Dear colleagues, Following up on the Connect WG Chair Selection Process discussed at RIPE 87 <https://ripe87.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/107-connect-wg-ripe-correct_v02.pdf>, here is a formal call for nominations for RIPE Connect WG co-chairs. Please send your nomination (you can also nominate others) on the Working Group mailing list. A few words about your motivation and any ideas you might have for the future of the WG would be greatly appreciated. As per the agreed selection process in place: - Interested parties have two weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list, or directly to the Chair/s. (Nomination deadline: May 3rd) - After these two weeks (May 3rd), the Chair/s ensure that all candidates are announced on the mailing list and issue a call for discussion. - WG members express their approval, or otherwise, of the presented candidates. - Two weeks after the call for discussion (May 17th), the Chair/s declare a decision, based on mailing list discussion, as they would do for a policy proposal. The new Connect WG chairs will be introduced at the next Connect Working Group session, at RIPE 88, on May 23rd.
