I am happy to support all of the candidates, though I would specifically like Piotr to remain a WG Chair to provide continuity Ian -----Original Message----- From: db-wg [mailto:db-wg-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Nigel Titley Sent: 16 November 2016 11:54 To: db-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: [db-wg] WG Chairs Selection Dear WG We have reached the end of the proposal phase of the WG Chair selection process and have 4 candidates (in alphabetical order of surname) David Hilario Piotr Strzyżewski William Sylvester Denis Walker Since Piotr is standing again it has been deemed better if he stands back from the process at this point and hands over to me. We are looking for three chairs and I would now invite expressions of support (or otherwise) for the four candidates above. If you have already expressed support then there is no need to do so again. Remember we do not count votes, we are looking for the same sort of consensus that we are looking for when considering a policy proposal. At the end of two weeks from this announcement we will close the discussion and move on to the next phase. As a reminder, if we still have more than 3 candidates at that stage I will invite one or more of the candidates to consider withdrawing their self nomination. If none are willing to do so then we will draw names out of a hat until we have filled the three co-chair positions.
