Dear Colleagues, Yesterday, I published a RIPE Laps article reflecting on the geopolitical discussions at WTDC, IPv6+ and other proposals, especially as some might have implications on the Internet industry and community. The article also highlights the NCC's contribution to the ITU-D Partner2Connect coalition initiative. https://labs.ripe.net/author/chafic_chaya/wtdc-22-the-crossroad/ <https://labs.ripe.net/author/chafic_chaya/wtdc-22-the-crossroad/>
