What an interesting approach, Vesna - linking Maslow and OSI. And matching their respective levels. 8-) Sometimes things are so crystal clear that they are hardly visible. Thanks for sharing! On 22.03.2021 08:20, Vesna Manojlovic wrote:
Dear colleagues and friends,
I’ve been missing you for a whole year; it’s been a demanding and painful period for many of us.
In addition to being networkers with an important job of maintaining resiliency of the Internet infrastructure, RIPE Community is a collection of human beings; I was wondering how are we taking care of our own "capacity to recover quickly from difficulties".
That's why I wanted to reach out and say: you are not alone! ... but, it turned out that I had so much more to share!
While I was struggling to organise the many topics of what pandemic resilience might mean to the RIPE community, it occurred to me to map the classification of universal needs - illustrated by the popular Maslow’s pyramid - to the OSI Layers model, familiar to all networkers:
Layer 1: Physical / Physiological needs Layer 2: Data Link / Safety needs Layer 3: Network / Belonging needs Layer 4: Transport / Esteem needs (ACK = acknowledgement) Layer 5: Session / Need for Understanding (cognitive) Layer 6: Presentation / Need for Beauty (aesthetic) Layer 7: Application / Need for (self) actualisation Layer 8: Financial / Need for Contribution (community-actualisation) Layer 9: Political / Need for Justice (cultural perpetuity)
Please find the first two articles on RIPE Labs:

Stay tuned for the next layers!
And please do share your BCP on how you are coping!
