The RIPE Community is a collaborative group focused on the management and distribution of Internet resources, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. It operates under the RIPE NCC (Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre), which is responsible for allocating and registering IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers. Members of the RIPE Community include network operators, researchers, and policymakers who come together to share knowledge and best practices. They participate in meetings, workshops, and discussions to address challenges related to Internet infrastructure and governance, fostering a more resilient and efficient Internet.
