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: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/press-centre/publications/presentations/2020/s... And the country report is available on RIPE Labs: https://www.ripe.net/s/seereport 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: https://www.ripe.net/s/virtual-member-lunches 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 -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC
