RIPE NCC GENERAL MEETING MAY 2018
Nine resolutions were approved by the members at the General Meeting
(GM) and two new Executive Board members were elected. All the details
are available on the GM webpages:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/

RIPE 76
The RIPE 76 Meeting in Marseille was by far the best attended RIPE
Meeting ever. All the session archives are available so you can check
out the videos:
https://ripe76.ripe.net/

And you can already visit the website for RIPE 77 in Amsterdam:
https://ripe77.ripe.net/

RIPE NCC::EDUCA IPv6
The next RIPE NCC::Educa online educational event will take place on 6
June and will focus on IPv6. See the details and register at:
https://www.ripe.net/support/training/ripe-ncc-educa

All the videos from the last RIPE NCC::Educa focusing on routing
security are now available:
https://www.ripe.net/support/training/ripe-ncc-educa/past-ripe-ncc-educa-events/agenda-routing-security

PHISHING SCAM EMAILS TARGETING PAYPAL USERS
Please be aware of phishing scam emails targeting PayPal users that
appear to be originating from the RIPE NCC (paypal at ripe.net). Be advised
that these emails were *not* sent by the RIPE NCC. If you have received
such emails, we advise you to delete them.

RPKI VALIDATOR 3.0
At RIPE 76, we announced the beta release of the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator
3.0. This is a new version of our open-source toolset for Resource
Certification (RPKI) validation.

More information can be found at:
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/rpki-validator-3/wiki

PHASING OUT THE IP ANALYSER
We'll be removing the IP Analyser from the LIR Portal in the coming
weeks because the My Resources area of the portal now provides that
functionality and more.

RIPE ATLAS ANCHOR VIRTUAL MACHINES
The RIPE NCC's pilot program to explore the pros and cons for including
Virtual Machines (VMs) in the pool of RIPE Atlas anchors is still
ongoing, with five anchor VMs currently up and running. Check out the
latest developments and some early results on RIPE Labs:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kistel/update-on-the-ripe-atlas-anchor-vm-pilot

THE END OF THE LAST /8
On 17 April 2018, we allocated the last available block of 1,024
addresses in 185/8 - the last /8 we received from IANA back in 2011.
Rene Wilhelm looks at how this address space was allocated and how it is
being used today:

A FUTURE PATH FOR THE INTERNET NUMBER COMMUNITY WITHIN ICANN
The five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are asking their
communities for guidance on how they should participate within ICANN in
the future:

WILFRIED WOEBER AWARDED ROB BLOKZIJL AWARD
The Rob Blokzijl Foundation presented the first Rob Blokzijl award to
Wilfried Woeber "for more than thirty years of contributions to the
development of the Internet: building and interconnecting networks,
sharing knowledge, connecting people, building consensus and helping
others to contribute and succeed."

GDPR AND THE RIPE DATABASE

Styfala looks at amendments to the RIPE Database:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/maria_stafyla/how-were-implementing-the-gdpr-amendments-to-the-ripe-database

UPSTREAM VISIBILITY
In a joint venture with Roma Tre University, we developed a new RIPEstat
widget that allows you to see the upstreams/peers through which a prefix
is seen by RIS. You can get a sneak preview of the beta version:
https://stat.ripe.net/widget/upstream-visibility#w.resource=2001:67c:2e8::/48

BROADBAND DATA PROVIDED BY SPEEDCHECKER
With the import of new data from Speedchecker's measurement platform,
RIPEstat now provides an extensive collection of broadband measurement
data ranging from January 2011 to April 2018. The next goal is to
provide a close-to-realtime insertion of new measurement data:
https://stat.ripe.net/docs/data_api#SpeedcheckerBandwidthMeasurements

PILOT TRAINING COURSE FOR CAPACITY BUILDING IN REMOTE AREAS
To reach out to people who aren't able to attend training courses in
person, and in an effort to diversify and increase our portfolio and
delivery mechanisms, we decided to try something new - a full-day online
training course streamed directly from the RIPE NCC offices in
Amsterdam. Read the RIPE Labs article about this pilot scheme from
Massimiliano Stucchi:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/massimiliano_stucchi/pilot-training-course

RIPE NCC COMMUNITY PROJECTS FUND
The RIPE NCC provides EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value
to the operation and resilience of the Internet, with a focus on tools
and services benefitting the technical community in our service region.
You can apply for funding until 29 June 2018:
