Network security and Brussels
by Gordon Lennox 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

The Commission has just published a little bunch of things on security. As a very simple guide: a “Communication” is about what could happen, a “Report” is about what has happened and the “Regulation” is about changing ENISA. A lot of reading! Too much? But of interest to various WGs, including of course the Cooperation WG and the new IoT community? So: A COMMUNICATION from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council. Making the most of NIS – towards the effective implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/1148 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-M… https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-476-F1-EN-A… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council assessing the extent to which member states have taken the necessary measures to comply with Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems and replacing Council Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-474-F1-EN-M… A REPORT from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the evaluation of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-478-F1-EN-M… A Proposal for a REGULATION of the European Parliament and of the Council on ENISA, the "EU Cybersecurity Agency", and repealing Regulation (EU) 526/2013, and on Information and Communication Technology cybersecurity certification (''Cybersecurity Act'') https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/1/2017/EN/COM-2017-477-F1-EN-M… Gordon

Global Consultation on Identifier Technical Health Indicators (ITHI) Project
by Nick Hyrka 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has developed a proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition in response to an ongoing ICANN initiative. Each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of its registry data. This is critical to the reliability of the RIR Whois databases which provide access to the public data of the Registry. For the purposes of measuring the state of the data, accuracy has been defined as “comprehensive, correct, and current”. The Registration Services coordination (RSCG) and Engineering coordination groups (ECG) have developed recommendations for how the RIRs can identify and measure risk associated with registry data accuracy. We are now seeking feedback on the NRO ITHI project proposal, specifically on the definition of the risks and measurements to report on registry data accuracy. Proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/RSCG_ITHI_Project_Proposal.pdf The deadline for providing feedback is 12 December 2017. Community feedback and discussion will be conducted on the <ithi-consult(a)nro.net> mailing list. You can subscribe to the global mailing list at: https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ithi-consult Key points for discussion: - The proposed approach - The proposed measurement matrix - Other information such as how often to measure, where to post results, what formats to share results Other links ICANN ITHI page: www.icann.org/ithi ITHI presentation from ICANN 57: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ithi-icann57-07nov16-en.pdf

More details are available here: https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dctm-requirements Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe75.ripe.net/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 75 will take place from 22-26 October in Dubai, UAE. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 75.

Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/
