Dear colleagues,
Yesterday, we hosted an online session with members of the community
about the state of the Internet in Southeast Europe. We presented
highlights from the RIPE NCC’s Southeast Europe Country Report and used
the data from the report to spark discussion around relevant Internet
governance issues in the region. Some of the topics included:
- The role of NOGs in fostering a healthy Internet
- Why IPv6 deployment has stagnated in many countries in Southeast Europe
- The role of local IXPs in keeping traffic local
The session was not recorded, however, you can find the slides online:

And the country report is available on RIPE Labs:

We’ll also be hosting two online events for members in Southeast Europe
in the coming weeks, including one for our members in Bosnia and
Herzegovina on 6 May, and another for our members in Serbia on 20 May.
You can find more information and register at:

We plan to host more online events in the future and would love to hear
which topics are of interest to you. Please share your thoughts with us,
and we hope to see you - either online or in person - soon!
Best regards,
Gergana

Dear SEE region community,
I am running for the RIPE NCC Executive Board. Elections will be held May 13-15, each LIR can participate. I ask you to support my candidacy on the RIPE NCC website. See below for more information on how to vote.
Who am I
I was born in Russia, and I have been living in the Czech Republic since 2007. My interest in computers and networks first began when I was a child. I started my career in ICT during my university time: I have worked in banks, ISPs, and other IT-related companies. I have built and maintained access, corporate and service networks. At the moment, I work for an ISP and LIR in the Czech Republic, providing service to customers from around the globe.
I have participated in the RIPE community since 2008. In 2010, I was a co-founder of the ENOG meetings, and in 2018, CSNOG for operators from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Together with my colleagues, we've organised local community meetings for hundreds of people, attracting many speakers, and making the Internet better. I also take part in the different forms of Internet operators’ cooperation all over the world (every SEE meeting, many NOGs, IETF, RIR meetings, etc.).
You may find more details about my motivation at www.net-art.cz/kaa
