Colleagues, We will soon be issuing a draft agenda for the Anti-Abuse WG session at RIPE 71 and one of the items will concern the WG Chairs. As per the circulated procedures, our second extant WG Chair, Tobias Knecht, will be standing down and the meeting will then have the opportunity to choose a second chair for the working group. This mail should be taken as a call for candidates. If you are interested, please mail the mailing list to let us all know. You do not need to be physically present at RIPE71 in order to put yourself forward. Any expressions of interest should be sent to the list before Thursday 12th November. The working group session will take place at 14:00 EET on Thursday 19th November. Tobias has stated that he is interested in continuing as a co-chair of the working group. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Brian Co-Chair, RIPE Anti-Abuse WG
