RIPE 63 Plenary

The RIPE 63 Meeting began Monday afternoon with welcome addresses from 
Rob Blokzijl, RIPE Chair, and the RIPE Meeting hosts, Christian Panigl, 
UniVie/ACOnet/VIX, and Robert Schiscka, nic.at. Desiree Miloshevic, of 
the Oxford Internet Institute, then gave an introduction to the results 
of the recent RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey

The Plenary continued with a detailed presentation by Emile Aben, RIPE 
NCC, on “World IPv6 Day - What Did We Learn?”. The presentation showed 
statistics from the day itself and concluded that it was a positive 
experience. Brian Nisbet, HEAnet, with the first technical presentation 
of the week, had the attendees laughing out loud at his amusing account 
of HEAnet’s experience with “Cisco CRS-1 & IOS-XR”.

The second Plenary session began with an emotive speech from Daniel 
Karrenberg, Chief Scientist RIPE NCC, entitled "Almost 20 Years of RIPE 
NCC: A Personal View on Current Challenges". It was followed by a 
high-level panel discussion on resource certification (RPKI). The 
discussion saw lengthy debate on the technical and potential regulatory 
issues surrounding certification.


RPKI Workshop

Earlier in the day, a RPKI workshop was held. Around 80 people 
participated in the event, during which they had the chance to make use 
all of the available open source tools and configure routers to base 
routing decisions on RPKI data.
