RIPE Accountability Task Force Update at RIPE 75
by William Sylvester 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

Dear colleagues, Over the past year, our task force has been reviewing the structures, documentation, and processes of RIPE to identify our accountability as an organization. At the last RIPE meeting, we finalized our mission and scope which we continue to work against. We will be giving an update on our work at RIPE 75, on Monday 23 October at 16:00 local time (UTC+4). We invite you to attend and encourage you to comment from the floor or via remote participation. We have allocated plenty of time for comments and we'd like to hear your thoughts.   In case you are not familiar with the task force and our work, here are a few key details. The task force was established at RIPE 73 in Madrid. Our focus is to identify the areas of accountability and to report back to the community with a review of RIPE's accountability. It is our goal to provide a final report which will include suggestions where the task force sees opportunity for improvement. The greater RIPE community will then decide how to respond or what actions to take. The task force will not be making corrective changes, that will be the responsibility of the community. We are mindful of the impact our recommendations might have on the community. Our intent is not to create bureaucracy, but instead to simplify and empower the values that have established RIPE and sustained the community for so many years. With that in mind, we have a few questions that have come up in our recent discussions that we would like to pose to the community. You can reply on this mailing list, or give us your feedback during our presentation at RIPE 75. 1. Do you think the "public benefit" or "the greater good" is a core aspirational factor in decisions made by the RIPE community? Alternatively, are RIPE community members merely working/cooperating for their own benefit? (If the community is only working for its own benefit, why have a last /8 policy that benefits newcomers, for example). 2. There is no explicit obligation anywhere that the RIPE NCC will adhere to policies developed by the RIPE community. Strictly speaking, the RIPE NCC is accountable to its membership only. Does the community feel that the RIPE NCC should make a declaration or perhaps sign an MoU stating that it will follow RIPE community policies? 3. There is no definition of consensus as it is used within the RIPE community. Is this something that is worth documenting? We will share some more details on this mailing list after our presentation at RIPE 75. We look forward to seeing everyone in Dubai next week and to receive community feedback on our progress. On behalf of the Accountability Task Force, William Sylvester, Chair

DNS Root Zone KSK Rollover postponed
by Axel Pawlik 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, Yesterday, ICANN announced that it is postponing the plan to roll, or change, the 'apex' cryptographic key used in the DNSSEC protocol, commonly known as the Root Zone KSK (Key Signing Key). The KSK Rollover was due to occur on 11 October 2017. This will now be postponed to allow more time for network operators using DNSSEC-validating resolvers to update their systems with the new KSK. A new date has not yet been set, however ICANN’s announcement says it is tentatively aiming for Q1 2018: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-09-27-en All network operators using DNSSEC-validating resolvers are encouraged to update their DNS resolver systems with the new KSK in preparation for the new Rollover date. If you have additional questions, please email ICANN: <globalsupport(a)icann.org> with "KSK Rollover" in the subject line. Regards, Axel Pawlik RIPE NCC

Network security and Brussels
by Gordon Lennox 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

The Commission has just published a little bunch of things on security. As a very simple guide: a “Communication” is about what could happen, a “Report” is about what has happened and the “Regulation” is about changing ENISA. A lot of reading! Too much? But of interest to various WGs, including of course the Cooperation WG and the new IoT community? So: A COMMUNICATION from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council. Making the most of NIS – towards the effective implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/1148 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-M… https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-A… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council assessing the extent to which member states have taken the necessary measures to comply with Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems and replacing Council Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-474-F1-EN-M… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the evaluation of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-478-F1-EN-M… A Proposal for a REGULATION of the European Parliament and of the Council on ENISA, the "EU Cybersecurity Agency", and repealing Regulation (EU) 526/2013, and on Information and Communication Technology cybersecurity certification (''Cybersecurity Act'') https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-477-F1-EN-M… Gordon

Global Consultation on Identifier Technical Health Indicators (ITHI) Project
by Nick Hyrka 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has developed a proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition in response to an ongoing ICANN initiative. Each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of its registry data. This is critical to the reliability of the RIR Whois databases which provide access to the public data of the Registry. For the purposes of measuring the state of the data, accuracy has been defined as “comprehensive, correct, and current”. The Registration Services coordination (RSCG) and Engineering coordination groups (ECG) have developed recommendations for how the RIRs can identify and measure risk associated with registry data accuracy. We are now seeking feedback on the NRO ITHI project proposal, specifically on the definition of the risks and measurements to report on registry data accuracy. Proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/RSCG_ITHI_Project_Proposal.pdf The deadline for providing feedback is 12 December 2017. Community feedback and discussion will be conducted on the <ithi-consult(a)nro.net> mailing list. You can subscribe to the global mailing list at: https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ithi-consult Key points for discussion: - The proposed approach - The proposed measurement matrix - Other information such as how often to measure, where to post results, what formats to share results Other links ICANN ITHI page: www.icann.org/ithi ITHI presentation from ICANN 57: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ithi-icann57-07nov16-en.pdf
