I think this list absolutely should be used for various things discussed in the RIPE Region, as a way to coordinate and flag issues we see here and there.
Once upon a time people working with IG issues where very alone. No-one to talk with. Many parties (including RIPE NCC and myself then at Cisco) started with roundtable meetings so that at least people formally working with IG issues in governments (i.e. lower level staff) could get in contact with each others. This did grow, the Cisco (and other) round tables merged with and was taken over by RIPE NCC and this wg was created as the set of people working with IG issues did grow. This list because of this from my point of view could be a place where more things are shared. Unfortunately I am not myself working with IG issues as much as earlier. I do get questions of course and might have a few things to send off to this list the next few days. Triggered by energy sent by the low but still activity on this list. So, the list is somewhat different from the meetings. Meetings should, I think, and can much more if the list is used effectively, be used for exactly what we did in Copenhagen. Interesting people presenting interesting topics. Discussions can very well happen on the list. Including not only information from RIPE NCC what they have done, said and where they have been, but also where they will go and potentially what they will say (so that WG members can feed input to RIPE NCC in advance). It is because of this not either or. We can do presentation like things and discussions. Best, Patrik
