I’d like to share with you some of my ideas about the planned future direction of these services. To summarise, these plans include: - Focusing on RIPE Atlas as the RIPE NCC’s data collection system - Developing RIPEstat as the RIPE NCC's consolidated point for data retrieval - Service agreements and other plans for hosted services like K-root, authoritative DNS servers and RIS data collectors - A greater focus on data analysis We believe the plans we have in place will allow you to access our services more easily and efficiently, and make better use of the data we collect. You can read the full details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services I hope you'll take the time to read the full article and learn more about the planned future direction of our services. As always, we invite your comments and suggestions, which you can leave in the comments field of the article, or by contacting me directly at kranjbar(a)ripe.net. Our top priority is ensuring we provide you with the most useful services and data possible, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Best regards, Kaveh Ranjbar Chief Information Officer RIPE NCC
