From ripencc-management at ripe.net Tue Aug 13 11:28:08 2013 From: ripencc-management at ripe.net (Axel Pawlik) Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:28:08 +0200 Subject: Update on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 Message-ID: <5209FC28.3030406@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, I'd like to give you an update on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013. Firstly, I would like to thank all those who responded to the survey. Over 3,000 people from 114 countries participated, including from 75 of the 76 countries in our service region. This is by far the biggest and most diverse response we've had to any of our surveys. Most importantly, it gives us a huge amount of feedback on our services and activities which we can use to improve our offerings and develop our strategy for the years ahead. Work on the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 began with focus groups and interviews that were carried out by independent consultants Desiree Miloshevic and John Earls. The questions in the survey come mainly from the concerns and areas of interest raised in these meetings by members of the RIPE NCC and other interested parties such as government and law enforcement representatives. The survey itself was conducted on our behalf by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII). The OII has sent the raw survey data with all identifying information removed to the RIPE NCC. All the raw statistical data and open comments will be included in the main survey report, which will be shared by the OII in the coming weeks. A report on the focus groups and interviews written by the independent consultants will also be included with the survey report. We are currently using the survey data to develop the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2014. This document outlines all the activities the RIPE NCC proposes to undertake in 2014, along with their associated costs. It will be published and announced to the membership in September. Members will be asked to discuss and give feedback on the Draft Activity Plan and Budget via the members-discuss mailing list. The document will be further discussed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting, which takes place on 16 October 2013. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will incorporate the feedback received into the final Activity Plan and Budget, which will be finalised in December. If you have any questions about the survey, or the Draft Activity Plan and Budget, please respond to this email. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC From ripencc-management at ripe.net Tue Aug 13 15:42:35 2013 From: ripencc-management at ripe.net (Axel Pawlik) Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:42:35 +0200 Subject: NRO NC Call for Nominations: RIPE NCC Service Region Message-ID: <520A37CB.2010103@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, This is a call for nominations from the RIPE NCC service region to fill one vacant seat on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Number Council (NC).

Since that time, I've had a chance to review the technical services we provide to the community, and I?d like to share with you some of my ideas about the planned future direction of these services. To summarise, these plans include: - Focusing on RIPE Atlas as the RIPE NCC?s data collection system - Developing RIPEstat as the RIPE NCC's consolidated point for data retrieval - Service agreements and other plans for hosted services like K-root, authoritative DNS servers and RIS data collectors - A greater focus on data analysis We believe the plans we have in place will allow you to access our services more easily and efficiently, and make better use of the data we collect. You can read the full details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services I hope you'll take the time to read the full article and learn more about the planned future direction of our services. As always, we invite your comments and suggestions, which you can leave in the comments field of the article, or by contacting me directly at kranjbar at ripe.net. Our top priority is ensuring we provide you with the most useful services and data possible, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: > > ? IPv6 deployment > ? Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations > ? Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses > ? Data centre technologies > ? Network and DNS operations > ? Internet governance and regulatory practices > ? Network and routing security > ? Content delivery > ? Internet peering and mobile data exchange > > Submissions > > RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. > > The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at > https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/i-want-to-present/presentation-formats/ > > Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. > > In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for ?lightning talks?, which are selected immediately before or during the conference. > > The following general requirements apply: > > ? Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 4 August 2013, using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/). Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis. > > ? Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe67.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week.

Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators. > > ?
