Hi Gordon,

Just to clarify, as a RIPE NCC employee I can not “chair” this, this needs a few volunteers from the community. Of course as the secretariat, me and my colleagues are fully committed to support this process. I also think it is too early to fill those seats, we can think about that later.

Anna was nice enough to volunteer to step up on Friday, there were also several people, including me, who had constraints with earlier flights back home.

From what I recall:

- Hans Petter pointed out there was a “spare” slot and suggested we asked the community to consider allocating that to us
- For that we need a rough idea of what we are going to do
- So a few people hung around for a bit after the meeting and we cobbled together the proto-charter which Anna posted

So the next steps:

- Anna to present this one slide to plenary on Friday
- Ask the room to agree to allocating the slot for RIPE 75

If that is a go, we can work on this list:

- Fix a programme for that Dubai slot
- Refine and finalise the proto-charter
- Find a few volunteers to moderate that session (happy to assist there).

And we can go into RIPE 75 with what I hope is a successful session in which we can make clear the RIPE community has a role and think about some of the ways to achieve our goals.

And of course we can reach out to the plenary at RIPE 75 to make this ad-hoc arrangement a more permanent one and grant this cabal the official status of “working group”, at which point hopefully we can find at least one more volunteer to support Anna and fill the chair slots
