[ripe-list] Seeking Input on the Future of the Anti-Abuse Working Group

Dear Anti-Abuse Working Group Members,

Thank you for your responses and support for both the WG itself and the 
current Co-Chairs. We are pleased to see that you prefer to keep this WG 
active.

As Co-Chairs, we see an opportunity to broaden our scope (i.e., 
re-charter). Our main intention is to bring in fresh energy and 
perspectives by welcoming new faces. Additionally, there are relevant 
security topics that don't always neatly fit into other WGs.

Regarding the question of what a new charter might entail, we have put 
together a preliminary, high level, draft that we would love to discuss 
further at RIPE88.

Objective:
The Security Working Group is committed to fostering collaboration, 
sharing best practices, and addressing security challenges within the 
RIPE community. The primary objective of the WG is to enhance the 
security, resilience, and stability of the Internet infrastructure 
within our region. Tackling abuse of Internet infrastructure and 
resources would remain a goal of the WG.

Scope:
- Identifying and analyzing emerging security threats and 
vulnerabilities affecting Internet infrastructure.
- Collaborating with stakeholders to develop and advocate for best 
practices, guidelines, and standards for securing Internet resources.
- Facilitating information sharing and cooperation among network 
operators, law enforcement, and relevant entities to mitigate security 
risks.
- Providing education, training, and outreach initiatives to raise 
awareness of security issues and promote best practices adoption.
- Develop policies and best practices to improve security and response 
to security incidents and abuse issues.

We are looking forward to your input and comments.

Best regards,
Brian, Tobias, Markus
