<p>Dear Peter, <br>
</p>
<p>I completely agree with your views that the WG is not as active.<br>
</p>
<p> The charter scope was the line of discussion, when the WG was
formed :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2017-November/subject.html#226">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/iot-wg/2017-November/subject.html#226</a></p>
<p>With Constanze, we have discussed means to identify the the WG
members requirements. Constanze had even sent a survey in this
objective:

</p>
<p>IMHO, we will keep the scope for the charter wide, but if there
are activities focusing on a particular domain, it is always
positive.</p>

<div class="">Dear collegues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
since this working group was founded I feel that it never really
got traction and struggled a bit to find it’s place in the RIPE
community. Also there is not much activity, despite the working
group's chair’s and some member’s efforts (hackathons, BCOP
document, survey) to motivate WG members to participate more
actively.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The WG’s charter covers a huge field of possible
activities around IoT while (to me it seems) other WG’s have
more focus. I may be wrong but I think that this lack of focus
makes it more difficult for this WG to organize joint
activities. The majority of the activities of the (technical)
RIPE WG’s are centered around IP and IP based networks therefore
I think focusing on similar areas could help this WG to become a
more lively part of the RIPE community. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">An example could be analysis and research around the
thread protocol of the Project Connected Home over IP of the
ZigBee Alliance. Based upon IPv6 and with products from major
players already shipping this could be one possible field of
activity that connects with other WG’s areas of expertise.<br
