RIPE Database Quarterly Planning

We launched this initiative in Q4 2021, and we are open to improving what we publish here and how we do that. So let us know if there are ways we can better present our plans.

We will update this page as our activities progress and continue to share updates on RIPE Labs, on the RIPE Database Working Group (WG) mailing list and at RIPE Meetings and other events.

Q3 2026 Plans

Last Updated: 11 June 2026

Item 1: Comply with ISO27001

Implementing the recommendation of the Information Security team for ISO 27001 to provide a structured, auditable framework to meet these evolving obligations and enhance overall information security resilience.

Status: In progress

Item 2: Switch DB web application to OIDC 2.0

We plan to switch interactive user authentication in the DB web application from using a site-wide secure cookie to instead using an OIDC 2.0 session, so authenticated requests are more secure.

Status: In progress

Community Input on Planning

We want the community to contribute to our plans and suggest additional work items. The Database Working Group (WG) employs a process called Numbered Work Items (NWIs) that allows anyone to suggest work the RIPE NCC should carry out to improve the RIPE Database. A lot of work takes place each quarter to investigate the feasibility of NWIs and plan for their implementation.

Archived Quarterly Plans

You can find our plans from the previous quarters on this page. The Q3 2026 plans will be archived once we publish the Q4 2026 planning.
