There is an appetite for the wider issue of security, and a place that a RIPE working group could fill. The scope below looks reasonable for re-chartering the anti-abuse working group.

We are pleased to see that you prefer to keep this WG active. As Co-Chairs, we see an opportunity to broaden our scope (i.e., re-charter). Our main intention is to bring in fresh energy and perspectives by welcoming new faces. Additionally, there are relevant security topics that don't always neatly fit into other WGs. Regarding the question of what a new charter might entail, we have put together a preliminary, high level, draft that we would love to discuss further at RIPE88. — snip — Objective: The Security Working Group is committed to fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and addressing security challenges within the RIPE community. The primary objective of the WG is to enhance the security, resilience, and stability of the Internet infrastructure within our region. Tackling abuse of Internet infrastructure and resources would remain a goal of the WG. Scope: - Identifying and analyzing emerging security threats and vulnerabilities affecting Internet infrastructure. - Collaborating with stakeholders to develop and advocate for best practices, guidelines, and standards for securing Internet resources. - Facilitating information sharing and cooperation among network operators, law enforcement, and relevant entities to mitigate security risks. - Providing education, training, and outreach initiatives to raise awareness of security issues and promote best practices adoption. - Develop policies and best practices to improve security and response to security incidents and abuse issues. — snap — We are looking forward to your input and comments. Best regards, Brian, Tobias, Markus </blockquote> </div></body></html>
