Formation of RIPE Cooperation Working Group

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the formation of the RIPE Cooperation 
Working Group. This working group is an important forum in which to 
discuss cooperation between the many stakeholders in the Internet 
community, including business, government, regulators and civil 
society. It follows on from the work of the Enhanced Cooperation Task 
Force, community discussions at the RIPE 56 Meeting in May 2008, and 
the recognition that a more open dialogue between all stakeholders is 
vital to ensuring the continued stability of the Internet.

A draft charter for the working group can be found at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/cooperation/index.html

This page also contains a link to subscribe to the Cooperation 
Working Group mailing list (cooperation-wg at ripe.net).

As with all RIPE Working Groups, both the name and charter of the 
Cooperation Working Group are open for discussion, whether on the 
mailing list or at RIPE Meetings.

Co-chairs for the Cooperation Working Group will be Martin Boyle, from the 
.uk registry Nominet, and Maria Häll, from the Government Offices of 
Sweden. 
We encourage everyone with an interest in multistakeholder cooperation to 
participate in this new working group, and we look forward to the working 
group making a valuable contribution to the RIPE community and its 
relationship with the 
broader Internet community.

Regards,

Martin Boyle and Maria Häll
