RIPE Site: Hints From Outside
Taras Geychenko, Hostmaster LLC

Kaveh Ranjbar, RIPE NCC, told the meeting there was a lot of legacy still existing in the RIPE NCC’s system, and that the first review started with SSO about five years ago. Kaveh said the second and current review is migrating data from the RIPE NCC’s LIR Portal to new system, and that while the RIPE Database has some support for SSO, it is not full support because there is still a lot of legacy in that system. Kaveh then asked for feedback from the community, as all development in these systems is based on that feedback.

Taras told Kaveh the community needs more tips on how to use the site in its current state.

Kaveh suggested that the audience, when using the site, to think about their own security model and map that to reality – for example, if you are one organisation, use one org object. Another example is to match your role accounts to real people in your organisation. Kaveh also suggested people enable two-factor authentication, as it is important to avoid attacks in this way.

Vahan said Armenia would host WCIT next year.

Dmirtry Kohymanyuk, Hostmaster Ltd, suggested Kaveh send a link to one or more of the RIPE mailing lists.

Alexander Isavnin, the Open Net, told the audience the RIPE NCC is a neutral organisation to collect data. He went on to say that the audience has knowledge of local markets that are interesting at a local level, but not necessarily at an international level.
