A quick and dirty outline charter for the IoT WG-to-be was prepared during the BoF at RIPE74. This was presented in the closing plenary as an indication about what the WG might do once it was established. It wasn’t the charter though. That’s still to be decided. Peter Koch suggested the much clearer (IMO) charter proposal below: o to discuss challenges and opportunities of "IoT” for the RIPE community o to serve as a focal point for the NCC regarding community input to their IoT activities, including liaisons o to invite IoT communities to for a dialogue on matters of operational relevance, including security, the numbering system, and applicability of standards o to develop positions of the RIPE community on IoT matters, operational and beyond I think this is much more suitable and support Peter’s text. Though we could lose “operational and beyond” from the last bullet point. Any comments or suggestions? I hope this list can reach (rough) consensus on the above text - or something fairly close to that. If so, we should be able to adopt this in Dubai without the need for a long discussion in the room.
