Morning, I wish to nominate Maria Häll, CEO of SUNET, as a candidate for the RIPE NCC Executive Board. Maria has a long history of involvement with the Internet and the RIPE Community. She has extensive experience in the arena of international Internet Governance, along with her work with the Swedish Government, SUNET (the Swedish NREN) and the RIPE Cooperation Working Group. Maria has demonstrated the ability to act as a mediator and facilitator, without compromising her goals or those of the organisations she represents. In the rapidly changing world in which we now live and work, these skills are vital. All of this makes her eminently qualified for a seat on the Executive Board.
