Call for RIPE IoT Working Group Chair

In accordance with the chair selection process we announce that the term of one of our co-chairs (Peter Steinhäuser) will expire at the upcoming RIPE 88 Meeting. We would like to invite volunteers, or nominations for someone to become a co-chair of the IoT working group.

Anyone may volunteer, and anyone may be nominated by someone else (we will check with the person for acceptance).

To do this, please send a mail to <peter.wehrle AT t-online.de> before 30^th April 2024. Please DO NOT send your volunteer/nomination directly to the IoT WG mailing list.

It would be helpful for candidates to give some words as to why they think they ought to be a co-chair, what new ideas, or improvements they might bring, and so on.

I will publish the list of volunteers, along with anything the volunteers wish to include with their nomination, to this mailing list no later than 4^th May 2024. Discussion and support (or

opposition) for each candidate can then be offered on the list.

Please feel free to reach out to any of the chairs directly, to us as a group at iot-wg-chairs AT ripe.net, or discuss this or any other any relevant topic on this mailing list.

Kind regards,

Peter Wehrle

IoT co-chair
