What role does the database play in your professional work?
is this repeated question trying to elicit conflict of interest?
and could the current co-chairs also answer it? :)
Leadership whom clearly have a stake in the well-being of the database would have my preference.
For 14 years the RIPE Database has been 100% of my professional life. I don't think there is any doubt that I am concerned about the well being of the RIPE Database.
Example: people that work for orgs that depend on the database for their routing security posture have one up on people who don't even work for a LIR and as such don't face daily operational reality.
Last meeting Nigel stated that he wants to step down because he doesn't do actually work with the database any longer. With new chairs I'd like to prevent such alienation from the get-go.
Although I don't currently work with the database at the moment, my vast knowledge and experience of the database from many angles will be a good compliment to those who do work with it. cheers denis
Kind regards,
