The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

1.3 Conflict of Interest

The Chair said he would abstain from the agenda point about the Executive Board Code of Conduct Team as he would be running for election for the Executive Board at the upcoming General Meeting.

1.4 Dates of Next Meetings

The Chair went through the upcoming Board meetings, and members noted their availability.

1.5 Conference Calendar

The Board discussed the conference calendar and who would attend various member and community meetings.

1.6 Action List Review

The RIPE NCC Managing Director, Hans Petter Holen, went through the open actions and the actions that have been closed since the last Board meeting. It was noted that a document covering the reasoning behind the RIPE NCC reserves, which was requested by the Board at a previous meeting, would be provided to the Board before the RIPE 90 Meeting.

2. Report from the Managing Director

Hans Petter presented the update from the Managing Director. He covered the following topics: Managing Director activities in Q1 2025; the appointment of the new Chief Registry Operations Officer; the workload levels, metrics on registry accuracy, and increased automation in the Registry; the sanction transparency report from Q1 2025; reorganisation within the technology area; the release of the new RIPEstat interface; service level objectives; community and engagement efforts in the first quarter, including the EU Roundtable Meeting; planned upcoming events, including SEE 13 and RIPE 90; planned upcoming meetings with representatives from the ITU, IGF and Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs; an update on legal affairs; the ICP-2 process; security, risk and compliance updates; HR and Facilities updates, including office renovations and performance management; and a status update on meetings with other RIRs.

There was a question about whether the RIRs’ executive boards would meet to discuss ICP-2 outcomes. Hans Petter said the boards collectively do not have a formal role in the process, but the RIPE NCC Executive Board should review the draft document and consider giving input.

2.1 Goalsetting 2025

Hans Petter presented the objectives and key results that he and the organisation would be pursuing in 2025.

There was a general discussion on the goals for 2025. There was a discussion on what work would be involved in being Chair of the NRO EC in 2025. The Board reviewed the targets relating to income from sponsorship.

2.2 Status RIPE NCC Middle East FZ-LLC

Hans Petter gave an update on the RIPE NCC legal entity in Dubai. He informed the Board about delays in progress due to difficulties with establishing a bank account, on which further actions depend. However, he noted that many of the other actions required to establish the entity fully were on track. He also gave the outlook for this entity in the coming years, and the Board discussed potential benefits that might be availed of having this entity available.

Chief Financial Officer Simon-Jan Haytink also gave details regarding the financial set-up of the Dubai entity. There followed a general discussion on the future interaction of the Dubai entity with the RIPE NCC.

3. Strategy

3.1 Strategy 2027-2031

Fergal Cunningham, Head of Membership Engagement, gave a brief overview of the plans for the RIPE NCC Strategy 2027-2031. He said that work was already happening in preparation for the June Board Meeting, where the Board would be asked to give input to the RIPE NCC on the five-year strategy. He noted that the members and community would be consulted on the strategy after the June Board meeting.

3.2 Strategic Risks

Athina Fragkouli, Chief Legal Officer, and Eleonora Petridou, Chief Information Security Officer, presented the strategic risks that emerged from the work Board member Remco van Mook has already done to assess the RIPE NCC’s governance and funding model, including with a BoF and presentations at RIPE Meetings and with RIPE Labs articles. Athina explained that the issues identified by Remco have been converted into risk statements, and the Board was asked to rate the importance of each of these risk statements. Eleonora gave the results of the Board’s rating of each risk and some key takeaways from the Board’s assessment.

The Board was then asked to discuss each risk statement and decide if they should be added to the RIPE NCC’s Risk Register and what priority should be attached to each risk.

Following this process, Eleonora said that all the risks identified as relevant to the RIPE NCC by the Board would be added to the risk register. Eleonora shared that the RIPE NCC Risk & Compliance team would further assess the risks, relevant mitigating controls and risk treatment plans and this would be reported back to the Board as part of the regular risk register discussions.

4. Governance Structure

4.1 Recommendations from Board Governance Training

Hans Petter summarised the outcomes from the board governance training that all Board members and Hans Petter attended.

4.2 Supervisory Board Proposal

At the board governance training the Board discussed that the name “Executive Board” could cause potential confusion about how the Board functions. Athina said the current Board has more of a supervisory role. She said the proposal is to change the governance structure to reflect what happens in reality. Athina said that a document summarising a proposal to have a supervisory board was provided in advance. The proposal was based on advice given at the board governance training that all Board members attended in January 2025. Accordingly, a two-tier system could be introduced with a Supervisory Board (Raad van Commissarissen or Raad van Toezicht) and an Executive Board (Bestuur). The present members of the Executive Board would become members of the Supervisory Board, and as such, they would supervise and advise the Executive Board. The Managing Director and possibly one or more members of the leadership team would become members of the Executive Board, which would manage the day-to-day business of the RIPE NCC. She said this is one option discussed in the governance training.

An alternative (but not recommended) would be to have a one-tier board with Executive and Non-executive directors. The Executive Board would then be renamed to Board of Directors, expressing that it would become a one-tier board consisting of executive director(s) (the Managing Director and possibly one or more members of the leadership team) and non-executive directors (the present members of the Executive Board). In this one-tier system, the non-executives would supervise the management by the executive directors. She said the main point of difference between the current structure and the alternatives is that currently, the Executive Board is responsible. Still, those really responsible are those involved in operations. She said that there is a joint liability unless there is a case of serious misconduct. She said with the two-tier structure, the supervisory board is still liable for the proper supervision of the organisation, but the change would make it so the member(s) of the new Executive Board, i.e. the people responsible for the day-to-day operations, would also be directly liable to third parties.

A Board member noted that the Board members were elected to represent members and to provide oversight. They said under the proposed structure, the Board members might be seen to have less power from members.

Another Board member advocated for the principle of least astonishment. They noted that people might assume with the “Executive” title that the Board has responsibility for day-to-day operations when it doesn’t. They said that changing the title would provide more clarity. They They said the recommendations from the trainer seemed to be right.

Hans Petter said this is not ready to propose at the GM in May. A Board member said they should still discuss the proposal with the members during the Report from the Chair of the Executive Board at the May GM.

There followed further discussion on the differences between a supervisory board and an executive board. A Board member said they appreciated this topic being brought forward as it strengthens the governance of the organisation. Additionally, remuneration for the Board members should be considered, as discussed in previous Board meetings. Hans Petter said he would work on the proposal with his team to incorporate the input received from Board members.

Action EB455 / 20/03/2025 / HPH

To develop a proposal to transition from an Executive Board to a Supervisory Board, taking into account a transition plan, employment consequences, remuneration and the relevant amendments to the Articles of Association for GM approval.

Day 2: 21 March 2025

5. Works Council - WOR Meeting

The Board had a consultation meeting (bijzondere overlegvergadering, BOV) with Hans Petter and the RIPE NCC Works Council (Ondernemingsraad, OR) as laid out in the Works Councils Act, article 24. Their discussions included the organisation’s finances, the Annual Report and the future of the office. Hans Petter also notified the Works Council that the Board tasked him to look into the governance structure.

6. Code of Conduct committee for EB elections

There was a discussion of the selection of the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May GM. Hans Petter gave an overview of how the process had worked in this case. The Board chose a random selection method to select candidates, and Hans Petter noted his concerns with how this process worked and how the Board made its choice. It was noted that some members had contacted the Board to raise similar concerns. The Board acknowledged that the process around the selection of team members was flawed.

It was noted that the Board has to select people who will oversee their elections, which is already problematic. There was a suggestion that an outside body, such as a nominating committee, would be better placed to make the selection. There was general agreement that it should not be the Board making the selection. It was also noted that in the current situation there is a need to be objective and impartial, and this was the reason to make a random selection. The process does not set criteria for volunteers and does not ask volunteers to state their experience with such matters, so the Board is placed in a difficult situation where it can be accused of being biased. Finally, it was raised that there seemed to be some confusion that the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team was the same as the RIPE Code of Conduct Team and that this should be addressed with repeated communication on the separation of the two teams.

