Dear colleagues, The RIPE Accountability Task Force was formed in October 2016 following a presentation <https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1248/> at RIPE 73. Since then task force has agreed on a draft scope (below) and published at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/ripe-accountability-task-force We invite RIPE community members to send any feedback to this mailing list before we consider the scope final. We are currently undertaking a review of the community's procedures, documentation and structures in alignment with the draft scope and we will communicate our progress on this soon too. Please let us know what you think.
