Dear Dutch NLNOG colleagues,
Yesterday, we sent out the call for nominees to the RIPE Community Mailing List (see below).
If you’d like more information, feel free to reach out to me (or someone else from the RIPE NomCom) or submit your nominations tonominations(a)ripenomcom.org. (Self-nominations are also welcome!)
regards,
Rinse Kloek
Volunteer of the Ripe NomCom

This year, a nominating committee (NomCom), with help from the wider
community, will select two people to fill the positions of RIPE Chair
and Vice Chair. As chair of the 2025 RIPE NomCom, I would like to invite
you to nominate candidates for these positions.
As members of the RIPE community, you will have some idea of what the
RIPE Chair is responsible for and what kind of person you would like to
see in this role as well as the Vice Chair role. Please think about
suitable candidates, engage with them, discuss this with your peers, and
nominate people who will have the support of the community.
You may nominate any member of the RIPE community for either position.
Self-nominations are also permitted. NomCom members and members of the
RIPE NCC Executive Board are not eligible to be considered.
Send your nominations tonominations(a)ripenomcom.org and include a
description of the skills or expertise that make your candidate a
desirable choice. Please also include a working email address or
telephone number for the nominee and indicate whether they are aware of
your nomination.
The NomCom will also be interested in your opinion about the performance
of the incumbent RIPE Chair, Mirjam Kühne, and RIPE Vice Chair, Niall
O'Reilly.
The NomCom is also interested in any lessons and observations we or the
community can take away from the previous NomCom and the first nominated
RIPE Chair / Vice Chair term which is drawing to a close.
The deadline for all nominations is Sunday, March 30th 23:59 UTC.
You can find more information in the relevant RIPE Documents:

In response to feedback from operational security communities,
CAIDA's source address validation measurement project
(https://spoofer.caida.org) is automatically generating monthly
reports of ASes originating prefixes in BGP for systems from which
we received packets with a spoofed source address.
We are publishing these reports to network and security operations
lists in order to ensure this information reaches operational
contacts in these ASes.
This report summarises tests conducted within nld.
Inferred improvements during Jan 2025:
ASN Name Fixed-By
