Hello Martin, On behalf of the RIPE NCC I would like to thank you for your contribution in setting up this RIPE WG. Its always a pleasure to work with you and I am sure we'll see each other out and about. Cheers, Paul Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk wrote:

Hi all,

I am conscious that as co-chair of the cooperation working group I have been more conspicuous by my absence than by my contribution to the work of the group.

With Maria from government and Patrik from industry the group is in good hands and I am unlikely to be able to contribute anything additional or devote the necessary time to this work.

So I believe I should step down from a role I am sorry to say I never properly stood up to. And wish you well with your two exceptionally competent remaining co-chairs.

Best wishes

Martin Boyle
