[ripe-db-requirements-tf] RIPE Database Requirements Task Force status update

Friends & colleagues,

The RIPE Database Requirements Task Force was formed to create a RIPE 
Document containing requirements for the RIPE Database, with the 
intention to use that for changes to the RIPE Database going forward.

In addition to some discussion on the mailing list, we have had 5 calls 
and 1 face-to-face meeting on the topic. While we have some conclusions 
in our draft document, we feel additional input is necessary, so we will 
be publishing a survey on Monday.

In our original timeline we were to publish an outline of the document 
by the end of 2019, but this was too optimistic. Our current timeline 
involves collating the results of our survey and having another 
face-to-face meeting in February, with an expectation of having a draft 
document in mid-April. We are planning a BoF for RIPE 80, which is 
mid-May, to discuss the draft with the community present at the RIPE 
meeting.

Cheers,

--
