<p dir="auto">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p dir="auto">[Please view this message as either plain text or HTML, according to your preference.]</p>
<p dir="auto">In view of significant comments received during what we had expected to be a restricted last call, Mirjam and I have decided to make a fresh draft of the proposed document on RIPE Task Forces and to make this available for your review <a href="https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/ripe-task-forces-definition-and-guidelines-v3/" style="color:#3983C4">here</a>. An onward link leads to an <a href="https://ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/ripe-task-forces-definition-and-guidelines/@@diff-items?id=ripe-task-forces-definition-and-guidelines-v3" style="color:#3983C4">alternative presentation</a> of the draft, in which recent changes are highlighted.</p>
<p dir="auto">We are very grateful to Boris Duval and Antony Gollan, who did most of the real work.</p>
<p dir="auto">We plan to close the review period just before 24:00 UTC on Sunday 10 April next, and to announce a two-week last-call period shortly after that.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please let us know what you think, in sufficient numbers so that we can understand whether the draft enjoys community consensus.</p>
<p dir="auto">For your convenience, the table below shows the dates when successive drafts of this proposed RIPE Document were announced.</p>
