[Accountability-tf] Notes from 19th call

Dear task force members,

Here are some notes from last week's call. I have received these 
second-hand from Athina, as I wasn't on the call myself.

The group discussed the nature of the plenary presentation at RIPE 76. 
Please send an email to the list if you have any comments on the 
proposed structure.

Cheers

Antony

Accountability TF call notes - 19th call

Attendees:
Athina Fragkouli, Malcolm Hutty, Paul Rendek, William Sylvester

The group discussed the slides that would be presented in the plenary 
presentation at RIPE 76.

One slide on what has been done so far: we have reviewed RIPE 
structures, we believe they are accountable.

One slide noting that the accountability of these structures relies on 
the trust that the community has in people in key positions (WG Chairs, 
etc). If at any point these people are replaced, there is a concern that 
the new people may have a different opinion on how these structures 
work. There is also a concern around whether whether newcomers will 
understand how the RIPE structure works, so they can respect and trust 
it themselves. There is also a concern about ensuring that external 
people understand how RIPE works so they can respect its integrity as a 
community.

One slide noting that we have been working on a report which describes 
this and we want the community's ideas and feedback on certain areas:

- Capture of RIPE community
- Values of the community
- Consensus
- The best way to record the essence of this

The presentation can finish by inviting people to the BoF on Monday evening.
