Hello working group, As per the WG chair policy we gave us, the WG chairs are appointed for a two year duty, and then have to step down (and can be re-appointed). https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selectio... It is Gert's turn to step down, and he has announced he will do this at the upcoming RIPE meeting. This means we have an empty position and are looking for volunteers to step forward. The job description and responsibilities are documented in https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-542. Gert has indicated that he is volunteering to serve another term, so we already have one candidate for the empty position. But don't let that deter you from volunteering! If you have any questions about what it means to be a working group chair then please contact us and we'll prepare you as good as we can. And if you want to volunteer and be eligible for selection at the upcoming RIPE meeting then please state so on the mailing list along with a short introduction for those of us that don't know you yet. Cheers, Sander Steffann APWG co-chair
