From nick at ripe.net Tue Aug 12 16:15:07 2014 From: nick at ripe.net (Nick Hyrka) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:15:07 +0200 Subject: Launch of updated ASO website Message-ID: <53EA216B.4040105@ripe.net> Dear Colleagues, For the past few weeks, the NRO Secretariat has been working to update the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) website and is now ready to go live with the updated site. The updated website incorporates feedback provided during the last ICANN ASO organisational review, as well as from the NRO Number Council members and RIR staff. We plan to make the switchover to the updated site on Thursday, 14 August between 13:00-15:00 UTC, during which time the ASO website will be unavailable. After that time, the updated site will be available at the same URL: http://www.aso.icann.org/ In case of any questions with the new website, you can contact us at: secretariat at aso.icann.org We hope you enjoy the new site. Best regards, Nick Hyrka RIPE NCC (On behalf of the NRO Secretariat) From ripencc-management at ripe.net Thu Aug 21 10:27:58 2014 From: ripencc-management at ripe.net (Axel Pawlik) Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 10:27:58 +0200 Subject: RIPE NCC Re-Affirms Commitment to Operate K Root Name Server Message-ID: Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has been providing DNS root name service via k.root-servers.net since 1997. As the global Internet community considers changes to the NTIA oversight of key DNS functions, the RIPE NCC wishes to assure the Internet community that our commitment to providing this service and to coordinating appropriately with ICANN and the other root server operators will not be affected by the outcome of these discussions. The RIPE NCC is a not-for-profit membership association under Dutch law. It is governed by its General Meeting and Executive Board, and is guided by the RIPE community. Root name servers are a crucial part of the Internet DNS infrastructure and the RIPE NCC?s role in this area is supported by the membership for the benefit of the global Internet community. In an open letter to ICANN in 2009, the RIPE NCC affirmed our mutual commitment to coordination of DNS root name service operations, acknowledging that a single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the Internet and to ensuring global reachability: https://ripe.net/s/kr2h We remain committed to the principles expressed in this letter, and will continue working to operationalise them, independent of changes to the IANA stewardship. More information about RIPE NCC's operation of K-root is available at: http://k.root-servers.org/ Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC From raci at ripe.net Thu Aug 21 14:50:21 2014 From: raci at ripe.net (The RACI Coordination Team) Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:50:21 +0200 Subject: RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) - Applications Open Message-ID: <53F5EB0D.2070906@ripe.net> Dear colleagues, This is a reminder that we are still accepting applications from academics to attend the RIPE 69 Meeting in London from 3-7 November as part of the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI): http://www.ripe.net/ripe/raci The package for successful applicants includes the cost of RIPE Meeting tickets, accommodation, travel to and from London, lunch every day of the meeting and tickets to social events.

RIPE Academic Cooperation Mailing List -------------------------------------- An academic cooperation mailing list is now available for those with an interest in the academic side of networking, as well as RACI itself. The goal of the list is to maintain and strengthen ties between the RIPE and academic communities by providing a platform for members of each community to connect and discuss matters of common interest. The mailing list is public and you are invited to join today: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/raci-list/ Kind regards, The RACI Coordination Team (Chris Buckridge, Fergal Cunningham, Fatemah Mafi) From koalafil at gmail.com Wed Aug 27 11:16:41 2014 From: koalafil at gmail.com (Filiz Yilmaz) Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:16:41 +0200 Subject: Fwd: Call for Presentations RIPE 69 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, Please note the approaching RIPE 69 deadline, 31 August 2014. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Filiz Yilmaz Date: Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 5:48 PM Subject: Call for Presentations RIPE 69 To: "ripe-list at ripe.net" , "nanog at nanog.org" < nanog at nanog.org> Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 69 in London below. The deadline for submissions is 31 August 2014. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc --------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 69 will take place from 3- November 2014 in London, UK. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 69. 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://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/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 31 August 2014, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/guidelines/. 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://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice ? in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session. - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe69.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ - 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. - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. --------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While our discussions are in Japanese, we believe there are issues in common with operators outside Japan. An english version of the Summary Report and a report on anti-spam measures session is be made available this time, below. JANOG 34 Summary Report and "Let's talk about IP anycast" : http://goo.gl/IbKzkQ Pick up Session: "Measures against Spam after OP25B" : http://goo.gl/uY4lxk The topics discussed are not limited to these two topics of course. Please see the translated overview of the program and the presentation slides (in Japanese but some have visual images and data). Program Overview (English): http://goo.gl/KhrpRZ Program and Slides (Japanese): http://goo.gl/Q61oeh Here are some examples of the topics covered: * Use of technologies - Visualising network events - Advantages and disadvantages of "white box networking" * Operational issues - Blind spots of IPv6 PMTU Blackhole Discovery - NTP attacks: "NTP Talk WG": http://goo.gl/5RL50v - OpenSSL heartbleed bug - Stopping full table routing changed my life @ AS55394 * Social aspects - Seeking change in the cost structure of content delivery - Balance of outreach on security issues - What is good higher education for future engineers - Cultural differences in software and network engineers At the meeting, we ran the JANOG 34 network with IPv6 ULA-only and ULA + GUA SSIDs, which was presented at the IPv6 Operations session @ IETF90 in Toronto. ULA Experience at JANOG 34 http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/slides/slides-90-v6ops-1.pdf Positive findings - GUA + IPv4 (Private) and ULA is harmless (at least for MAC OS) - SLAAC/ULA and DHCPv6/ULA works well - ULA operation/configuration is not hard Challenges - Android devices did not come up without IPv4 - IPv4 only applications still exist (Skype/dropbox) - NAT66 on ULA only network should not be recommended , but it worked If you have any feedback, we welcome comments or questions on JANOG mailing list "janog at janog.gr.jp": https://www.janog.gr.jp/mailman/listinfo/janog/ * Subscription page first appears in Japanese but it's possible to switch to English from pull-down menu options on the top right The coming meeting, JANOG 35 will be from 14-16 Jan 2015 in Shizuoka Prefecture.
