THE ENVIRONMENT:
--------------

RARE
---
RARE is the European Association of research networking
organisations and their users and was founded in 1986. RARE
carries out technical activities and provides a platform for
discussion and education to encourage the development of a
high-quality computer networking infrastructure for the
European research community. RARE's aim is to overcome
national boundaries in research networking to enable
researchers to communicate, to use information and to access
computer resources throughout Europe and in other continents.

To achieve its aims RARE has set up a Technical Committee
which defines and manages the RARE Technical Programme (RTP).
A number of Working Groups and Task Forces carry out the
Technical Programme. Another field of activity is the
organization of conferences and symposia. In May 1994 the 5th
Joint European Networking Conference combined with INET 94
will take place in Prague, Czech Republic. Furthermore RARE
has established liaison with major Information Technology &
Telecommunications standardization and political bodies.

Organizational Structure: All RARE members are represented in
the Council of Administration (CoA), which governs the RARE
Association. Its responsibilities include: determining RARE's
policies and priorities, adopting the budget and the annual
accounts and the setting up and monitoring of RARE working
bodies. The RARE Executive Committee (REC) is concerned with
the management of the Association. The RARE Secretariat,
headed by Secretary General, provides general support to the
work of the Association and is responsible for general
coordination and publicity.



RESEAUX IP EUROPEENS NETWORK COORDINATION CENTER (RIPE NCC)
-----------------------------------------------------------


RIPE, Reseaux IP Europeens, is a collaboration of European
network operators using the Internet protocol suite.
Experience in the RIPE community, and in the Internet
community at large, has shown that certain information and
coordination services are needed for the proper functioning of
the Internet. The current RIPE structure is very well suited
for coordinating type of work. It is less well suited for the
day to day work that is of a more administrative nature. These
tasks will be handled by dedicated technical staff that form
the RIPE Network Coordination Center (NCC).

In accordance with the Terms of Reference, the main objective
of the RIPE NCC is to give support to the networking
organisations that cooperate in RIPE.

RARE as the association of research networks in Europe houses
the RIPE NCC which is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The RIPE NCC does not provide end user support services. Also
network operation functions will not be provided by the RIPE
NCC as these functions are performed by the network operation
staff of the RIPE member organisations. The RIPE NCC will
however provide the necessary support and coordination to
enable the RIPE member NOC staff to provide these services.

The RIPE NCC activities are divided in four main areas:

 - Technical Coordination Activities
 - Technical Development Activities
 - Administrative - RIPE Activity Support
  -Administrative - Reporting

A detailed description of these activities has been published
as RIPE document ripe-w07. This document can be obtained from
the RIPE document store (ftp.ripe.net), or from the address
below. The activity plan is currently being revised.

The Network Coordination Center works in close cooperation
with RIPE:

 - RIPE, on behalf of RARE, defines the tasks and
   functions of the NCC
 - the NCC reports to RIPE on operational matters
 - the NCC reports to RARE on organisational matters
 - RIPE organisations participate in the work of the NCC
 - RIPE, on behalf of RARE, regularly reviews the operations
of        the NCC

The RIPE NCC is currently staffed by 3 full time employees:

 one NCC manager
 one NCC technical staff
 one NCC administrative staff

In addition there is one full time engineer working at the
RIPE NCC on development projects within the RTP.



DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
-------------------

Basic agreement between RARE and RIPE foresees the division
between service provision performed by RIPE NCC and
development work which is organised within the RARE Technical
Programme (RTP). To assure the synergetic effect, it has been
decided to locate RARE staff working on the IP related
development projects on the RIPE NCC premises and to utilize
the expertise of RIPE NCC staff with their part-time
participation in the projects in the roles of project managers
or RARE Project Development Officers.

This was the case of the "Route Server Project", managed by
B.Stockman and D.Karrenberg, the RIPE NCC Manager.

There is a new, larger, project PRIDE, ("Policy based Routing
Implementation and Development in Europe") in the start-up
phase. Financial resources are provided to RARE to run the
project by a number of national and international
organisations, from Europe and USA. The PRIDE project will
further implementation and deployment of policy based routing
in the European Internet. This project combines implementation
work with the production and delivery of documentation and
training materials.A detailed project description is available
upon request. The project has been proposed and will be
managed by D.Karrenberg.
