Your full name: Roelof Meijer Your email address: roelof.meijer(a)sidn.nl Your organisation: SIDN Your LIR RegID: nl.sidn Nominee name: Danko Jevtović Nominee's email address: danko(a)jevtovic.rs Reason for nomination: I have known and worked with Danko Jevtović as colleague and peer in among other the professional environment of CENTR and the CENTR board and ICANN and the ICANN Board. During those years I have experienced Danko as both a dedicated and very high level professional as wel as a pleasant, approachable, nuanced and resilient person. Danko's professional background and skills encompass both a deep operator experience as well as a wide business and governance experience. As founder and Co-CEO of SezamPro, a pioneering Serbian ISP and RIPE LIR, and former CEO of the Serbian ccTLD registry, he brings firsthand experience of both running internet infrastructure and leading a national registry. Combined with his complex governance experience accrued (among others) during his tenure on the ICANN Board, he would bring a very valuable operator perspective and South-Eastern European representation to the RIPE NCC Executive Board.

Your full name: Jan Zorz Your email address: jan(a)go6.si Your organisation: si.xenya Your LIR RegID: si.xenya Nominee name: Danko Jevtović Nominee's email address: danko(a)jevtovic.rs Reason for nomination: I am formally nominating Danko Jevtovic for the RIPE NCC Executive Board. Danko has the exact mix of hands-on ISP experience and heavy-duty corporate governance the board needs right now. He spent over a decade building and running SezamPro, so he knows the operational realities of LIRs from the ground up. Crucially for a board role, Danko brings serious governance expertise. He holds an IEDC Bled Executive MBA, is an INSEAD certified corporate director, and has applied these skills at the highest levels. As Vice-Chair of the ICANN Board, he chaired the Finance Committee overseeing a 150M USD budget, and he previously served as Treasurer at CENTR. The RIPE NCC needs board members who understand both the technical infrastructure side and high-level financial and regulatory governance. Danko delivers on both fronts.
