Re: [dns-wg] retaining ripe.int

2015-07-01 Thread João Damas
Totally agree. The ripe.int domain comes from the time of ip6.int (another bad 
idea) and the perceived need of alternatives to arpa (for the wrong reasons).
The sooner this gets dropped the better.

Re: [dns-wg] Yeti DNS and the RIPE NCC

2016-05-24 Thread João Damas
I think this fits the RIPE NCC very well given their role as “more than just an 
RIR”, their past and ongoing research work as well as their expertise in 
running of the Internet’s DNS root servers and their ability to both inform 
future experiments and translate outcomes into root server operations as 
applicable.

Re: [dns-wg] Yeti DNS and the RIPE NCC

2016-05-25 Thread João Damas
Actually Jim, first comes the poll of the community to see if this fits, later 
comes what you suggest, if the community decides to ask the RIPE NCC to look 
into it, or have we become the Ministry of IP?

Re: [dns-wg] Volunteer list for RIPE DNS working group chair

2020-10-15 Thread João Damas
Hi Randy 
I agree with you and that’s why i pushed for the dns wg to have a blind period 
of candidate collection during which no one sees who else might be 
volunteering. What you see now is the publication of the candidate list after 
that period elapsed. Turns out no one else volunteered
On top of that we have term limits to “force” renewal, so basically I think we 
agree

Dear RIPE WG,

I would like to volunteer to become a DNS working group co-chair. As a
frequent participant and an occasional presenter at this working group I
would like to help making sure that the program of the working group meetings
continues to stay interesting and relevant.

I'm working for the research department of the Dutch ccTLD operator SIDN for
more than 6 years. There, amongst other topics, I have been studying
different aspects of DNSSEC and domain name abuse. Also, I'm a guest
researcher at the University of Twente in the Design and Analysis of
Communication Systems group (DACS). I believe that my experience working in
industry and academia will help me finding and selecting speakers that
provide relevant and novel insights to the working group members. Please feel
free to contact me in case of any questions or if you would like to get to
know me a bit better.

Over the past 20 plus years I have worked with DNS holding a variety of 
industry related roles ranging from working for a global ISP to working at RIPE 
NCC (Leading the team who run K Root). I have also worked at ICANN (Assisting 
with the GTLD Programme) and for the last 13 years Nominet, helping to keep .uk 
safe and stable.

I have designed, deployed and managed DNS and DNSSEC implementations both small 
and large and have been responsible for designing and operating Nominet’s GTLD 
DNS/DNSSEC Platform which has now grown to operating 80 TLDs. I am an 
experienced leader having led various engineering teams across operations 
during my time at Nominet. I have and continue to enjoy playing an active role 
in the DNS Community, giving presentations at OARC, RIPE and ICANN amongst 
others. I’m currently serving as the Vice Chair of the CSC at ICANN, I am an 
active member of the ICANN TLD Ops steering committee and have been a member of 
the OARC PC for the past year.

I would relish the challenge of working with the other chairs to bring some 
fresh ideas to the DNS-WG.

Regards, see you soon,
Joao on behalf of the DNS WG co-chairs
