Close. The Charter is presented to the RIPE community, and the RIPE Chair is responsible for declaring when the community has approved it. In practice, the process typically would have the charter sent to the mailing list first, then when it looks like there's consensus it will be scheduled for a slot in a plenary session at the RIPE meeting, and if it still looks like there's consensus the RIPE Chair will announce this at the conclusion of the relevant slot. At which point it's considered to have been endorsed by the community. This is also how approval of a taskforce's final report works (and a bunch of other stuff I should think). -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/ London Internet Exchange Ltd Monument Place, 24 Monument Street London EC3R 8AJ Company Registered in England No. 3137929 Trinity Court, Trinity Street, Peterborough PE1 1DA
