Also ISP's should be brought on board, it's in their sole interest as well. To have an effect we need to gain maximum traction in the industry.

I would work on connecting the ongoing activities to form technical standards and reference implementations for easy adoption by the industry. I would also work on advocating these to industry players (i.e. Broadband Forum) to get broader support for these activities as well.

It would be helpful if potential candidates could post on the list what their vision is for the WG and what they would/wouldn't do if appointed. I would also urge volunteers to consult RIPE692: "RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures" to get an appreciation for what this role entails. I'll also be happy to provide advice and guidance to anyone thinking about volunteering, either in private or on the list.

It would be a pity if one of the usual suspects got the job. Not that I have any criticisms of them. A fresh face, new thinking and a break from the same old routine is both healthy and desirable IMO. However that will of course ultimately be a decision for the WG to make.
