Last Chance to Volunteer for the NomCom
by Daniel Karrenberg 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

You have until Sunday to volunteer for the 2025 NomCom. So far 42 people have done so. There are at least 424 RIPE meeting attendees eligible to serve this time. While 42 is of course *the* answer ;-) we can do better! We need a high quality and diverse committee. So please, please volunteer if you have attended three of the past five RIPE meetings, remote participation counts if you checked in. The more people volunteer the lower the odds of being selected ;-). I have published an FAQ on the NomCom blog: https://ripenomcom.org/2024/11/26/nomcom-faq/ In the name of the whole RIPE community, thank you! Daniel

Draft Document: The Relationship between RIPE and the RIPE NCC (for your review)
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

Dear colleagues, Over the last few years, we worked on the recommendations by the RIPE NomCom 2020 [1]. One recommendation was still open: "to document community consensus on the relationship between RIPE and the RIPE NCC". We are excited to share a first draft document with you that describes this relationship as it has evolved from 1992 until the present time. Since Daniel Karrenberg has been involved in both the RIPE community and the RIPE NCC from the beginning, we asked Daniel to author such a document. This is now ready for review: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… Please let us know if you have any comments, questions, suggestions before 25 November 2024. We're also happy to hear feedback during the upcoming RIPE 89 meeting. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne and Niall O'Reilly RIPE Chair Team [1] RIPE Nominating Committee 2020 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-762/

ICP-2 Questionnaire Deadline Extended to 6 December 2024
by Ulka Athale 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). -------------------------- The full announcement is available at: https://www.nro.net/nro-announces-that-the-deadline-for-the-icp-2-questionn… -------------------------- NRO Announces that the Deadline for the ICP-2 Questionnaire Has Been Extended to 6 December 2024 -------------------------- The NRO has extended the deadline to submit responses to the questionnaire on the proposed principles to update ICP-2. The new deadline is Friday, 6 December 2024. The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to fill out and can be found at: https://ripe-ncc.typeform.com/icp-2 ICP-2, first created in 2001, identifies the criteria for an organisation seeking to become a new RIR. In October 2023, the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) was asked by the NRO Executive Council to update ICP-2. This proposed principles document is the first major step in the work of revising ICP-2. It sets forth the core principles that the NRO NC (ASO AC) believes should be reflected in the next version of ICP-2. In addition to principles on RIR governance, ecosystem, lifecycle, recognition and operation, the document also provides principles for the potential ‘derecognition’ of an RIR if it fails to adhere to the criteria established. The proposed principles are available here: https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/proposed-icp-2-ve… Regards, The NRO Secretariat -------------------------- Kind regards, Ulka Athale RIPE NCC www.ripe.net

Update on the Community Projects Fund 2024
by Alastair Strachan 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Dear all, After the announcement of this year’s Community Projects Fund recipients, some challenges emerged with the RIPE Atlas distributed network telescope project which would have prevented the project from achieving the goals outlined in the project plan. After careful consideration, the Selection Committee made the difficult decision to withdraw funding for the project. While we understand this is really disappointing for the recipients, we sincerely hope they will continue initiatives that bring value to our community and the Internet. The Selection Committee has now chosen another project to support from our pool of finalists: OpenPenny - An open-source tool to identify non-spoofed traffic. You can read about the project on the Community Projects Fund 2024 page: https://www.ripe.net/community/community-initiatives/cpf/previous-funding-r… Warm regards, Alastair Strachan Community Projects Fund Coordinator
