[[e-mail]]

Hi all, 

Thank you Charles for managing the handover. The transition is now official and implemented in the Datatracker. Welcome REGEXT to OPS!

Please find below some material, fwiw:

* State of OPS nation: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/125/materials/slides-125-opsarea-2-state-of-ops-nation-02.
* A digest of key topics in progress in the area: https://github.com/IETF-OPS-AD/OPSAREA-meetings/blob/main/Chairs-Slides/IETF%23125%20OPS%20Digest.pdf
* Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-rfc5706bis/
* The tentative agenda for IETF#126 OPSAREA Open meeting: https://github.com/IETF-OPS-AD/OPSAREA-meetings/blob/main/ietf126.md

Looking forward working with you all.

Cheers,
Med
