Dear colleagues, 

The RIPE Accountability Task Force has updated the draft scope based on community feedback (below). We are now seeking your approval on the updated version. 

In this latest vesion, we have changed the second bullet point from: "Document existing RIPE community structures or processes." to "Assemble a list of existing RIPE community structures or processes." This better reflects the stock-taking activity that we intend to perform. 

With this, we believe that we have addressed the community's concerns, and we would like to get your blessing by the end of RIPE 74. We would like to avoid wordsmithing this any further and are considering this "last call" for comments. Please share any comments or statements of support on this mailing list before Friday, 12 May. 

We will also be giving a brief update on the scope and work of the task force at RIPE 74 in Tuesday's Plenary at 9am. There will be plenty of time for comments from the floor, so please attend and give us your feedback. 


Kind regards

RIPE Accountability Task Force Chairs
Filiz Yilmaz & William Sylvester
