[ripe-list] LAST CALL EXTENDED to 18 Feb: Draft Document: RIPE Task Forces - Definition and Guidelines

Dear colleagues,

I believed I had sent this message to you all on 21 January, but 
discovered only today
that I had picked the wrong recipient, from the list of those beginning 
with “RIPE”
which my mail app presented.

At that time, Mirjam and I felt that a two-week extension to the last 
call would be
appropriate, as the suggestions received in advance of the original 
deadline
appeared uncontroversial, but ought of course to be subject to community 
review.

This extension would have expired tomorrow.
This would clearly be unreasonable, so we have set 18 February 2022 as 
the new deadline,

Please accept my apologies for my mistake.

We have updated the text to take account of some suggestions received
during the last call period, and are therefore extending the last call
period until 17:00 UTC on Friday, 18 (not 4) February 2022 to allow 
comment
on the latest changes only.

Thanks to Cynthia Revström and Randy Bush for their helpful 
suggestions,
and to Boris Duval of the RIPE NCC for preparing the updated document.

RIPE Vice-Chair
