The call for Co-Chair candidates
by Raymond Jetten 14 Oct '26

14 Oct '26

Dear IPv6 Working Group. On 27 August 2026 we posted a call for co-chair candidates on this list. On October 5 we sent a reminder to the list. Last Friday 9 October was the last day anyone could react or ask questions about this. In the past we have had a few reactions, mostly from people feeling sorry, or candidates that later withdrew their candidacy. This time it was no different, no one even asked information, nor did apply. Christian has stated he wants to continue, and since there are no other applicants, we strongly suggest supporting this. Christian has done an excellent job in all fields of the co-chair work in our working group, and we would be very happy to continue with him. Rgds, Wolfgang and Ray For Internal Use Only
