[ncc-services-wg] Questions about the fax the RIPE NCC received from United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI).

Dear all, 

 

For those that haven't seen the post by the RIPE NCC on the website (
https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/ripe-ncc-receives-communicat
ion-from-united-against-nuclear-iran-uani ) 

 

If it wasn't written so seriously and someone would have told me this over a
beer, I would actually have laughed and thought it was a joke. 

 

However as I read this not so funny letter from a former political diplomat,
I probably missed the point when the RIPE GM meeting has become the location
for political lobbyist to do their work and try to influence connectivity on
the internet. 

 

I mean .. If the plan is to revoke all Iranian IP addresses, how would
$Goverment get the next Stux malware updated to attack said plants.  

 

So, all jokes aside, what is the reply that is provided to the writer and if
he would show up at the RIPE meeting, will he be provided any room to
discuss the topic and will the request for a resolution be discussed during
the GM meeting?

 

Kind regards,
Erik Bais
