[cooperation-wg] Follow up from the Coop WG call on NIS 2 Directive

Dear Working Group,

As discussed during the remote session last week, the RIPE NCC has also developed a response to the open consultation on the draft NIS 2 Directive. Our submission can be found here:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12475-Revision-of-the-NIS-Directive/F2004629

The consultation closes today, but it’s a very positive sign to see that many other organisations (and individuals!) from RIPE and the global Internet technical community (including a number of the root server operators) have responded, reinforcing the arguments made in the submissions by the RIPE NCC and the RIPE Cooperation Working Group Co-Chairs.

All public responses can be found on the European Commission website:

Best regards,
Chris

It was clear during that session that there were concerns from members of the RIPE community, and that the timeline for making any formal response was very limited (with a deadline of 18 March).

However, the Working Group Co-Chairs felt that, while there is not agreed “RIPE community position”, it is important that the concerns raised should be conveyed to EU policymakers.

The submission asks that EU policymakers work closely with members of the RIPE community to refine the NIS2 draft and address the concerns raised.
