Remote participation was possible, with a live video feed. This comment, some two months after RIPE 61, is the first comment that has been made about this. And while I am not in any way ignoring it I don't think it's unfair to say that it suggests the WG were either in support or ambivalent towards what happened?
It was quite different to figure out, based on the transcript, what was going on. It would have been nice to announce the intention of removing the WG chair beforehand, on the mailing list. I think the whole thing is quite odd and unnecessary, but it's happened. The main lesson to me seems that RIPE needs a clear procedure for removing WG chairs before their term ends. Beyond that, it's probably time to move on. That being said, so far, I've refrained from commenting on the WG session because I wanted to give the task force a chance to produce results. What's the status with that? Will the task force conduct its business mostly on a public mailing list, or behind closed doors? -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
