Hi, I am replying with meta-questions/suggestions.

I went to read the IoT WG charter wondering what it was we were supposed to
be doing in the first place :-)

https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/iot says:

The Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group will operate under the following charter:

(1) To discuss challenges and opportunities of "IoT" for the RIPE community
(2) To serve as a focal point for the RIPE NCC regarding community input to
  their IoT activities, including liaisons with other organisations
(3) To invite IoT communities for a dialogue on matters of operational
  relevance, including security, the numbering system, and applicability of
  standards
(4) To develop positions of the RIPE community on IoT matters

{I numbered the points}

I think that we've done a small bit of (4).
I don't think that we've done (2) at all.
On (1) and (3) we've done bit and pieces.

I bring this up because I won't really know who a good co-chair is until I
have a better idea what we are doing.
Or to put it another way, maybe candidates could also say what they would do
this way.

I also wonder about whether physical attendance at RIPE meetings is a MUST,
or just a WOULD BE NICE, and whether participants from outside the RIPE
region are appropriate.
