Dear colleagues and members

We have received a lot of interest from the community regarding our January open call to form a Small Task Team.
The STT will work on a Coop WG community response to then pending EC consultation on the future of digital infrastructure in Europe.

The European Commission consultation has been published last week:
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/future-electronic-communications-sector-and-its-infrastructure

While this it is in no way a small task, we would like to thank the following RIPE community volunteers for stepping forward: 

Carsten Schiefner
Alex de Joode
Patrik Fältström
Frode Sørensen
Thomas Lohninger
Konstantinos Komaitis 
Christian de Larrinaga

Bastiaan Goslings, from RIPE NCC, will be providing necessary staff support for the Small Task Team work to be organised.

We plan to share our draft response prior to its submission and we hope to have time allocated at the RIPE86 meeting Coop WG to discuss it further.
Please send any suggestions of comments you may have to this list.

Desiree, Julf and Achilleas
