From marcoh at ripe.net Tue Nov 8 11:31:33 2016 From: marcoh at ripe.net (Marco Hogewoning) Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 11:31:33 +0100 Subject: [cooperation-wg] BoF follow-up: Creation of IoT-Discuss mailing list Message-ID: Dear colleagues, During the Internet of Things BoF in Madrid, several participants commented on the need to strengthen the information exchange on this topic. Noting the wide variety of the topics and concerns that would fall under such a broad term as the Internet of Things, while it the same time too specific for any existing mailing list, it was concluded that the creation of a dedicated mailing list would be a feasible way forward in centralising the information available, while leaving open the option to take specific topics to specialist working groups or other venues. As we announced during the meeting, we have now set up this dedicated mailing list called ?IoT Discussion?. The aim of this list is to facilitate the exchange of information concerning the Internet of Things, particularly as it may have impact on the RIPE NCC, RIPE or our stakeholders' operations. The list is also a platform to inform each other about proceedings in other relevant standards bodies or governance structures, and may be used to discuss and formulate common positions among participants on IoT-related topics. If you take interest in this topic or participate in other discussions surrounding the IoT, we would encourage you to subscribe to this mailing list. To subscribe to this list, please visit https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/iot-discussion. The same webpage also gives access to the public archives of this mailing list. Regards, Marco Hogewoning On behalf of the RIPE NCC?s External Relations department. From ripencc-management at ripe.net Tue Nov 8 14:05:30 2016 From: ripencc-management at ripe.net (Paul Rendek) Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 14:05:30 +0100 Subject: [cooperation-wg] Euro-IX Memorandum of Understanding and RIPE NCC Engagement Message-ID: <323A3EEC-599E-4EFB-95C4-5EAE163E4E66@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC and the European Internet Exchange Association (Euro-IX) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Euro-IX Forum in Krakow, Poland on 7 November. The MoU documents the existing relationship between the RIPE NCC and Euro-IX, and focuses specifically on the promotion of IPv6 and IXPs, the importance of security, and a common approach to Internet governance: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe-ncc-and-euro-ix-sign-memorandum-of-understanding This MoU is the latest formalised agreement for greater cooperation between the RIPE NCC and one of the many external organisations we work with, and we wanted to give you some background on why we believe these types of agreements are valuable to the RIPE NCC membership and the greater RIPE community. We also want to be completely transparent about the agreements we?re entering into, which is why we?ve created a new page on the RIPE NCC website where you can get all of the details for yourselves: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/what-we-do/engagement-external-organisations Beyond the RIPE NCC membership, there is a diverse range of organisations we work with in various ways, including governments, regulators, technical bodies, industry groups, law enforcement agencies, academic institutions and others. By engaging with these organisations, we can offer decision makers technical expertise that will ultimately benefit the Internet community, gain support for open, bottom-up policy-making, and strengthen the legitimacy, authority and accountability of the RIPE NCC, the RIPE community and the global registry system. In fact, this kind of engagement is included as one of the four main focus areas in the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan & Budget 2017, and was the subject of a presentation by RIPE NCC Executive Board member Maria H?ll at RIPE 73. You can find both of these online for more details if you?re interested: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2016/draft-ripe-ncc-activity-plan-and-budget-2017-1.pdf https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1480/ You can also learn more about our engagement with external organisations and the mutual benefits of these agreements in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/building-and-documenting-stronger-relationships-with-external-organisations We encourage you to include any comments you might have in the comment section under the article, or on this mailing list.

However, network operators and especially Internet service providers appear to be becoming more content aware. Networking is becoming more intertwined with content. This might have implications for tomorrow?s Internet.

An Accountability Task Force has been established to carry out this work and will have its first meeting in the coming weeks, after which a charter and additional information will be published. A mailing list will also be created for the Task Force?s discussions and the archives will be publicly available. You can find the accountability presentation at RIPE 73 here: https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1248/ If you have feedback or would like to join the Task Force, please send an email to . Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Head of Legal RIPE NCC From marcoh at ripe.net Fri Nov 25 12:04:10 2016 From: marcoh at ripe.net (Marco Hogewoning) Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2016 12:04:10 +0100 Subject: [cooperation-wg] Belgian limits on CGN/NAT? Message-ID: [apologies for duplicates, suggest to follow-up on this on the RIPE IPv6-WG for which you can subscribe at https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-wg/) Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately so far I have only found Dutch (and French) sources, we would be happy to receive pointers to English texts on this. The Belgian Institute for Post and Telecom (BIPT) recently ran a consultation to evaluate the National IPv6 Workplan, which was released back in 2012. The deadline to comment had already passed, but I trust our Belgian community members to have found this via other sources in time to respond. http://www.bipt.be/public/files/nl/22027/Raadpleging_ipv6.pdf In this, there is one question in particular that caught our eye, number 6, which roughly translates to a question asking if the requirements in a Code of Conduct on the usage of CGN which was agreed in 2012 are still current and workable and whether or not this CoC should be reviewed. Further in the introduction of the consultation, chapter 1 (page 3), there is some more information on this agreement: > Om de eindgebruiker toch eenduidig te kunnen identificeren was er beslist om bijvoorbeeld het delen van een IP-adres te beperken tot maximaal 16 gebruikers en dit via een gedragscode die door de sector werd ondertekend. Translation by me: > To identify users, it was agreed that sharing a single IP address would be limited to a maximum of 16 users and that this limit would be part of a code of conduct which would be signed by the industry? So far we have not yet been able to retrieve a copy of this Code of Conduct or a list of participating operators and would be happy to receive more information. But as the text suggests that there is an agreement between Belgian network operators and the government that would limit the use of CGN to 16 users per address. We wonder then, if this is the ?magic ingredient? of why the IPv6 roll out in Belgium is so successful. As a question to this Working Group, would a 16:1 ratio be realistic and workable from an operational perspective? And further of course, do you think this form of cooperation between the public and private sector as a way to expedite the deployment of IPv6?
