Dear MANRS Community,

Following the recently published community survey on the future of the MANRS Actions, the Steering Committee is pleased to announce the initiation of the MANRS Development Process (MDP) to review the MANRS Network Operators Program. As part of this process, we are forming a dedicated MANRS Network Operators Program Review Working Group (NetOpsRev WG) to assess and evolve the MANRS Actions in line with community feedback and the evolving routing security landscape.

Participation in the Working Group is open to all interested individuals, including network operators, security experts, researchers, and other stakeholders. You do not need to be a current MANRS participant to join. A draft charter is available, and the group’s first task will be to review, revise, and finalize it.

We invite you to contribute your expertise to this important effort. If you are interested in participating, please contact the MANRS Secretariat by email at secretariat@manrs.org before May 1, 2026, providing a brief background about yourself, your current role, and relevant experience or interest in routing security.

We look forward to your engagement in shaping the next evolution of MANRS.
