New Draft RIPE Programme Committee Charter for your Review
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, We made some small changes to the RIPE Programme Committee Charter (currently ripe-829): In section 3. Composition and Roles, we added the option to have a representative from the regional community in Central Asia (CAPIF) on the RIPE PC (similar to the representatives from MENOG and SEE). At the same time, we added "RIPE" in front of WG Chairs and we added links to CAPIF, SEE and MENOG (all in section3). You can find the new draft version here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… Please let me know, if you have any comments or questions. The deadline for comments is 19 January 2026. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC
