The RIPE Chair Team Reports - May 2026
• 4 min read
The RIPE Chair Team reports on what to expect at RIPE 92, including the main programme and parallel events, WG chair selections and support for newcomers, as well as highlights from recent industry events.











“Excellent to know about the Public Speaking online tutorial. It’s a wonderful course, especially as I am currently preparing my postgraduate research presentation for my thesis defense on Deepfake Audio Detection in Speech Processing. I believe it will help me a lot. Just noticed a small typo in the report: under the third heading, the sentence starts with “If ths is your first RIPE Meeting...”, where “ths” should be corrected to “this.””
Thanks for the feedback and for spotting the typo, Muhammad. I am glad you find the tutorial useful. The typo is now fixed.
Thanks for keeping us updated. This is really useful. I am especially pleased to read that the technical community was congratulated for doing a good job during the COVID pandemic!
As already mentioned on the RIPE Mailing List, as Chair of the RIPE community and someone who has been involved in AFRINIC from the start, I fully support this statement. I would like to express my faith in the African Internet community and my special support for the AFRINIC staff. Having a strong and diverse RIR system in place is of utmost importance for the Internet community and the stability and further growth of the Internet.
Congratulations to the new RIPE Labs layout! Looks fresh and modern.
Hi Kurt, Thanks for the suggestion (and sorry for the slow response). That's an interesting thought. Personally I think it is important to keep the community together and to help bridge policy and technology rather than pulling them apart. We already have Working Groups that are more focused on policy and politics and others that cover more technical topics so people can choose where they want to engage more. Anyway, definitely worth thinking about. Cheers, Mirjam
