Your full name: Peter A Thimmesch Your email address: peter.thimmesch@addrex.net Your organisation: Addrex, Inc. Your LIR RegID: us.addrex Name of the person you wish to nominate/support: William Sylvester Nominee's email address: william.sylvester@addrex.net Reason for nominating the candidate: All - it has been my pleasure to work alongside Billy as he diligently worked through numerous difficult issues with the database & accountability working groups over the last half dozen years. I can say without reservation that he has the temperament and intellect to build a consensus driven Board to enable the RIPE NCC to navigate the upcoming challenges that come along with the growth of members and the pressing concerns of services to members. I wholeheartedly recommend Billy to be elected to serve the RIPE NCC members to the Executive Board.
