Candidates for the open co-chair position at the DNS WG
Dear all, I am glad to share with you that we have 3 candidates for the co-chair position that will become vacant soon, at RIPE 87. The DNS WG co-chairs hereby solicit expressions of support for your favourite candidate(s) on this mailing list. We will collect all input from the WG up to Monday 27th November (the first day of the RIPE Meeting) and announce the results during the DNS WG session at RIPE 87. The 3 candidates, with their respective platforms, are, I no particular order: ======================================================================== Doris Houser, nominated by Willem Toroop: -----------------
I would like to propose Doris Hauser as a candidate for the new DNS Working group co-chair.
Doris (aka Dodo) is an amazing young lady working at nic.at <http://nic.at/>. Doris and I (Willem) were team-mates in the Port 53 Hackathon during the last RIPE 87 in Rotterdam, which was a constructive and inspiring experience. It would be a joy for me and Moritz, and I am sure also for the working group as a whole, to have Doris as the new DNS Working group co-chair. ========================================================================
David Knight ----------------- Dear colleagues, I would like to volunteer to be a co-chair of the RIPE DNS Working Group. I’ve done it before, enjoyed doing it and think I did a reasonable job. My employer supports the time and travel commitment, I’ve attended every meeting in the last 5 years. Thanks for your consideration, Dave ======================================================================== Matthijs Mekking ---------------------- Hi chairs, I would like to volunteer for co-chairing the RIPE DNS working group. It was in the year 2007 that DNS crossed my path. I applied for a job at NLnet Labs to continue my research on IPv6. I was accepted, but I was also tasked with the maintenance of NSD. Promptly, IPv6 was pushed to the background. I learned that NSD is DNS spelled incorrectly. From there, things escalated quickly. I started writing DNS software, researching DNS projects, and developing DNS standards. The protocol took hold of me. I also started participating in IETF, OARC, and RIPE meetings. I learned a lot by attending these gatherings. These meetings are an important part of our job. Here we bring people together, share our experiences, so we can help each other, and improve the technology that we both love and hate. The Covid years made me realize more than ever how vital these meetings are, and I would be happy to contribute to them. For over 15 years I have been working on DNS and DNSSEC. I hope my broad experience can help the existing chairs (who are doing an excellent job already) keeping the DNS working group relevant for the upcoming years. Best regards, Matthijs Mekking ======================================================================== Regards Joao Damas for the DNS WG chairs

Hi Peter, good point! ;) So here are my two cents: I've been working for nic.at for over 4 years now. I'm a linux systems engineer and networker and my main task is to run our RcodeZero DNS anycast product. So I have set up lots of DNS servers with different name server software (powerdns, nsd, bind, knot, unbound), tried to optimize BGP routing for our anycast prefixes and managed to troubleshoot and debug lots of weird dns-related issues :) Willem of course asked me before nominating me, so I am fine with candidating for the co-chair position.

I know both Dave and Matthijs very well, and it's very clear to me that they would do an excellent job. However. Although I do not know Doris aka Dodo at all, I have to say that the future of this group (as with so many others) depends on having a healthy pipeline of new faces and fresh perspectives. Entertaining as it often is to be part of the crowd of old men shaking our fists at the sky and shouting incoherently (WHAT'S THAT JIM, RCODES, ZONE TRANSFERS, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT RCODES) the future would be far better served in my opinion if we would all just stay in the bar and let a more competent generation take over the decision-making and getting real work done. I very much hope that more people who know Doris aka Dodo speak up and point the way to a better future, and also that next round we have yet more fresh faces that I don't know, because that to me is what success looks like.

I echo Joe’s sentiments, and while I don’t know Doris, I do know Willem and do trust his judgement. Manu

I do know Dodo, and I think she’ll do a great job! dave
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it, but I also prefer the DNS chairs to become a more diverse group. I think Dodo is a good fit and she will do great as chair, and I would be happy if she was selected. Best regards, Matthijs On 11/15/23 14:20, Joe Abley wrote:

+1 for Dodo! /Jerry
