Dear task force members,
Here are some notes from last week's call. I have received these
second-hand from Athina, as I wasn't on the call myself.
The group discussed the nature of the plenary presentation at RIPE 76.
Please send an email to the list if you have any comments on the
proposed structure.
Cheers
Antony

Accountability TF call notes - 19th call
Attendees:
Athina Fragkouli, Malcolm Hutty, Paul Rendek, William Sylvester
The group discussed the slides that would be presented in the plenary
presentation at RIPE 76.
One slide on what has been done so far: we have reviewed RIPE
structures, we believe they are accountable.
One slide noting that the accountability of these structures relies on
the trust that the community has in people in key positions (WG Chairs,
etc). If at any point these people are replaced, there is a concern that
the new people may have a different opinion on how these structures
work. There is also a concern around whether whether newcomers will
understand how the RIPE structure works, so they can respect and trust
it themselves. There is also a concern about ensuring that external
people understand how RIPE works so they can respect its integrity as a
community.
One slide noting that we have been working on a report which describes
this and we want the community's ideas and feedback on certain areas:
- Capture of RIPE community
- Values of the community
- Consensus
- The best way to record the essence of this
The presentation can finish by inviting people to the BoF on Monday evening.
