Dear colleagues, RIPE 70 is approaching next week, and the IANA stewardship transition will once again be an important issue for discussion and consideration by the community. Unlike previous RIPE Meetings, discussion of IANA stewardship will be held in the plenary session to take place on Tuesday, 12 May, from 16:00-18:00 CEST.
This presentation will be delivered by the RIPE CRISP team members; Nurani Nimpuno, Andrei Robachevsky and RIPE NCC staff representative Paul Rendek, and RIPE NCC Legal Counsel, Athina Fragkouli. The presentation will take the following format, allowing time for community discussion and feedback: 1. Update on the CRISP process to date and the Internet numbers community proposal on IANA stewardship 2. Presentation of the draft Service Level Agreement prepared by RIR legal staff 3. Update on developments in other IANA-affected community (names, protocol parameters), discussion of concerns and expectations in moving towards a single IANA stewardship proposal As background to this discussion, the following documents are available for you to read: Internet Numbers Community IANA Stewardship Proposal: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/NRODiscussionList_20150116.pdf Draft Service Level Agreement for IANA Numbering Services: https://www.nro.net/news/call-for-comments-for-a-draft-sla-for-the-iana-numbering-services CRISP team information and archive material: https://www.nro.net/crisp-team Background information on IANA stewardship transition: https://ripe.net/iana-stewardship-transition RIPE 70 will also include an update on the work of the ICANN Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Enhancing ICANN Accountability by Athina Fragkouli, who serves as an Address Supporting Organisation representative on the group.
