Letter to ICANN - Proposal to Re-engage the AFRINIC Community
by Ulka Athale 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. ------------------------- The original announcement and letter in PDF format are available at: https://www.nro.net/letter-to-icann-proposal-to-re-engage-the-afrinic-commu… ------------------------- Public Letter Sent to ICANN Leadership Regarding Re-engagement with AFRINIC Community ------------------------- AFRINIC is facing governance challenges which need to be addressed with some urgency. Among these is the lack of a functioning board, which requires elections to be held to replace vacant board seats and re-establish quorum. The NRO believes that a free and fair AFRINIC election requires an effective activation of the AFRINIC membership and community towards informed participation. This process is underway, but it requires adequate and urgent resourcing to be as effective as possible in reaching every member of the AFRINIC community. The NRO considers that the best approach would be the launching of a program with the following aims: - Raising awareness and increasing the involvement of AFRINIC’s community in its governance model; - Hosting dedicated events, or collocating with existing community events, aiming to raise awareness of AFRINIC and its governance; - Ensuring high levels of community participation in these events and membership participation in the election; - Identifying capable and experienced candidates to serve on the AFRINIC Board; - Reducing opportunities for capture by any single interest group. To this end, the NRO welcomes the support of ICANN to contribute to the purposes of this program. While the NRO focuses on the above efforts and will contribute resources and leadership as needed, the intention is to collaborate closely with AFRINIC staff under their guidance and leadership to engage AFRINIC members in a fair and neutral manner. The AFRINIC organization and staff need strong support from global and regional institutions to undertake the work on the strengthening of the AFRINIC community and of AFRINIC itself. We thank you in advance for your support for community-based solutions to address the current AFRINIC governance situation. Signed by John Curran 2023 NRO EC Chair ----------------------- Kind regards, Ulka Athale Senior Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Re: [ripe-list] Request for IPv4 subnet

I second this sentiment, it doesn't make sense that an SP for an government entity cannot make use of government resources... To the point that a message like this smells funny to me.

Last Call for RIPE Code of Conduct Process and RIPE Code of Conduct Team Appointment Documents
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Dear colleagues, This is a Last Call for the following two draft documents with adeadline of 3 April 08:00 UTC: - Draft RIPE Code of Conduct: Process and Consequences [1] - Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Team: Appointment and Responsibilities [2] Since the end of the comments period, the RIPE Code of Conduct Task Force made one change to the first document to address a concern about potential conflicts of interest. In section 2 "Assessment Group is Formed", the document now states that "Both the person who made the report and the person who is the subject of the report should be reasonably convinced that there are no significant conflicts of interest among the assessment group." To address another concern, the Task Force verified that the document states that the Code of Conduct Team MUST exercise discretion when evaluating reports. I would like to thank the Code of Conduct Task Force members for all their work and especially for carefully listening to the community when drafting these documents. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [1] Draft RIPE Code of Conduct: Process and Consequences: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… [2] Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Team: Appointment and Responsibilities: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft…

DRAFT: Principles for Remuneration of the RIPE Chairs
by Niall O'Reilly 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Dear friends, After much unexpected delay, I am at last ready to ask you to read and comment on this DRAFT statement of principles for remuneration of the RIPE Chairs, which follows from a recommendation of the RIPE 2020 Nominating Committee. As your mail-reading app allows, you may choose to read this message either as plain text or as HTML; I also attach a PDF edition. I look forward to reading your comments. Best regards, Niall O'Reilly, RIPE Vice-Chair --- # Principles for Remuneration of the RIPE Chairs ## Notes for editorial attention This section is to be removed prior to publication. - Assign RIPE document number - Identify authors and acknowledge other contributors after obtaining corresponding consent from each. - Ensure that references are current. ## Introduction The RIPE Chair and Vice-Chair (together, the RIPE Chairs) have roles described in *The RIPE Chair* ([ripe-714][]). They are selected according to the process set out in *The RIPE Chair Selection Process* ([ripe-727][]). Over the years taking on the role of a RIPE Chair has become a significant commitment, as recognized in discussions on the RIPE Discussion List in [2017][initial discussion] and [2018][call for further discussion]. The sensitivity to conflicts of interest has increased too. In 2020 the RIPE Nominating committee selected Mirjam Kühne as RIPE Chair. Mirjam needed to resign from her job with the RIPE NCC before taking on the role. On recommendation by the Nominations Committee the RIPE NCC offered to provide reasonable remuneration while making [arrangements][] so that Mirjam can act without undue influence from the RIPE NCC. During this process questions were raised from the community about providing remuneration for RIPE Chairs and specifically whether it is appropriate that the RIPE NCC provides such funding. The RIPE Nominating committee made this recommendation (among others) in its report ( [ripe-762][]), *“Document community consensus about remuneration of the RIPE Chairs”*. At the time of writing the community has had some experience with the [arrangements][] mentioned above. ## Scope This document describes the principles of the RIPE community for remuneration of the RIPE Chairs including requests to the RIPE NCC in this regard. ## Principles The community wishes to be sure that the RIPE Chairs are able to put in the necessary effort for their roles and to stay clear of the perception of undue influence. RIPE Chairs will disclose to the community all potential conflicts of interest arising from their role as RIPE Chair as they arise including how they address them. In particular they will disclose their significant means of subsistence. RIPE Chair nominees will make this disclosure to the RIPE Nominating Committee. The community requests that the RIPE NCC continue to reimburse the expenses incurred by the RIPE Chairs in their roles. The community requests that, upon request by a RIPE Chair, the RIPE NCC provides appropriate remuneration for the time the RIPE Chair spends fulfilling their role. The community requests that the concrete arrangements for this shall ensure that the RIPE Chairs can perform their duties without undue influence from the RIPE NCC and that the RIPE NCC informs the community how this is arranged. The community requests the RIPE NCC Executive Board take responsibility for implementing these concrete arrangements. The community requests that the RIPE NCC continues to disclose the total cost of RIPE Chair support including expenses and any remuneration. ## Provenance The RIPE Chairs started working on this document in mid-2022, taking advice from the RIPE NCC. Daniel Karrenberg subsequently made a more concise draft on request of the RIPE Chairs. The RIPE NCC has indicated that it will consider the requests made in this document once the community reaches consensus on the final text. ## Historical and prospective timeline - 2017-11-25: [initial discussion][] on RIPE Discussion List started by Erik Bais - 2018-02-19: [call for further discussion][] by Nigel Titley - late 2022: preparation of draft proposal - 2023-03-07: initial draft released for community discussion - 202y-mm-dd: call for consensus issued - 202y-mm-dd: consensus declared - 202y-mm-dd: published as RIPE-nnnn ## Acknowledgements - RIPE 2020 Nominating Committee ## References - *The RIPE Chair* ([ripe-714][]) - *The RIPE Chair Selection Process* ([ripe-727][]) - *2020 RIPE Nominating Committee Report* ([ripe-762][]) --- [ripe-714]: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-714/ [ripe-762]: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-762/ [ripe-727]: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-727/ [initial discussion]: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2017-November/001268.html [call for further discussion]: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2018-February/001334.html [arrangements]: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2020-August/001945.html ---
