Dear colleagues, The RIPE Code of Conduct Task Force published the new draft code of conduct in July. The deadline for comments and feedback ended on 17 September. Both on the mailing list and during the online session the Task Force organised, we received positive feedback about this new version: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/code-of-conduct A number of suggestions were made earlier that the Task Force incorporated in this final version of the code of conduct. I am confident that there is consensus now to move ahead and implement this new code of conduct. Starting tomorrow, 28 September 2021, it will apply to all participation in RIPE, including RIPE mailing lists and RIPE Meetings as described in the scope of the document. I would like to thank the Task Force members for the great work they’ve done so far. Having this updated code of conduct in place is an important and positive step for us as a community. The Task Force will now focus on the two remaining documents as described in their charter: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/code-of-conduct-task-force Kind Regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair
