As stated in the WG session of RIPE81, we are inviting anyone who is interested in being a co-chair of the WG to contact me and/or Achilleas (preferably at cooperation-wg-chairs@ripe.net). We think it would be useful to have a third co-chair, and that also helps if one (or both) of us current chairs have to step down. If there are multiple people interested in being co-chairs, we will start a proper election procedure, with both me and Achilleas up for re-election - we might do that anyway, as good practice.

For clarity, here is the official Cooperation WG Chair Selection Process: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/coop/cooperation-wg-chair... "The RIPE Coop WG aims for multiple Chairs, with two or three Chairs, ideally from differing sectors, being ideal. The process for selecting a new chair is as follows: 1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at least every three years, or whenever needed. 2. Interested parties have two weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list, or directly to the Chair/s. 3. After two weeks, the Chair/s ensure that all candidates are announced on the mailing list and issue a call for discussion. 4. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. 5. Two weeks after the call for discussion, the Chair/s declare a decision, based on mailing list discussion, as they would do for a policy proposal." Thus, as we have posted the call on Monday, November 30, it means interested parties have until end of the day (CET) on Monday, December 14 to make their interest known. A few people have already been in touch, but more interest is definitely welcome! Julf & Achilleas
