FYI The message below from the web services team is a little confusing because the underlying problem is the RIPE Forum thing is read-only. Write access to the Forum -- ie posting to WG lists -- stopped a while ago because it was being misused to send spam. Not that this matters much in the context of what Salam was trying to say. The key point here is Salam supports Constanze’s bid for WG co-chair.
