This WG seems to be completely silent. Is there any cooperation going on? I intend to be at RIPE62 in Amsterdam. I would like to have on the agenda: - a review of RIPE's cooperation with the EU (including RIPE NCC), with a discussion of how RIPE will contribute to any forthcoming directives relating to the Internet. - a list of all other 'cooperation' activities that have taken place since RIPE61. - a summary of current activities. Please.

Yes, and no. There is a review going on, and a meeting was held in late November in Brussels. Rumours say that COM will not open up the directive, but instead clarify what is intended. Which to me is another reason for the coop wg to bring this up. direction of the Cooperation WG.
I note that the EU did not feature on the agenda at Ripe61, and I needed to attend the parallel Routing WG session. Do you think that providing advice to the EU on matters of technical feasibility and effectiveness falls within the scope of this WG?
I think it would be a good idea to discuss this at the next wg meeting, possibly under a meta-discussion on "who has the responsibility to do what". Specifically looking at what an ISP can do, what they do not want to do etc. Any other takers, ideas? Patrik
