This was presented in the closing plenary as an indication about what the WG might do once it was established. It wasn’t the charter though. That’s still to be decided.<br class=""><br class="">Peter Koch suggested the much clearer (IMO) charter proposal below:<br class=""><br class="">o to discuss challenges and opportunities of "IoT” for the RIPE community<br class=""><br class="">o to serve as a focal point for the NCC regarding community input to their IoT activities, including liaisons<br class=""><br class="">o to invite IoT communities to for a dialogue on matters of operational relevance, including security, the numbering system, and applicability of standards<br class=""><br class="">o to develop positions of the RIPE community on IoT matters, operational and beyond<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">I think this is much more suitable and support Peter’s text. Though we could lose “operational and beyond” from the last bullet point.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>I think it's great and support Peter's text.
