by Serge Radovcic 20 May '13

20 May '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey 2013 is now online. You can take the survey at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2013 We ask that you take this very important survey for the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community, and that you encourage your colleagues and contacts to participate. This survey will allow us to assess our services and activities, identify areas for improvement, and help shape our strategy for the coming years. The survey is carried out by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), which guarantees anonymity for participants and independent assessment of results. It will remain open until 17 June 2013. The results will be presented at the RIPE 67 Meeting in Athens. There are no limits on who can take the survey. RIPE NCC members as well as other interested parties globally are asked to participate. If many people in the same organisation would like to take the survey, they are welcome to do so. The survey conducted in 2011 by the OII provided us with 52 key findings that the RIPE NCC was able to act on, and we hope this survey will provide similarly useful feedback. This is your chance to let the RIPE NCC know exactly what you think and give your suggestions for how the organisation should operate. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Prize Draws ----------- To encourage participation, the RIPE NCC is offering participants the chance to win an iPad if they complete the survey. The first prize was offered to those attending or remotely participating in the RIPE 66 Meeting in Dublin on 17 May. Congratulations to the winner, Brendan Minish. The next iPad will drawn from those who have completed the survey by 14:00 UTC next Monday, 27 May. If you complete the survey by then, you will be included in later prize draws, giving you more chances to win. If you have any questions about the survey, you can email us at <survey2013(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, On 29 April 2013, the RIPE NCC, as a sector member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), formally submitted a document to the ITU Secretariat on behalf of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The document addresses a range of issues that will be discussed at the upcoming ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Policy Forum 2013 (WTPF-13): https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/internet-governance/multi-stakeh… In mid-April, various RIPE community members gave feedback on a draft of this document. It was updated ahead of its official submission and now includes more detailed information to address some of the opinions discussed by the Informal Expert Group (IEG) that was convened in preparation for the WTPF-13. An annex has been added outlining the efforts of the five RIRs to support the deployment of IPv6 and IPv6 capacity building. Representatives of all five RIRs will be present at WTPF-13 and, as always, are available for consultation on any of the points raised in this document, as well as any other aspects of RIR business. RIPE community members are encouraged to comment or raise questions on the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. Best regards, Paul Rendek Director of External Relations RIPE NCC

DNS outage
by Romeo Zwart 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, This morning, the RIPE NCC briefly experienced a problem on the ripe.net DNS servers. Operation of K-root and other public DNS services was not impacted at any time during this outage. At 11:45 UTC this morning, an error in the deployment script used to update the ripe.net zone caused a partial zone file to be activated. This caused the ripe.net DNS servers to return NX-domain responses for some valid hosts and/or subdomains in the ripe.net zone, which effectively rendered some of the RIPE NCC services unavailable during this period. DNS resolution for ripe.net was fully restored at 12:15 UTC. Caching of the erroneous responses may have caused reachability problems until 13:15 UTC. The error in the script has been identified and is only triggered in a specific corner case. This error will be corrected today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Incident start: 05-Mar-2013 11:45:01 UTC Incident end: 05-Mar-2013 12:14:58 UTC Regards, Romeo Zwart GII Services Manager RIPE NCC
