Revised PDP - Draft version 3 for your review
by Mirjam Kuehne 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, The deadline for comments to the changes we proposed to the revised Policy Development Process (PDP) document has passed. We reviewed the suggestions we received and made some adjustments accordingly. The new version (v3) is here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/polic… At the top of the document you will find a link to a page showing the diff to v2 (and also a diff to ripe-710, the current PDP document). Below you find the main considerations and changes we made. In addition to that, the communication experts at the RIPE NCC cleaned up and tightened the language throughout the document to avoid misunderstandings. Before issuing a last call, we would like to ask you to review this new version again carefully and provide any feedback before 27 May 2022. In order to be able to build consensus, it is also important to let us know if you are happy with this revised version of the document. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair ========= Main changes and considerations in revised PDP v3: 1. Introduction We removed the distinction between author and owner and the sentence related to that distinction in the introduction. 2. The Process Based on feedback received for earlier versions of this draft, we kept the strong suggestion to share an idea with the community before it enters the formal policy process. We clarified that this is not mandatory and strengthened the motivation. 2.1. Status of a proposal We reviewed the suggestion to add a fourth status “abandoned” in addition to open, accepted and withdrawn. We decided not to add “abandoned” as this case is already covered by "withdrawn" or “open” (in case someone else picks up the proposal). 4. Appeals Process We did not see enough support for introducing a separate appeals body. But based on experience with the first appeal, the entire appeals process is defined a lot more clearly now. 5. Changes to the PDP We received a comment that changes to the PDP should follow the same process as other documents in RIPE. RIPE documents are typically agreed by community consensus. While a specific, formal process has been agreed for development of RIPE policy, enthusiasm in the community for using this process for other RIPE documents is currently low. Therefore we kept section 5. that describes how the PDP document is changed through community consensus.

New on the RIPE Labs Podcast: Keep Ukraine Connected
by Alun Davies 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, A little over a month ago, the Global NOG Alliance put out a call to this mailing list asking people to help keep Ukraine connected by donating hardware that could be used to rebuild the country's Internet infrastructure. Just a few weeks later, they delivered their first shipment of vital hardware into the country. In this new episode of the RIPE Labs podcast, I catch up with the team to talk about how the first delivery went, how this all got started, and what's coming next: https://labs.ripe.net/author/alun_davies/keep-ukraine-connected/ Best regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC

IGF 2022 Call for Workshop Proposals
by Chris Buckridge 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, Please find below the call for workshop proposals for this year’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which is planned to take place in Ethiopia in November, but which will be a fully hybrid event (so you don’t need to be on-site to be an active participant, or even session organiser!). This IGF is happening at a very dynamic and significant moment for Internet governance - this is playing out in a variety of ways, not least in how the world’s governments are trying to engage with the Internet and exert varying degrees of control over its use and operations. You’ll note in the call for proposals that the IGF this year has been structured around five themes (each workshop proposal should relate back to at least one of these themes) - this is a deliberate strategy to reflect the themes that the UN has identified for a “Global Digital Compact” that it plans to develop in 2023 (see Commitment #7 here: https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/#download <https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/#download>). By structuring the conference in this way, it’s hoped that the IGF discussions will provide multistakeholder input to this development of this Global Digital Compact. The RIPE NCC (and our fellow RIRs) will be looking at how best to participate in IGF 2022, and will be happy to work with members of the RIPE community to ensure that this community’s perspectives and concerns are reflected in the discussions. If you’ve got any questions about the IGF or this process, please feel free to drop me a mail!
