Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce that, together with staff of the RIPE NCC Learning & Development team (who did most of the work of course), we developed a series of training modules for RIPE Working Group Chairs and those of you who might consider volunteering for such a role in the future. There are currently four modules: 1. The RIPE Community and its Structure 2. The Role of the RIPE Working Group Chair 3. How is work done in RIPE Working Groups? 4. How do you keep a Working Group working? plus a short introduction module that explains the scope and introduces the other modules. All available modules can be found in the RIPE NCC Academy (you will need a RIPE NCC access account): https://academy.ripe.net/ripe-wg-chairs Once you're logged in and clicked on Get Started, you will see all modules. [*] We are working on additional modules that will focus on topics such as building consensus, the Code of Conduct and the Policy Development Process. If you have any comments or questions, please let me know. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [*] The time estimate includes future modules and is generally on the high side.
