We're the RIPE NCC, the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, Middle East and parts of Central Asia. We act as the secretariat to the RIPE community.
🌍 The 20th Internet Governance Forum is under way in Lillestrøm, Norway, and the RIPE NCC is proud to be part of the discussions shaping the Internet's future.
On Day 0, our MD & CEO @hph joined global voices to explore how we can build digital governance together.
The future of the Internet? It’s up to all of us. Together.

Just gave a talk on the project I've been working for six months: Start Your Own Internet Resiliency Club
Short version: collect a group of networking experts in the same city, buy them all LoRa radios and power banks, install Meshtastic, and pick a channel to communicate on. If you lose all power and communications, you can communicate over LoRa to bootstrap the recovery of the real internet
