 1. What work did the SIG do this year that should be highlighted?
 
-<!--
-   Some example items that might be worth highlighting:
-   - Major KEP advancement
-   - Important initiatives that aren't tracked via KEPs
-   - Paying down significant tech debt
-   - Governance and leadership changes
--->
+- [DRANET]
+  - DRANET is a Kubernetes Network Driver that uses Dynamic Resource Allocation
+  (DRA) to deliver high-performance networking for demanding applications in
+  Kubernetes.
+  - DRANET has reached [v1.0.1](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/dranet/releases/tag/v1.0.1)
+
+- [Gateway API Inference Extensions (GIE)](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api-inference-extension)
+  - Reached v1.0 milestone!
+  - Shipped important features: LoRA Syncer, Flow Control, Standalone EPP
+  - Latest release [v1.3.1](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api-inference-extension/releases/tag/v1.3.1)
+
+- [Gateway API]
+  - Gateway API is now moving to [monthly experimental releases with a four-month cadence for Standard channel](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/concepts/versioning/).
+  - Released [v1.4](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/tag/v1.4.0)
+  - Released [v1.3](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/tag/v1.3.0)
+
+- [Network Policy]
+  - Finalized Beta candidate API
+  - Note: `AdminNetworkPolicy` and `BaselineNetworkPolicy` are now combined into
+    a single `ClusterNetworkPolicy` resource.
+  - Three working ecosystem implementations of the API
+
+- [External DNS]
+  - Shipped five releases in 2025: v0.16, v0.17, v0.18, v0.19, v0.20
+  - Latest release [v0.20.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/releases/tag/v0.20.0)
+
+- [IP Masq Agent]
+  - Release [v2.12.6](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/ip-masq-agent/releases/tag/v2.12.6)
+
+- [Cluster Proportional Autoscaler]
+  - Release [v1.10.2](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-proportional-autoscaler/releases/tag/v1.10.2)
+
+- [Multi-Network]
+  - Work continues on the API definition using DRA as the integration point.
+
+- [Ingress-NGINX]
+  - Project is being [retired][nginx-retirement] due to challenges with security
+    vulnerabilities and sufficient maintainership.
+  - On March 2026, maintenance will be halted, and the project will be retired.
+    Existing deployments of Ingress NGINX will not be broken. Existing project
+    artifacts such as Helm charts and container images will remain available.
+[nginx-retirement]: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/
+
+- [InGate]
+  - InGate is being retired (early 2026). SIG Network and the Security Response
+    Committee recommend that all users begin migration to Gateway API or another
+    Ingress controller immediately.
+
+- [Blixt]
+  - The Blixt project is now retired.
 
 2. Are there any areas and/or subprojects that your group needs help with (e.g. fewer than 2 active OWNERS)?
 
+While there are no SIG Network projects which _couldn't_ benefit from more help
+and contributions, the following is a list of specific projects where there are
+known blockers (or otherwise critical needs) where more contributions, feedback,
+or implementation support is the key to "unblocking" them:
+
+- [Network Policy] APIs can use end user feedback to help us graduate towards Beta and GA.
+
+- [Multi-Network] would like to refine their set of use cases with feedback from users and
+  the community. There are pieces of a reference implementation of the multi-network API that would
+  benefit from more contributors.
+
+- [Gateway API]
+  - has a large number of features which are not yet standard which could use implementations
+    to join us to help us graduate those towards GA.
+  - has two CLI utilities which need more users and implementations to get involved to
+    provide feedback: [ingress2gateway], [gwctl]
+  - Agentic and AI workstreams would benefit from feedback and implementations from the community
+    to validate design decisions.
+
+[ingress2gateway]: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/ingress2gateway
+[gwctl]: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/tree/main/gwctl
+
+- [DRANET]
+  - DRANET welcomes additional implementations and feedback from the community for different high-performance
+    networking drivers.
 
 3. Did you have community-wide updates in 2025 (e.g. KubeCon talks)?
