RIPE 81 BoF on sustainable procurement
by Michael J. Oghia 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Dear all, I'd like to cordially invite you and your colleagues to a BoF session I am organising as part of RIPE81 on *Monday*, *26 October*, from *14:00*-*15:00* *CET* (UTC+1). The session draws on a post <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/michael_oghia/you-ve-got-the-power-sustainabl…> I authored for RIPE Labs over the summer, and aims to highlight how the RIPE community can contribute to a more sustainable Internet via decisions regarding buying hardware and sourcing services (procurement). It intends to gather interest and feedback from the community on the topic, and based on that discussion and the feedback received, potentially form a working group to write a document with more practical guidelines for operators (similar to ripe-554 <https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-554> for IPv6). I'm also happy to announce that Peter Pawlicki, the Director of Outreach and Education at Electronics Watch, will join as well to offer additional insights and expertise. In case you or any of your colleagues manage your organisation's procurement process, please do forward this to them. More information about the session is available here <https://ripe81.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/bof/>. And don't hesitate to reach out directly if you have any questions. Best, -Michael Oghia

by Mirjam Kühne 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Dear all, Responding to a recommendation by the RIPE Accountability Task Force [1], the RIPE Working Group Chair Collective drafted a document that describes their tasks and responsibilities as a group. The document is included below. We would like to ask you to review this document and send any feedback and suggestions back to this list. There will also be an opportunity to discuss this during the community plenary at RIPE 81. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair ========= [1]: "Consider providing an overview of what the Working Group Chair Collective does and what it is responsible for." You can see the full list of recommendations and their status here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-accountability-task-force/acc… RIPE WG Chair Collective - Definition and Tasks ————————————————————— The RIPE WG Chair Collective is composed of all RIPE WG chairs at a given time. As such, inclusion in the group is an ex officio role for WG chairs. The roles of the WG chairs as a collective have been defined in various RIPE Documents and webpages based on community agreement. The aim of this document is to collect these references in a single place to clarify the role and responsibilities of the RIPE WG Chair Collective. There are currently four roles that the collective as a whole is expected to fill. The tasks of individual WG chairs are defined in ripe-692 (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692). RIPE Meetings ——————— The chairs and co-chairs of each RIPE Working Group form a collective that meets regularly at RIPE Meetings and when necessary to discuss issues relating to the meetings. During these meetings, WG chairs coordinate the interaction between RIPE WGs to progress work items. They also facilitate interactions with RIPE NCC staff to continuously improve RIPE Meetings. Meeting agendas and summaries are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/cc. RIPE PDP ————— The RIPE Policy Development Process is currently documented in ripe-710 (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-710). The RIPE WG Chair collective’s role is defined in section 4. “Appeals Procedure”. Liaisons ———— The RIPE WG Chair Collective selects liaisons from within its members, who provide input and coordination to facilitate the work of other groups (for instance, the RIPE Programme Committee and RIPE Task Forces). The liaison to the RIPE Program Committee is described in ripe-600 (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-600). Liaisons to RIPE Task Forces can be provided upon request by the relevant task force. RIPE Chair Selection Process —————————————— The current RIPE Chair selection process is described in ripe-727 (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-727). It defines the following roles for the RIPE WG Chair Collective: - Continuity: if the RIPE Chair resigns and the Vice Chair is unavailable, initiate the selection procedure and select an ad-interim RIPE Chair - Consultation: in exceptional circumstances provide consultation to the RIPE Chair selection process.
