Hi all, To be very clear --* this is not an election*. While it's great to see the open and vocal support and we will certainly weigh this in decision-making, I want to make that clear. Discussion and providing rationale for your support for a given candidate (or otherwise) would be appreciated. To clarify as well -- we are also looking for more than one additional co-chair. Three is the number that seems healthy and productive to me, but I'm open to suggestions from the community. Thanks, Meredith On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 12:32 PM, Schaa, Tahar <tahar.schaa@cassini.de> wrote:

Hello again, dear friends,
First, thank you so much for the lively discussion during today's Coop-WG. I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm and care for this important process.
I have CCed all of the current candidates for co-chair here (I realize they are all also on the list, but as I hope many of you appreciate, I'm a fan of redundancy). To refresh your memory, these are:
- *Achilleas Kemos* -- from the European Commission's DGConnect. He was present today and gave an overview of his work and his interest during the working group. - *Collin Anderson* -- Network Researcher and Internet Policy enthusist. He was also present today, and provided an overview. - *Analina Aspis* -- Lawyer and Researcher at the Law Research Institute Ambrosio Gioja, specializing in ICT law. She was not present today, but you can read her overview posted in a previous Coop-WG thread - *Johan Helsingius* -- (tentative nominee, as above). I'm not sure of his background or interest, but I invite him to disclose this in an email here.
I invite those on this list to suggest other nominees, to ask questions and make comments to the current nominees, and to continue the lively discussion.
As I mentioned, *I will be receptive to suggestions and will work to distill the decisions of the community in a week's time*, disclosing such in an email to this list. If there are those here who feel strongly that we should extend the process beyond a week, please speak up here. I am sensitive to the need for discussion, and don't want to rush anything. That said, before the next meeting I need a co-chair. This is the responsible move on my part, to ensure I'm not a single point of failure in the case that I change jobs, have the flu during a meeting, etc..
Best,
Meredith

The outreach bit has proved problematic in the past. I remember a group trying to talk to a MEP. The relationships that are not obvious to outsiders are not always obvious to insiders either!
On the other hand I appreciated the work of NCC in drafting a formal response, effectively on behalf of the WG, to a Commission proposal.
We need to talk more about this.The potential is there.

there may be room for both here. The co-op WG has a mandate for outeach outside the existing community, but the chair function needs to understand what ripe/ripe ncc is and how it serves its community. This is not always obvious to outsiders (e.g. "ripe ncc is not the police", etc).
