[ripe-list] [ENOG discuss] Sunsetting ENOG

Hi!
I have only one question:
When you wrought "we" - who are 'we'?

P.S.
For me, now, it is looks like:
""we" is cleverest men, who decide all by himself....

> Dear colleagues,
>
> ENOG (Eurasian Network Operators' Group) was established in June 2011 as a
> means to bring RIPE and the RIPE NCC closer to the local communities in
> Eurasia and to support Internet development in the region.
>
> Last year, we indefinitely postponed what would have been the 19th ENOG
> Meeting, slated to be held in Moscow. In the run up to that decision, we
> heard from many community members, first at a Birds of a Feather (BoF)
> session on the future of ENOG at ENOG 19 and subsequently during the BoF
> at RIPE 85 in Belgrade and on the ENOG Discuss mailing list. I then shared
> an email to the ENOG Discuss list, outlining the RIPE NCC’s view on the
> matter [1].
>
> These dialogues highlighted the complexities involved in continuing
> engagement efforts through ENOG and we appreciate the community’s
> willingness to have difficult but much needed conversations. In light of
> these discussions, we believe it is time to dissolve ENOG as a RIPE NCC
> regional platform. It is in no one’s interest to continue to support a
> platform that can no longer serve its purpose or deliver meaningful
> outcomes. If, in the future, the community indicates that there is a
> constructive role for ENOG to play, we will be open to this discussion.
>
> In practical terms, this means that we will archive the ENOG website and
> sunset the mailing list as of 31 July 2023, after which it will be kept as
> a read-only site. ENOG Meetings have already ceased to take place, and we
> will not plan ENOG Meetings for the foreseeable future. We thank everyone
> who has contributed their time and effort towards ENOG over the past
> decade.
>
> The RIPE NCC remains as committed as ever to supporting the technical
> communities in our service region. Our focus going forward will be on more
> localised efforts, whether this is training, workshops, providing staff to
> speak at events or supporting NOGs.
>
> Since our decision to postpone ENOG 19, we have also hosted our first
> Central Asia Peering and Interconnection Forum meeting in Kazakhstan last
> year, and the second of these events will take place in Tashkent,
> Uzbekistan from 19-20 September 2023 [2]. We will continue to host smaller
> events such as RIPE NCC Days and Internet Measurement Days (IMD) in the
> region that used to be covered by ENOG events, such as the IMD Kyrgyzstan
> which took place recently. We’ve supported other events including the KZ
> NOG, Baykal NOG, the Georgia NOG, the Kyrgyzstan IT Forum and the Central
> Asia, Armenia, Georgia and Moldova Internet Governance Forums (IGFs). We
> continue to engage with the Ukrainian Internet community through various
> online initiatives and our staff in Ukraine.
>
> We encourage you to take a look at NOGs and other activities taking place
> within the region [3].
>
> Please reach out to us if you have thoughts on how we can better support
> the technical communities in your region.
