Dear ENOG community,
We received a message that RIPE NCC is changing their engagement in ENOG
meetings support, so we (Programme Committee) feel the need to share the
latest information with you, the ENOG community.
During the recent PC call we requested that RIPE NCC should discuss the
ENOG meetings and its outcome with the community, but noone has sent the
mail to the community. So I will do this.
Please direct all comments and suggestions back to RIPE NCC staff and
please cc: this ENOG mailing list for transparency purposes.
Best regards,
Sergey Myasoedov

Dear Colleagues,
After serious consideration and discussion with some of you and other
community members, the RIPE NCC has decided to adjust its direct support of
ENOG meetings. Starting in 2018, the RIPE NCC will co-organise one ENOG
meeting per year.
After twelve ENOG Meetings we feel that ENOG has not really pulled together
Eastern European and Central Asian technical communities in a way that was
envisaged. ENOG meetings work very well in Russia, in Moscow and St.
Petersburg in particular and also in the Ukraine. It appears that ENOG
meetings are not pulling together a sufficient number of community members
from the various countries at each meeting. ENOG meetings held outside of
Russia or the Ukraine are populated by individuals from the host country
and a handful of members from the Russian community.
The response from the RIPE NCC member survey has called for more localised
engagement across its service region. It is not purely a question of the
amount of resources but more a question of how we deploy them to benefit
the membership and local community with the greatest coverage. A
re-allocation of resources will allow the RIPE NCC to increase its efforts
in focused outreach across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. RIPE NCC staff and
financial resources will be directed towards diverse activities such as
member lunches, training courses or country-focused meetings with local
content tailored to those specific communities. At this time, this formula
of engagement has proven to be successful.
The RIPE NCC will continue to work closely with the community to guarantee
the on going success of the ENOG meetings. We believe that with one
larger-scale ENOG meeting a year and a distribution of other outreach and
community activities we will be able to reach more technical community
members and individuals that would otherwise not have an opportunity to
come together and interact with each other and the RIPE NCC.
I will be joining the ENOG PC call later today and would be happy to answer
any questions you may have. Please feel welcome to contact me about this or
any other RIPE NCC outreach activity. I look forward to working with you
all to hold a successful ENOG meeting in St. Petersburg.
Kind Regards,
Paul Rendek
RIPE NCC
