Please note, that all the submissions we already received and did not explicitly accept or reject are still under consideration for the plenary at RIPE 79. Authors of accepted or rejected presentations have been contacted by the PC via the contact address they provided. You can find the CFP for RIPE 79 below or at https://ripe79.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Franziska Lichtblau RIPE PC Chair https://ripe79.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 79 will take place from 14-18 October in Rotterdam, The Netherlands* 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 79. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats: https://ripe79.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-forma ts/ Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *16 August 2019*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) _____________________________________________________ Speakers _____________________________________________________ Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. Please note that participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship or RACI, on an individual basis, to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc at ripe.net. _____________________________________________________ Submissions _____________________________________________________ Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe79.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ 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 should 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 (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe79.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe79.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. _____________________________________________________ Diversity and Inclusion - On-Site Childcare and the RIPE _____________________________________________________ Meeting Code of Conduct _____________________________________________________ Did you know that RIPE Meetings now have on-site childcare?

Call for volunteers & Draft charter - RIPE Database Requirements Task Force
by Hans Petter Holen 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

I would like to call for volunteers for a task force of 2-5 persons to review the RIPE Database requirements. Please drop me an email if you have suggestions or would like to volunteer. The outcome of the task force will of course be discussed by the community to establish consensus as described below.. The RIPE Database has been discussed at the last couple of meetings and while we have a database working group dealing with technical details it has become clear that a wider discussion in the RIPE community is needed. The database is fundamental to the work of RIPE. There are questions about what kinds of data it should contain, what degree of accuracy is required, and what purposes it should be geared towards. These broad questions are not easily be answered with a policy proposal. Participants in the BoF at the last RIPE meeting supported the creation of a task force that would develop a set of requirements, considering what the RIPE Database needs to do and what information is required. Daniel has been kind to draft a charter for the task force, which I belive is a good start for the work: # RIPE Database Requirements Task Force Daniel Karrenberg *Version 1.1* ### Rationale The RIPE Database is now almost 30 years old [[ripe-13]] (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-013 "RIPE Databases"). During all this time, the community has developed the functionality of the Database incrementally. Today some new frictions have emerged such as changing privacy requirements and the use of the RIPE DB by parties outside the traditional community, specifically law enforcement. Because of these frictions and changing needs, the community consensus about the functionality of the RIPE DB has become less obvious. Therefore it is now time to take stock and to establish a clear consensus about what functionality the RIPE DB should provide in the future. ### Charter The RIPE Database Requirements task force shall develop a RIPE document listing all the [requirements] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requirements_engineering "Wikipedia") for the RIPE DB and their rationales. The task force is a small and focused drafting team of two to five persons and not a representative body. The task force will consult the RIPE community and other interested parties. Consensus building will take place in the appropriate RIPE working groups and possibly specific BoFs. The task force will regularly publish draft versions of the document. ### Document Scope The purpose of the document is to establish community consensus at the general level. The document will be the new requirements specification for the RIPE DB. It shall provide clear guidance for the evolution of RIPE DB functionality, including the removal of current functionality that is no longer required. The document will prioritise requirements as much as possible. The document shall list the purpose of each RIPE DB function and consider the relevant privacy aspects, making the document useful in the context of privacy regulations such as the GDPR. The document shall allow easy updates as community needs change. Software development, deployment and other implementation details are out of scope. Despite being scoped as a requirements document, the document shall not prescribe a specific engineering methodology for subsequent steps in the process. ### Methodology The RIPE Chair shall appoint the task force after a call for volunteers. Volunteers are expected to contribute significant amounts of text and to collect community feedback. The task force will regularly publish revised drafts based on this feedback. The task force may conduct BoF sessions to discuss drafts with the community. ### Time Line The task force will start its work at [RIPE 79] (https://ripe79.ripe.net/ "RIPE 79, 14-18 October 2019") and produce the *first* draft by December 2019. The task force will deliver a document for last-call at RIPE 81 in October 2020. If the community does not achieve consensus by RIPE 81, the task force will give a report listing the open issues and propose a plan to resolve them.

Endorsement of Afrinic board candidates
by Sander Steffann 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi RIPE ASO/AC delegates, I just read the following on the Afrinic community mailing list, and got a bit concerned: > My name is Wafa Dahmani from Tunisia, an active member of the African community and more specifically AFRINIC: member of the appeal committee; ASO / AC excom member and Ex Chair of Governance Committee '(GC) at AFRINIC. > I contact you to solicit your votes for the following candidates: > [etc] While she doesn't explicitly state that she is soliciting votes on behalf of the ASO/AC, it does seem to imply it. I found it hard to believe that the ASO/AC would agree with this statement as sent by Wafa. I know questions about this have already been sent to the ASO/AC, but I would like some feedback from our own delegates. I wonder whether you were aware of this and what your positions on this are. I suspect that this was not something agreed to by the ASO/AC, or at least not by our own delegates, but I would like that confirmed please :) I though long whether to cross-post this to the ripe-list and in the end decided that I should, for transparency's and accountability's sake. Cheers, Sander
