- There were no changes to the agenda.
- Issues were noted and discussed regarding: the quality of the webcast, the video quality in the overflow room, difficulties for presenters regarding the screens on the stage and not being able to use their own laptops, not enough microphones in the audience, the capacity of the rooms, providing more vegetarian options for attendees.
- The Collective reached consensus on the new PDP document (an update to ripe-500), which will apply to all policy proposals, including those currently in the PDP.
- The Collective discussed the new “Enjoying RIPE Meetings” document, which states that RIPE Meetings have always been a safe and supportive environment, and provides contact people for community members with any concerns.
- The Collective agreed to work with their respective WGs to establish a procedure for replacing WG Chairs.
- The minimum requirements are that each WG should have its own procedures, that these should be written down, that this should be done by the next RIPE Meeting and executed at the end of that meeting.
- The Collective agreed to submit their draft WG agendas in accordance with the WG Chair role description from now on (at least two weeks before each RIPE Meeting).
- The Collective agreed to give each WG one session slot at RIPE Meetings by default. An extra slot can be granted after this has been discussed with the Collective. The Collective agreed that the Address Policy WG was a special case and would usually require a second slot.
- The Collective discussed having a smaller third RIPE Meeting every year to take some of the pressure off the WGs.
- The RIPE NCC will prepare a draft plan for the next RIPE Meeting and share it with the Collective for discussion and approval.
- The Collective discussed the fact that it continued to grow larger as more WGs were added. The Collective agreed that while it was growing larger, there was value in the WG Chairs having the opportunity to all meet in one place.
- It was noted that the planned date for RIPE 70 in Amsterdam was clashing with another conference nearby. It was agreed to hold the meeting one week earlier, which would be the week of Ascension Day.
- The Collective applauded departing chairs David Kessens from the IPv6 WG and Ulf Kieber from the Database WG for their contribution.
- The Collective presented departing RIPE Chair Rob Blokzijl with a present and he thanked the WG Chairs and their predecessors for their help in running RIPE Meetings. He wished them luck.