Given the issues outlined, the Board asked for a full review of the process and asked the RIPE NCC to come back with a proposal to implement a better process that removes the need for Board involvement, and that has the trust of members.

Action EB456 / 20/03/2025 / AF

To propose an improved process for selecting volunteers for the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team

7. Finance

7.1 Financial Status February 2025

The RIPE NCC’s Chief Financial Officer, Simon-Jan Haytink, gave the financial update from February 2025. He also gave an overview of IT costs in 2024 and the Board asked Simon-Jan to present that in the upcoming General Meeting for transparency to the members. He gave the financial performance of the year to date, including payment behaviour, income, expenditure, membership trends, income at risk, and the effect of sanctions on income. Hans Petter noted that things looked good financially, and the outlook is good for the rest of the year.

There was a question on funds from countries we can not invoice due to restrictions from our Dutch banks, and income budget. Simon-Jan said we budget with the income from these countries in mind, which partly explains the 2024 income being under budget. For 2025, there is some leeway, as income was budgeted with 20,000 LIR accounts, while we ended the year with 20,991 active LIR accounts. Simon-Jan said that work continues to try to find a way to collect funds from our members in these countries safely. He added that he would report any developments to the Board when there is progress.

There was a comment that there should be a consolidated Financial Report for the Dutch and Dubai entities for 2025 reporting and onwards. Hans Petter confirmed that this is indeed the intent.

7.2 Financial Report 2024 & Audit Report 2024

Simon-Jan said that the auditors had approved the RIPE NCC financial report with an unqualified opinion for the eighth consecutive year. An unqualified opinion means a clean report with no remarks from the auditors. The Board thanked Simon-Jan for his work to produce an excellent report and approved it for publication.

Resolution EB#183-R-02:

The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the submission of the audited RIPE NCC Financial Report 2024 to the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting for its adoption.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

7.3 Charging Scheme Task Force

Ondřej gave an overview of how work is progressing with the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task Force. He said that the group is making great strides but there is a lot to discuss, so the recommendations will not be in place ahead of the upcoming General Meeting (GM). However, the task force expected to publish a draft report ahead of the GM so that it could get feedback from members that would be used as input before publishing a final set of recommendations. There will also be a presentation from the task force at the GM so that members could give their input directly to the task force.

The Board noted its appreciation for the difficult task that the volunteers of the task force have undertaken and was pleased to hear that work is progressing well.

7.4 Charging Scheme 2026

Simon-Jan made the proposal to retain the current charging scheme. He said that, as communicated to members in 2024, the current charging scheme will assure adequate funding for the RIPE NCC up to 2026, and there is no need to increase the fees.

A Board member asked if the members would want to have options to vote on at the General Meeting. Simon-Jan said that small adjustments could be made. Still, members had noted that there was significant administrative effort on their part relating to changes this year in charges for independent resources and ASNs, so making an unnecessary adjustment could have a negative impact on a significant number of members.

Simon-Jan also noted the work that was ongoing with the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task Force. He suggested that it would be problematic to have members debate a new charging scheme while at the same time discussing the draft report from the task force. He said this could unnecessarily disrupt the work of the task force.

The Board agreed with the proposal from Simon-Jan and approved the Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2026 for publication to members.

Resolution EB#183-R-03
The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the submission of the Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2026 to the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting for members to vote on.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

8. Corporate Governance

8.1 Annual Report 2024

The RIPE NCC’s Head of Membership Engagement, Fergal Cunningham, presented the Annual Report 2024. He noted that the amendments suggested by Board members had all been implemented. The Board thanked the RIPE NCC for its work on the report, which it said was a very good document. It approved the report for publication to the members.

