RIPE 80 planning update
by Hans Petter Holen 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Hi, I just want to share a quick update of the planning of the upcoming RIPE meeting. The programme committee and working group chairs are busy thinking about how to organize the agendas in the virtual format, and we are making great progress. The RIPE NCC Executive Board has decided to keep the General Meeting at the announced time, so we will plan the meeting around this. We aim to conclude on the meeting schedule next week and get the agendas in order thereafter. The meeting team is supporting us in this work, and making preparations for the technical support for the meeting. We have had two calls to plan, and will probably have a couple more to agree on the details. The minutes from the meetings has been posted at the regular place: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/cc/summaries A special thank you for the extra effort spent by the programme committee and working group chairs for making this happen. But especially the tremendous effort by our colleagues at the RIPE NCC, without them this would not be possible. Thank you! Enjoy your weekend as much as possible under the current conditions. Hans Petter RIPE Chair -- Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen - hph(a)oslo.net - +47 45066054

> Apologies, but can you explain what the impact could be to our > organisation ? my uneducated guess: some announcements which should have been marked invalid will have been marked notfound. so drop-invalid enforces, of which there are more and more, will have allowd those announcements through. unfortunate routing would only occur if one of those falsely notfound prefixes grabbed precedence over a legitimate announcement. i.e. there would be an attack window. randy

News from the NomCom
by Daniel Karrenberg 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Dear colleagues, RIPE 80 is going online and Hans Petter is no longer available. Here is how it will affect the NomCom plans: RIPE 80 going online will make it more difficult to gather community input to the NomCom process. We considered taking more time to make up for this. However, as Hans Petter has told us he is no longer available for selection, we will stick to the agreed timeline and aim to have the new Chair and Vice Chair selected by 15 June. We are also considering to speed up the transition period. Rather than waiting until RIPE 81 we aim to have the confirmed candidates assume their roles as soon as feasible. The intention is to minimize the period during which Hans Petter has to serve in the role of RIPE Chair in addition to his new role as Managing Director of the RIPE NCC. The NomCom will actively participate in the online version of RIPE 80 and we will do our best to collect as much community input as we possibly can. We will be there at the online community plenary and we will have online office hours. We aim to select excellent candidates for the Chair and Vice Chair roles and follow an exemplary process. As of now, we have three brilliant nominees. Nominations are open until 29 March 2020! You can find more on the NomCom blog [https://blog.ripe-nomcom.org/]. Stay safe and healthy Daniel Karrenberg Chair RIPE NomCom 2020

RIPE 80 Will Be a Virtual Meeting
by Hans Petter Holen 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

Dear colleagues, The RIPE 80 Meeting that was scheduled to be held in Berlin from 11-15 May will be a virtual meeting with a reduced programme due to the situation with COVID-19. RIPE is first and foremost a community, and I take this decision to ensure the health and well-being of the people in that community. I take this decision together with the RIPE NCC Executive Board. I have also listened to the feedback from the working group chairs, the RIPE Programme Committee, the Secretariat and the community itself. I will work with those groups to design a programme for a virtual RIPE Meeting that will bring value to our community and allow us to engage with each other, even if it is not the same type of engagement that we normally enjoy at a RIPE Meeting. I will also stay in close touch with the RIPE NCC Executive Board, who have contacted members to notify them that the General Meeting will be facilitated remotely. The RIPE NCC is currently investigating the best way to implement a successful virtual RIPE Meeting, and we will keep you informed of any updates by email and on the RIPE 80 website. We will do everything we can to minimise disruptions to those who have already planned to attend RIPE 80 physically, and anyone who has already paid for a ticket will be refunded. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always contact me directly or on the RIPE List. And the RIPE NCC is available to assist you with logistical help at <meeting(a)ripe.net> should you have questions or need support. I want to wish you all good health at this time. Regards, Hans Petter Holen RIPE Chair

Update on RIPE 80 and Other Events
by Fergal Cunningham 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Dear all, I'd like to give you an update on our organised events, including RIPE 80. So far, the following meetings have been postponed: - MENOG 20 - SEE 9 - RIPE NCC Day Tashkent We have also canceled RIPE NCC training sessions and member lunches for the coming period. We are updating this page with information on all our upcoming events: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/coronavirus-update We added a cut-off date for each event, by which time we will announce whether we will cancel, postpone or continue with the event. For RIPE 80, we are continuing with plans to have the meeting as scheduled. We will announce a decision on whether or not to continue with the event by 31 March. We chose this date to allow people who have reserved hotel rooms at the venue to cancel in time free of charge. If the physical meeting is canceled, we will also provide refunds to all those who have registered and paid for their ticket by then. In addition to planning for RIPE 80 to go ahead, we are looking at how a virtual RIPE 80 Meeting might work. We are investigating the options, looking at other virtual meetings that are happening, and we are discussing options with the RIPE Chair, RIPE Programme Committe and Working Group Chairs. Any decisions about the RIPE Meeting will be made in consultation with these people. As the links sent by Gordon noted, Berlin has banned gatherings of over 50 people. We are closely following the local situation as well as national and international updates. Should there be further news to give you about RIPE 80 before 31 March, I will send it to this list. And I hope you are all staying safe and well. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham RIPE NCC

RIPE80 and COVID-19
by Antonio Prado 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Hi, it seems that to date more than 150 infections with the COVID-19 virus are known in Germany, 1 confirmed case in Berlin (so far 60 contact persons identified), the press says. https://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article228589267/Coronavirus-Erster-positi… I know that RIPE NCC is looking into all possible effects it could have on RIPE80, but it's time to rationally start talking about that and let participants take consequent decisions with awareness and in advance. What do you all think about that? -- antonio

COVID-19 and RIPE NCC-organised Events
by Fergal Cunningham 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Dear all, First and foremost, I want to assure you that the health and safety of our community and our staff is at the top of our thinking as we make our event plans in light of the COVID-19 situation. Our website contains information on the events we organise and we will update this page to inform about relevant updates. And we will of course let the RIPE community and members know of important updates using this mailing list and the lists of other affected communities: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/coronavirus-update Last week, the decision was made in consultation with the Bahraini government and local hosts to postpone the MENOG 20 meeting. This decision was not made lightly, but we feel it was the right decision to make to ensure everyone's safety. If similar decisions need to be made for future events, they will be made in consultation with all relevant parties including the RIPE Chair, local government, hosts, sponsors and organising teams. At the moment, all our upcoming events are scheduled to take place as normal. We understand that this situation could change quickly, and we may be forced to cancel or postpone a meeting at very short notice depending on developments in the host country, in the Netherlands or around the world more generally. And we will not compel organising staff to travel when there might be a risk to their health or to the health of staff in our offices. So giving exact timelines or decision deadlines is difficult to do. There are many considerations with both continuing with events and with postponing them. We have set up internal task forces and consulted health experts to look at issues around COVID-19 generally and, more specifically, at contingency planning for events such as RIPE 80 should they need to be postponed. We do understand the logistical and cost issues at play for people planning to attend RIPE 80 and other events. We will ensure decisions are made in as timely a manner as possible to minimise any costs or disruption to people's plans. We also have a wider social responsiblity to ensure we do not in any way contribute to the problems that COVID-19 has brought about. Again, we will make decisions in consultation with relevant parties but always with the health and safety of staff and community in mind. We hope we will still be able to run a great RIPE 80 Meeting in May, but we do ask you to keep in mind that the situation is changing daily and we are working hard to ensure we are as prepared as possible for any eventuality. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Marketing and Communications Manager RIPE NCC
