Reminder: RIPE 75 IoT session and discussion on an IoT WG (Tuesday 24 October)
by Marco Hogewoning 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

Dear Colleagues, Following the Birds-of-a-Feather sessions during RIPE 73 and RIPE 74, some members of the RIPE community have been discussing the possibility of establishing a RIPE IoT Working Group. Apart from the face-to-face meetings mentioned and the recent RIPE IoT Roundtable Meeting in Leeds, this discussion has taken place on the RIPE iot-discussion mailing list. The archives of this are available via https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-lists/iot-discussion During RIPE 74 closing plenary, the community agreed to dedicate a session to the Internet of Things. This session will take place as part of the RIPE 75 programme, on Tuesday 24 October at 14:00 local time (10:00 UTC) in the main room. As part of the agenda, we intend to continue the discussion about the need for and charter of a possible Internet of Things Working Group, with the aim to present the results to the RIPE 75 closing plenary. We kindly invite you all to participate in this discussion, either here on site in Dubai or via the remote participation available via the meeting website: https://ripe75.ripe.net. Of course, we also welcome any feedback on this via the iot-discusison mailing list. Regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE 75 IoT Session Coordinator

Nigel, I don't think anyone would seriously suggest that the NCC ought to be bound to implement absolutely anything that comes out of the RIPE community without limitation. You are rather tilting at a straw man of your own creation here. However, when the taskforce asked NCC staff to look into this, they discovered (to their own surprise) that the NCC has no formal document of any nature that sets out a normative expectation that the RIPE NCC will so much as take community policy into account. That seems a curious omission. You are quite right to point out that the NCC has faithfully followed the community's will, and while you and your fellow Board members remain in charge, I am sure it will continue to do so. But part of the purpose of this exercise is to help create the conditions that make it more likely that your legacy in this respect is honoured by those that succeed you. Nothing we do can guarantee that will happen, but writing down that the NCC's history of implementing community policy is more than a mere coincidence of opinion will both help guide future Boards and give ammunition to Board members against anyone who argues that the NCC should do otherwise. Jim correctly pointed out that the community itself, not being an entity with legal personality, cannot sign an MoU. That removes one option for how such a normative statement might be recorded - but there are several others. The NCC does, after all, have contracts with its members. Personally, I think a better idea that I would like to see considered is to write into the RIPE NCC's governing statutes that one of the purposes of the NCC is to implement RIPE community policy. Of course this phrase would have to be suitable qualified to avoid the pitfall you mention, but I do not think that insurmountable, or even difficult: the NCC does have lawyers, after all. Finally, may I gently suggest that the extremely defensive attitude of some prominent community members to the work of this Taskforce is not a good look. Most of us are reasonably long-standing members of the community ourselves, and fully share both its values and well-proven way of doing things. Our aim is to support this community, not to undermine it. As William has said, nothing we come up with will simply go into effect: we will simply publish some systematic observations and suggestions for the community's consideration. Perhaps you might try to remain a little more open to the possibility that our report might be worth the trouble of reading, maybe even contain one or two useful ideas?

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
