Your full name: Stéphane Bortzmeyer Your email address: bortzmeyer+ripe@nic.fr Your organisation: AFNIC Your LIR RegID: fr.nic Name of the person you wish to nominate/support: Farzaneh Badiei Nominee's email address: farzaneh.badii@gmail.com Reason for nominating the candidate: Farzaneh Badiei is a well-known scholar in the field of Internet governance and, unlike some people in this field, really knows what happens on the ground (she worked on RPKI policies, for instance). I believe she could bring a lot of insight to this aspect of the work of RIPE. May be some people would prefer RIPE to deal only with strictly technical matters but the ship has sailed: whatever we wish, we are now a part of the "Internet governance" circus and it is better to know about it.
