Subject: Start of the ENUM WG session at RIPE 59 on Friday
Message-ID: <4ACCA80C.5040300@schiefner.de>

Dear RIPE 59 attendees,

due to the fact that the ENUM WG has a rather short agenda this time the 
two ENUM WG Co-Chairs, Niall O'Reilly and me, came to the conclusion 
that 60 minutes should be enough to cover all agenda items.

We are therefore happy to be able to resurrect an old tradition - at 
least for this meeting - and have the Friday morning session starting at 
9:30 only. :-)

Please spread the word amongst those of your attending colleagues that 
might not yet have heard about it.

Thanks and best regards,

	Carsten Schiefner
	ENUM WG Co-Chair

Subject: RIPE Labs update
Message-ID: <4AE5C55B.2080402@ripe.net>

Dear Colleagues,

Since the launch of RIPE Labs at RIPE 59 in Lisbon earlier this month, a 
lot of new and interesting content has appeared on the RIPE Labs site. 
With articles covering a wide range of subjects, there is probably 
something interesting for everyone!

- Some of you might have seen the tool to measure lameness in DNS Shane 
Kerr presented at the RIPE Meeting. He has kindly published the tool here:
http://labs.ripe.net/node/75

- Tom Vest has written an article comparing the work of the 2009 Nobel 
Prize winners with the IP address allocation structure, ?The Challenge 
of IP Addressing and the 2009 Nobel Prize?:
http://labs.ripe.net/node/81

- APNIC has been an active participant in the "Day In the Life" data 
collection activities organised by OARC and CAIDA. George Michaelson 
presented the results at RIPE 59, and has now also published them on 
RIPE Labs:
http://labs.ripe.net/node/78

- The Resource Explainer (REX) was launched at RIPE 59 as part of RIPE 
Labs. As a follow-up, Emile Aben, of the RIPE NCC Science Group, has 
looked into how REX can help to find data on the correlation between 
specific netblocks and spam activity:

- Last but not least, Rene Wilhelm has looked at the question of when a 
particular address block can be considered to have been routed globally:
http://labs.ripe.net/node/47

There is more to come, so stay tuned! And we also encourage you to 
participate in the RIPE Labs forums - join in the community 
conversation, and let us know if we're heading in the right direction!

Kind Regards,
Mirjam K?hne
