The lower the layer on the pyramid of needs is, the more important it is for person’s physical and mental health; however, all layers of the networking stack are equally important for the resilient Internet. In this instalment of the series, Vesna Manojlovic goes to the third layer - network connec…
Code of Conduct Task Force - Spring 2021 Update
Leo has been involved with the management of Internet Number Resources at ISPs, the RIPE NCC, and in ICANN's IANA team.

A Brand New Look at the Best of RIPE Labs
Hailing from a research background in philosophy, linguistics and computer science, I came to the RIPE NCC back in 2016 and took on my role as the RIPE Labs Editor in 2020. My job is to help keep all corners of the Internet community informed and engaged on developments and events that continue to shape the Internet as we know it. As RIPE Labs editor, I'm here to help you to get your ideas across on RIPE Labs. Whether you have questions about how to create a new article or profile, need help preparing a draft article for publication, or would just like to discuss whether your idea would be a good fit for RIPE Labs, don't hesitate to get in touch.
RIPE Labs has just gone through a big transformation into a better, brighter, more beautiful version of itself. To help get a feel for what's changed, we take a tour through some of your favourite articles from the past year or so so you can enjoy them all over again in their fresh new setting.

HR from Home: Adapting in a Year of COVID
Carolien Vos, HR Director of the RIPE NCC. Since april 2019 I work as the HR Director for the RIPE NCC. In this job I am responsible for aligning RIPE NCC's people management practices with the organisational strategy. Employee well-being and engagement is an important topic for the RIPE NCC, since without the people we would not be able to deliver to our members. As an organisation we take good care of our people but at the same time I see it as a personal challenge to always seek for improvement, with a personal touch.
In March 2020, the RIPE NCC moved from a vibrant office in the centre of Amsterdam to fully remote work in almost a split second. One year on, HR Director Carolien Vos talks about how we as an organisation have adapted in order to keep functioning during a global pandemic.
