Solidarity with Turkish and Syrian Members and Community
by Hans Petter Holen 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, I am writing to express solidarity and sympathy with our members and community in Turkey and Syria. Last week saw a natural disaster of monumental proportions in our service region. For those who live and work, and who have family and friends in the affected region, this is clearly a traumatic experience. We are conscious that it is RIPE NCC members who are at this moment providing the Internet services that allow first responders and emergency services to carry out their work, and affected people to access vital information and stay in touch with loved ones. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. For our members in affected areas, we understand that paying invoices, for instance, will be the last thing on your mind, so we ask you not to be concerned and reach out if you need an extension. We will work to support you in this time of need. At the RIPE NCC, we are fortunate to have many excellent staff from the affected countries, and we will do what we can to support them through this period. Should you wish to support the relief effort, I encourage you to find a charitable organisation you support and make a donation. Again, on behalf of all of us at the RIPE NCC, we wish you strength in these difficult times. Kind regards, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC

We added the following text to document the provenance of the document: "This document is a revision of ripe-728 based on recommendations by the RIPE Nominating Committee 2020. On request of the RIPE Chair, Daniel Karrenberg drafted and then published the document on 17 October 2022. A summary was presented during the Community Plenary at RIPE 85. On 7 December 2022, the RIPE Chair made the final call for comments with a deadline of 14 January 2023." As this does not change the substance of the document, we decided to keep the same ripe-document number. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne

RIPE NCC response to the proposed Cyber Resilience Act
by Suzanne Taylor 24 Jan '23

24 Jan '23

Hello, I’d like to thank everyone who shared their thoughts and feedback with us about the potential impact of the Cyber Resilience Act. The RIPE NCC submitted its contribution to the European Commission’s open consultation on the act yesterday. It included the RIPE community response that was shared earlier on this list (and had been updated with some additional feedback that we received since), as well as the RIPE NCC’s view on how the act could impact our own operations and a number of areas in which we believe further clarity is needed: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… <https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…> The consultation has now closed, but we’ll continue to keep the community informed about other legislative proposals we believe might be of interest and continue to encourage the RIPE community to make sure its voice is heard in these debates. The RIPE NCC is holding a Roundtable Meeting for Governments and Regulators in Brussels later this week, where we will also share our response with those in attendance and highlight the fact that the RIPE community remains a valuable source of technical expertise for public policymakers.

Opportunity to respond to EU Cyber Resilience Act proposal
by Suzanne Taylor 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Dear colleagues, We’d like to draw your attention to a proposal put forth by the European Commission to strengthen cybersecurity rules for hardware and software products, called the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/cyber-resilience-act <https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/cyber-resilience-act> Several members of the Internet community have raised concerns over the implications of the CRA for the open-source community. In particular, Maarten Aertsen of NLnet Labs gave a presentation about the CRA during RIPE 85 and Olaf Kolkman of the Internet Society wrote an article that may be of interest: https://ripe85.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/ <https://ripe85.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/> https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/10/the-eus-proposed-cyber-resilie… <https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/10/the-eus-proposed-cyber-resilie…> There’s an opportunity to respond to the European Commission’s proposal until (at least) 27 January 2023: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… <https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…> This is an open consultation, and we would encourage you to share your views if you have an opinion. The feedback received will be passed on to the European Parliament and Council (the member states) as they each develop their own positions on the proposal, before negotiations between the three bodies begin. The RIPE NCC is currently formulating its own response to the proposal, which will include the impact we foresee the CRA having on us as an organisation, but we want to ensure that the wider voice of the technical community is also heard. You can see past examples of the RIPE NCC’s submissions to open consultations here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga…> Please let us know if you have any questions.
