Service Criticality Rating of RIPE NCC Services

After consulting with the RIPE community, we agreed on a service criticality framework that considers three major areas: global routing, IP addresses and AS Numbers, and global DNS. At RIPE 84, we also said we would consult with the community to determine the criticality ratings for eight services. Ratings agreed with the community can be increased (but not decreased) based on internal analysis of other factors that could impact the RIPE NCC, such as financial or legal risks.

Below are the criticality ratings of the eight services we evaluated (as of May 2023):
