R I P E

RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens) is a collaborative organisation
open to all European Internet service providers.  The
objective of RIPE is to ensure the necessary administrative
and technical coordination to allow the operation of a pan-
European IP network.  RIPE does not operate a network of its
own.

RIPE has been functioning since 1989.  Currently more than
60 organisations participate in the work.  The result of the
RIPE coordination effort is that the individual end-user is
presented on his desk top with a uniform IP service
irrespective of the particular network his or her
workstation is attached to.  In April 1994 more than 650,000
hosts are reachable via networks connected by RIPE networks.
The total number of systems reachable on the Internet
worldwide is estimated at more than two million.

R I P E   N C C

The RIPE Network Coordination Centre supports all those RIPE
activities which cannot be effectively performed by
volunteers from the participating organisations.  Besides
supporting RIPE activities in general the NCC provides the
following services to network operators:

        o NETWORK MANAGEMENT DATABASE containing information about IP
          networks, DNS domains, IP routing policies and contact information

        o DELEGATED INTERNET REGISTRY a clearing house distributing IP
          network numbers

        o RIPE DOCUMENT STORE

        o INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SERVICE

A detailed description of these activities can be found in
the RIPE NCC Activity Plan (Document ripe-110).  This
document can be obtained from the RIPE document store.

The RIPE NCC is currently staffed by 3 full time employees:

 one NCC manager
 one NCC technical staff
 one NCC administrative staff

In addition there are two full time engineers working at the
RIPE NCC on Internet related development projects within the
RARE technical program.  The RARE association provides the
legal and financial framework for the NCC.  NCC staff are
employed by RARE.

R A R E

RARE is the European Association of research networking
organisations and their users and was founded in 1986.  RARE
carries out technical activities and provides a platform for
discussion and education to encourage the development of a
high-quality computer networking infrastructure for the
European research community.  RARE's aim is to overcome
national boundaries in research networking to enable
researchers to communicate, to use information and to access
computer resources throughout Europe and in other
continents.

Conditions

RIPE NCC personnel will be employed by the RARE association
under their standard employment conditions.  The salary will
depend on qualifications and experience.  Costs of
relocation to the Netherlands will be met.  The appointment
will be for one year with possible extension.

Location

The RIPE NCC is located at the Scientific Center
Watergraafsmeer (WCW) in Amsterdam.  The offices will be
situated at NIKHEF, the Dutch National Institute for Nuclear
Physics and High Energy Physics.
