I went to read the IoT WG charter wondering what it was we were supposed to be doing in the first place :-) https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/iot says: The Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group will operate under the following charter: (1) To discuss challenges and opportunities of "IoT" for the RIPE community (2) To serve as a focal point for the RIPE NCC regarding community input to their IoT activities, including liaisons with other organisations (3) To invite IoT communities for a dialogue on matters of operational relevance, including security, the numbering system, and applicability of standards (4) To develop positions of the RIPE community on IoT matters {I numbered the points} I think that we've done a small bit of (4). I don't think that we've done (2) at all. On (1) and (3) we've done bit and pieces. I bring this up because I won't really know who a good co-chair is until I have a better idea what we are doing. Or to put it another way, maybe candidates could also say what they would do this way. I also wonder about whether physical attendance at RIPE meetings is a MUST, or just a WOULD BE NICE, and whether participants from outside the RIPE region are appropriate. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
