Dear SEE community,
In our most recent report from the RIPE Chair Team, we are looking at a
variety of events that took place across the community. We would also
like to draw your attention to the draft reports issued by two RIPE Task
Forces:

Hi all,
I wanted to drop you a line with a few pieces of information that might
be interesting.
RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund - Apply by 31 July
---------------------------------------------------
You can still apply for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects
Fund until 31 July. We don't get many applications from SEE, so please
think about it! The fund distributes up to EUR 250,000 a year to support
projects of value to the operation, resilience and sustainability of the
Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical
community in the Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia.
If you have applied before and were rejected, I'd encourage you to apply
again. The funds we have available are not enough to award all the
projects we'd like to and we've sometimes awarded projects after several
re-applications.

Vacancies at RIPE NCC
---------------------
It's a bit more difficult to persuade talent to move countries during a
pandemic, so at RIPE NCC we have quite a few vacancies open:
- Research Engineer
- Software/Data Engineer
- Information Security Engineer Cloud
- User Interface Engineer
- Software Engineer

IGF Youth Ambassador - Apply by 23 July
---------------------------------------
This one is for 16 to 30 years olds. If applicable to you - great. If
not, maybe you have children or nieces and nephews or other
acquaintances that have both technical and political inclinations?
The IGF (Internet Governance Forum) will take place on 6-10 December,
probably in Katowice but also online. It is searching for Youth Policy
Maker Ambassadors. It is a great chance to develop persuasive speaking,
get to know people around the globe and get involved in Internet
governance. Applications are accepted until 23 July:

A New Country Report
--------------------
Check out our recent Country Report covering several countries in the
Mediterranian (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France). Further down
the page you can find the report on a few other countries in South East
Europe that we published last year:
https://labs.ripe.net/country-reports
That's it from me. I hope you find this useful and I hope to see you
soon virtually or otherwise.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,

Dear all,
Although not strictly SEE region, I've seen many of you attending the
ENOG event so I thought to send the announcement here as well.
ENOG 18 will be held virtually on 7-8 June 2021.
Registration is free and open to everyone:
https://www.enog.org/register
You can watch the presentations live on the ENOG YouTube channel, but
can only chat with others or ask questions if you use Meetecho, the same
platform we use for the RIPE Meeting:
https://www.enog.org/enog-18/how-to-participate
Lastly, the ENOG Programme Committee (PC) welcomes presentation
proposals by end of this week (14 May):

Dear SEE community,
The RIPE Code of Conduct Task Force[1] has been working hard over the
past few months to develop an updated code of conduct for the RIPE
community. This will apply to all RIPE spaces such as RIPE Meetings,
mailing lists, interim WG sessions, and more. You can find the draft
document here:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/ripe-…
Leo Vegoda, Chair of the Task Force, has published an article on RIPE
Labs that describes the current status of the document, highlights the
remaining discussion points, and explains the next steps in the process.
You can read this here:
https://labs.ripe.net/author/leo_vegoda/code-of-conduct-task-force-spring-2…
I would like to encourage the SEE community to review the
RIPE Labs article and the draft RIPE Code of Conduct.
I strongly believe that it is important to have a code of conduct in
place for our events, and I am hoping you will agree to adopt this code
of conduct for your own SEE meetings.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions
or comments.
Kind regards,
Mirjam Kühne
RIPE Chair
