Abstract
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defines the foundational standards that underpin the global Internet. Yet, it's the RIPE community that brings these standards to life through deployment, often encountering unforeseen operational challenges.
This session will explore a critical question: How can the RIPE community effectively engage with the IETF to ensure that future standards are truly fit for purpose in real-world operational environments? Is active participation in the IETF a worthwhile investment for network operators?
Join us to hear firsthand accounts from several experienced RIPE community members. They will share their personal journeys, practical insights, and compelling reasons why your operational perspective is vital in shaping the future of Internet standards.
- Éric Vyncke (moderator), IETF INT Area Director
- David ‘tale’ Lawrence, IETF Adaptive DNS Discovery Chair & Liaison to ICANN
- David 'equinox' Lamparter, NetDEF (Open Source Routing & IPv6)
- Jen Linkova, IPv6 Plumber at Google, IETF 6MAN WG chair, and past RIPE IPv6 WG chair
- Sander Steffann, RIPE NCC Exec Board Member