Resolution EB#183-R-04:

The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the RIPE NCC Annual Report 2024 and the publication of the document.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

8.2 Amendments RIPE Database Acceptable Use Policy

Athina presented proposed amendments to the RIPE Database Acceptable Use Policy, which is in place to prevent people from abusing the RIPE Database or harvesting data. She said the amendments better reflect the reality of how the RIPE NCC carries out assessment.

There was a comment that the reference to an IPv4 prefix size might be confusing, so Athina adjusted the text to make this part clearer. The Board approved the amended version of the document.

Resolution EB#183-R-05

The RIPE NCC Executive Board adopts the proposed amendments to the document “RIPE Database Acceptable Use Policy” as amended.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

8.3 Amendments to sponsored travel for RIPE Fellowship and RACI Terms and Conditions

Athina explained that with the amendments, in cases where we sponsor travel or there is a disruption to travel plans, the RIPE NCC would provide support rather than financial compensation. She said text was added to clarify that the attendee should have insurance to travel. The Board suggested an amendment to the definition of “Meeting” and approved the amendments with that change implemented.

Resolution EB#183-R-06

The RIPE NCC Executive Board adopts the proposed amendments to the documents “RIPE Fellowship Terms and Conditions” and “RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative Terms and Conditions” as amended.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

8.4 Management Regulations update

There was a review of the internal management regulations document and a discussion of its link to the internal travel policy. It was suggested to add a high-level description of the travel restrictions and a description of the bank signatory rules in the management regulations.

8.5 Amendments Arbitration Procedure

Athina explained that there was an arbiters meeting in September 2024, and the panel of arbiters suggested changes to the procedure.

The proposed amendments are the following:

The requirement for arbiters to adhere to the RIPE Code of Conduct (CoC) and to submit a statement that they never committed fraud
The ability for the panel of arbiters to decide if an arbiter needs to step down due to a conflict of interest or violation of the CoC
The ability to decide, if there was a credible claim, to remove an arbiter appointed and replace that person with another arbiter due to concerns around impartiality/conflict of interest
The ability to reject arbitration requests regarding conflicts that have already been settled by a competent court, or that have already been ruled upon through the arbitration procedure
The ability for arbiters to requests notarised documents from the involved parties

The Board suggested that there should be a review of the length of time an arbiter can sit on the panel, although it acknowledged that it can be difficult to attract new volunteers. The Board recommended that there should be a five-year term for arbiters with no term limits. There could be a GM resolution that would allow the existing panel to transition from indefinite terms to five-year terms.

The Board approved the recommended changes and asked the RIPE NCC to prepare relevant changes for the members to vote on at the upcoming GM.

Resolution EB#183-R-07

The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the proposed amendments to the document “RIPE NCC Conflict Arbitration Procedure” and instructs the Managing Director to prepare the relevant resolution(s) for the adoption of the proposed amendments by the next General Meeting.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

8.6 Plan General Meeting

Fergal gave an overview of the proposed agenda for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) to be held from 14-16 May 2025. He noted that the call for nominations for the Executive Board election had already been published, and registration had launched smoothly, with over 200 members already registered for the GM.

The Board approved the draft agenda for publication with the addition of the resolutions discussed in agenda point 8.5 on amendments to the arbitration procedure.

Resolution EB#183-R-08

The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the publication of the draft agenda for the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2025 as amended.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

9. RIPE

RIPE Chair Mirjam Kühne gave an update on developments in the RIPE community.

She talked about the plans for the upcoming RIPE 90 Meeting in Lisbon. The calls for presentations have been issued. The Address Policy Working Group and the IoT Working Group are both seeking new co-chairs. New members have been appointed to the RIPE Code of Conduct Team, and all members are following training. Mirjam noted that the CoC Team is always looking for new volunteers. And there will be discussions of the ICP-2 process and documents at the meeting, including at a BoF that has been accepted for inclusion by the Programme Committee.

Regarding future RIPE Meetings, Mirjam said that contracts have been signed for RIPE 91 in Bucharest, RIPE 92 in Edinburgh and RIPE 93 in Sofia. She said work has started to look for venues from RIPE 94 up to and including RIPE 100. She said the approach of finding a venue before finding a meeting host has been very productive.

On policy, Mirjam said a new discussion phase had started on Policy Proposal 2024-02 in the Address Policy Working Group. There was a preliminary discussion of a policy proposal on Automatic Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs in the Routing Working Group.

Mirjam said that consensus had been reached on the RIPE Document clarifying the relationship between RIPE and the RIPE NCC. She noted that this was the last of the governance documents for now that addressed recommendations from the Accountability Task Force.

Mirjam said work was ongoing with RIPE NCC staff to clean up the RIPE Policy pages and RIPE Document Store on the RIPE NCC website. She said they were reviewing the overall policy portfolio to see how it could be better structured and to identify whether there were any gaps or inconsistencies.

Finally, she said there was an initiative to document how consensus is built in the RIPE community, and a first draft of that document should be ready before the RIPE 90 Meeting.

There followed a general discussion from the Board on ticketing and sponsorship relating to the RIPE Meetings.

9.1 Community Projects Fund

The RIPE NCC’s Chief Community Officer, Hisham Ibrahim, gave a presentation about the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund (CPF) and gave an update on work to revamp the initiative. He provided some history of the project and the reasoning behind the CPF. He said the strategic review was necessary to maximise the impact and value of the project. He outlined the key challenges faced with this project, relating mainly to finances, measuring success, and geographic participation in the initiative.

Hisham gave three options for the future of the CPF. These were to focus on targeted research grants instead, to support Internet development in underserved areas, or to stop the CPF entirely and redirect efforts to other initiatives that have proven successful and other high-priority areas. Hisham also noted that it was announced that the programme would be paused in 2025 pending review, so there was no budget allocated for the CPF this year.

A Board member said the CPF has been successful, but it was established when funding was less of an issue and it would be better to stop it now and focus efforts where they can have more impact.

A Board member said that the selection committee for the CPF also had some challenges - it was very difficult to judge the value of the proposals, the range of submissions was very big, and measuring the success of the funded proposals was almost impossible.

There was general consensus among the Board members that the suggested approach of ending the CPF and redirecting efforts to more high-value areas was the right one to take.

Resolution EB#183-R-09
The RIPE NCC Executive Board, taking into account Resolution EB#176-R-04 to suspend the activity “RIPE NCC Community Project Fund” for 2025, resolves to cease the activity “RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund” permanently.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.

10 Resilience of Joint Internet Number Registry

10.1 Updates to “Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries” (ICP-2)

Athina gave a presentation on progress with updates to the ICP-2 document, “Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries”. There were public comment periods on proposed principles in the RIR and ICANN communities. She went through the ICP-2 questionnaire summary report. She talked about plans for engagement on the process with the RIPE community, including plans for the upcoming RIPE 90 Meeting.

Hans Petter said the Board should consider when it wants to comment on this document, whether individually or as a group.

A Board member mentioned that there were questions on whether the RIPE NCC would accept the conditions in the updated ICP-2 document, and the answer was an unequivocal yes. It was noted that this might eventually need a Board resolution once the process was completed.

10.2 AFRINIC

Hans Petter gave an update on developments with AFRINIC, noting that there was a published update from ICANN on the appointment of a private receiver in AFRINIC. There was a general discussion on this, including the prospects of having board elections in AFRINIC in the near future.

10.3 RIR Joint Meeting of the RIR Boards

There was a meeting on 25 February 2025 of RIR board members who were present at the APRICOT meeting. It was noted that this was a good opportunity to identify common challenges faced by the RIRs and to have good discussions about these topics.

11. AOB

1. Meetings and Traveling

A Board member asked that not only the dates of future Board meetings but also the time of the meeting be sent further in advance to make planning easier and to reduce costs. Hans Petter made proposals that the Board agreed with.

2. When a new Board comes into effect

There was a question about when the new Executive Board would come into effect after the upcoming General Meeting, and Athina explained the legalities involved.

Ondřej closed the meeting at 15:08 UTC+1.
