extension of co-chair selection process
by Jim Reid 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

Colleagues, there still haven't been many expressions of support for the co-chair candidates. This is disappointing. I'm reluctant to make a consensus determination on the basis of only a handful of people supporting either candidate. It would clearly be much better for everyone if there were more statements of support. Unless there's a dramatic change in the next day or two, I will let the appointment process run for another week in the hope that gives extra time for more people speak up in favour of Sandoche or Peter. With that in mind, the final date for expressing your support for either candidate is May 3rd. I'll make a decision then based on the level of support that's been posted to that point. Could you please take a few moments to post on the appropriate threads to express your support for either Sandoche Balakrichenan or Peter Steinhauser? Thanks. Peter: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2019-March/000395.html Sandoche: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2019-March/000393.html

Sandoche BALAKRICHENAN for co-chair

appointing a co-chair
by Jim Reid 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, start your engines! :-) Since the WG now has an appointment process in place, it's time to use it. Anyone interested in volunteering as a co-chair is encouraged to step forward. It would be helpful if potential candidates could post on the list what their vision is for the WG and what they would/wouldn't do if appointed. I would also urge volunteers to consult RIPE692: "RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures" to get an appreciation for what this role entails. I'll also be happy to provide advice and guidance to anyone thinking about volunteering, either in private or on the list. The tentative schedule would be to finalise a list of potential candidates by early next year and run the selection process in March or theresabouts so the new co-chair can be in place in good time for RIPE78. Please speak up if you think this schedule is unreasonable or impractical. Although I have no say in who the WG chooses -- I just make the consensus determination -- I would very much like to see someone new in the role. It would be a pity if one of the usual suspects got the job. Not that I have any criticisms of them. A fresh face, new thinking and a break from the same old routine is both healthy and desirable IMO. However that will of course ultimately be a decision for the WG to make. Over to you...

co-chair selection is now under way
by Jim Reid 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Colleagues, it’s high time the WG found another co-chair. Two candidates have come forward: Peter Steinhauser and Sandoche Balakrichenan. Thanks to both for volunteering. Please do not post statements of support for them on this thread. Use the appropriate thread(s): Sandoche: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2019-March/000393.html Peter: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2019-March/000395.html Vote early, vote often! :-) Well, OK we don’t vote but I’m sure you all get the general idea. I hope to make a consensus determination by April 26th - just after the Easter holiday. Over to you...

CIRA Labs - Secure Home Gateway (SHG) Project Update
by Jacques Latour 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi All, Someone told me I'm not communicative enough ;-) Just wanted to give a quick update on the Secure 'IoT' Home Gateway initiative, we made good progress over the course of the last year, you can find project information here. https://github.com/CIRALabs/Secure-IoT-Home-Gateway · https://www.circleid.com/posts/20190305_an_update_from_cira_on_iot_security/ We're starting the 3rd phase of the project April 1st, looking at having fully running code, API definition and internet drafts for the gateway provisioning process, MUD controller and supervisor, IoT onboarding, SIDN SPIN integration, SHG APP and more. All this on top of the Turris Omnia platform. Still have along way to go. We can use some help. For those interested, the Government of Canada and ISOC started a multi-stakeholder process focused on IoT security and made recommendations on network resiliency, on labelling and on consumer education and awareness. There's good stuff we generated: https://iotsecurity2018.ca/ Added a picture to attract your attention :) [cid:image003.png@01D4E496.B21E1410] That's my report :) Someone from the team may be available to present at RIPE 78 Reykjavík in 54 Days 03 Hours 46 Minutes 49 Seconds.

appointing another co-chair
by Jim Reid 26 Feb '19

Here's what I posted back in November: Anyone interested in volunteering as a co-chair is encouraged to step forward. It would be helpful if potential candidates could post on the list what their vision is for the WG and what they would/wouldn't do if appointed. I would also urge volunteers to consult RIPE692: "RIPE Working Group Chair Job Description and Procedures" to get an appreciation for what this role entails. I'll also be happy to provide advice and guidance to anyone thinking about volunteering, either in private or on the list. The tentative schedule would be to finalise a list of potential candidates by early next year and run the selection process in March or theresabouts so the new co-chair can be in place in good time for RIPE78. Please speak up if you think this schedule is unreasonable or impractical. Although I have no say in who the WG chooses -- I just make the consensus determination -- I would very much like to see someone new in the role. It would be a pity if one of the usual suspects got the job. Not that I have any criticisms of them. A fresh face, new thinking and a break from the same old routine is both healthy and desirable IMO. However that will of course ultimately be a decision for the WG to make. I would also ask candidates to start a *new thread* -- eg "Your name for co-chair" or something like that -- when they post on the list so there are meaningful and relevant Subject: headers which make it easier to make a consensus judgement. This will also make it clearer for other members of the list to express their support for a candidate.
