[address-policy-wg] Call for volunteers for Policy Development Process

Dear Address Policy Working Group,

At recent RIPE meetings we have discussed how to better document the RIPE
policy development process. This will not only improve openness and
transparency, but may also encourage participation from a wide audience,
including those that are not able to attend RIPE meetings.

At the Address Policy working group meeting last week, I called for
volunteers to help writing the documentation for this process. I further
proposed a timeline for the task to result in drafts to be delveopled
before the next wg meeting.

A mailing list has been set up, to discuss the process. It
is open to everyone. You can subscribe at the URL below.

The list is publicly archived at:

We'd like to start the discussion from 17 May[1], to continue over the
summer. Our goal is to have completed work by mid November. The proposed
timeline and more information can be found in last week's presentation
to the Address Policy WG, available from:
