News and Announcements

The RIPE NCC Executive Board held its 109th meeting on 15 December 2016.

Following the RIPE NCC’s move to our new office in December, we amended a number of RIPE Documents in order to reflect our new legal address. We urge everyone to update their records to reflect our change of address. Any post sent to our previous address will be forwarded to our new office address.

Today we welcome the 15,000th Local Internet Registry (LIR) to join the RIPE NCC. This comes after several years of intense growth across our service region — it was less than three years ago that we reached 10,000 LIRs. Coincidentally, this latest milestone comes as we are completing the move to our new office location in Amsterdam.

The RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2017 is now available.

The RIPE NCC and Europol signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Europol’s headquarters in The Hague on 14 December 2016, with the aim of fostering continued cooperation between the two and lending one another expertise in the areas of cybercrime and Internet security.

From today, the RIPE NCC performs registry functions for IPv6 Endpoint ID (EID) prefixes for Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP). LISP is an experimental "map-and-encapsulate" protocol developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) LISP Working Group. The IANA has assigned an IPv6 prefix for LISP EID space in accordance with RFC7954, which the RIPE NCC is now managing in accordance with RFC7955.
