Colleagues, Both Marcus' & Tobias' 3 year terms as AA-WG Co-Chairs will come to an end at RIPE 89. As per our current procedure this email is the start of the selection process for up to two Co-Chair positions for the WG and I would like to invite nominations (self- or otherwise) before 17:00 CEST on Thursday 17th October. More information on the process can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/anti-abuse/anti-abuse-wg-chair-s... Ideally Co-Chairs will be chosen by consensus within the WG, but if this cannot be managed, a vote will take place at RIPE 89. As per the AA-WG process, we will not be announcing the names of any nominees until the nomination period is over. Once we announce the nominees there will be time for discussion, expressions of support etc. on the mailing list ahead of RIPE 89. The outcome of the process will be announced during the AA-WG session on Tuesday 29th October between 16:00 - 17:30 CET. You can find out more about the role of WG Co-Chairs at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692 If you have any questions, or nominations, please do not hesitate to contact me.
