Dear RIPE NCC member,

In compliance with the RIPE NCC Articles of Association (AoA), the RIPE NCC is calling for nominations to the RIPE NCC Executive Board.

There will be an election for two vacant seats at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 13-15 May 2015, which are for three-year terms.

One seat is to fill the place currently held by Dmitry Burkov, whose term expires in May 2015. A second seat is available following the membership's approval of a resolution to expand the Executive Board in October 2013.

The document outlining the RIPE NCC Executive Board functions and expectations is available: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/executive-board/ripe-ncc-executive-boa...

All those considering standing for election to the board are advised to read this information.

Nominations ----------- A nomination for the appointment of a member of the Executive Board requires the support of at least five members. You must be a RIPE NCC member and a registered LIR contact to nominate a candidate or support a nomination.
