[ripe-list] RIPE Accountability Task Force: Draft Report and Next Steps

Dear colleagues,

Since RIPE 73, the RIPE Accountability Task Force has been looking at
the structures, processes and documentation of RIPE to ensure that we:

- Are accountable to ourselves as a community
- Can explain our workings to newcomers
- Can demonstrate our accountability to outside observers

We are now ready to share our draft report with the RIPE community and
we invite you to share any input on this mailing list by 16 November.

The draft report contains a set of recommendations that we will be
asking the community to consider when we publish our final report
towards the end of the year.

You can find the draft report here:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-accountability-task-force/accountability-task-force-draft-report.pdf

We will be going over the work of the task force in more detail at RIPE
77 during the Tuesday afternoon plenary session (14:00 - 15:30). If you
will be attending the RIPE Meeting or participating remotely, we
encourage you to join in and share your feedback there as well.

***Next Steps***

As mentioned above, we will have a comment period until 16 November to
gather community input on the draft document.

The task force will then implement any required changes to the document
before publishing a final version by 14 December at the latest. After
the publication of this final report, the task force will disband.

The RIPE community can then decide what it wants to do with the final
report and whether any of the recommendations need to be implemented.

Regards

William Sylvester, Chair
