Dear Colleagues,

A new RIPE Document, ripe-782, "RIPE Task Forces: Definition and Guidelines" has been published at https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-782/.

This document sets out how RIPE Task Forces are created and how they operate; it updates and expands on the information on RIPE task forces contained in Part II, Chapter 4 of ripe-464, the report of the RIPE Enhanced Cooperation Task Force.

Mirjam and I would like to thank each of you who gave suggestions, feedback, and editorial support during the preparation of this document. I have tried to acknowledge all of you by name in the document itself, and ask you to pardon any inadvertent omissions.

Best regards,

Niall O'Reilly
RIPE Vice-Chair
