ASO Community Consultation
by Axel Pawlik 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Dear colleagues, The five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are asking their communities for guidance on how they should participate within ICANN in the future. In 2017, an independent review of the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) was completed. The review found that the ASO is one of the better-organised and more efficient parts of the ICANN system, is transparent and accountable, and is viewed by many as a critical part of the ICANN structure. You can read the full review here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ASO-Review-Report-2017.pdf The final recommendation of the review was that the NRO should initiate a public consultation with the five RIR communities to decide on the future structure of the ASO. The NRO Executive Council accepted this recommendation and is currently undertaking a consultation based on the issues identified in the review: https://www.nro.net/aso-review-consultation-2018/ We have included more background information on this consultation and the ASO in an article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/antony_gollan/deciding-on-a-future-path-for-t… There will also be a presentation and discussion on the ASO review in the Address Policy Working Group at RIPE 76. Remote participation options will be available for those who cannot attend the meeting in person: https://ripe76.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/ap-wg/ We now invite RIPE community members to send any comments or thoughts on the future of the ASO to <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> by 30 June. We will report back on the input we receive and the next steps at a later stage. Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Introducing SPF records
by Razvan C. Oprea 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Dear RIPE community, At 07:00 UTC on Tuesday 24 April we will introduce, in the ripe.net DNS zone, a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record with a soft fail qualifier that will allow remote mail servers to validate that the emails we send come from our domain. We are making this change because, recently, a significant number of Gmail or G Suite users have experienced issues when emails have been sent from our email servers. In certain cases, some of the emails were rejected or marked as spam. The only potential negative consequence of this change is that there will be an increased likelihood that forwarded emails will be tagged as spam by various email service providers. If you do not forward emails received from ripe.net email addresses, this change will not affect you at all. We're sorry if you were affected by the recent issues. If you have any concerns or would like more details about this change, please contact the Operations Team directly at <ops(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Razvan C. Oprea Senior Systems Engineer RIPE NCC

This is our last call for you to submit your proposals. You can find the CFP for RIPE 76 below, or at https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe76.ripe.net/ripe-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 76 will take place from 14-18 May in Marseille, France. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 76. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *8 April 2018*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) Speakers Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc(a)ripe.net. Also note that, on an individual basis, participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship Submissions Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe76.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ 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. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe76.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals 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 panellists, presenters and moderators. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/
