Close. The Charter is presented to the RIPE community, and the RIPE
Chair is responsible for declaring when the community has approved it.

In practice, the process typically would have the charter sent to the
mailing list first, then when it looks like there's consensus it will be
scheduled for a slot in a plenary session at the RIPE meeting, and if it
still looks like there's consensus the RIPE Chair will announce this at
the conclusion of the relevant slot. At which point it's considered to
have been endorsed by the community.

This is also how approval of a taskforce's final report works (and a
bunch of other stuff I should think).
