We already make most of the information that is being requested in this proposal available in the RIPE NCC Annual Report, Activity Plan and the website, although it may not be quite in the format that is being proposed.
That's the point; this list would be the one canonical place to learn about those services. Of course, this list could be included in existing publications, this may even be preferable. This proposal lists requirements only, RIPE NCC is welcome to implement them as they see fit.
Therefore, we'll discuss this proposal at the Board meeting on the 26 March 2013 and make a decision on if and how this information could be better presented.
That is great to hear. From your board POV, do you think it would make sense to still codify the requirement even if you decide to produce this list anyway?
From my community POV, I think it makes sense to make sure the service does not go away and will always fulfill a certain minimum.
Just one slight caveat, although the information is certainly available, producing it on a monthly basis in the form requested will add reporting overheads that might be deemed excessive.
I proposed yearly, not monthly, reports. Thanks, Richard PS: FYI, I am planning to write new versions of all five proposals towards the end of the week to allow for more feedback.
