Hi David,

My personal circumstances have changed in such a way that I most recently did not spent as much time and effort for the ipv6 working group as it deserves. At the same time, I have served the working group for over 15 years and it would certainly not be unreasonable to think that it is good for the working group to change direction.

Considering the above, I have decided to resign as co-chair of the ipv6 working group. I hope that this change will give a chance to a new generation of RIPE participants to play a role as a chairperson of a working group and as a participant in the RIPE working group chair collective.

Thank you for all the good work you have done for RIPE and the IPv6 WG. Sander

Dear David, Unfortunate that you could not join us here in Warsaw for a more personal farewell, I hope we still get a chance to do that at one of our upcoming meetings. Let me thank you for all your hard work you have done for this working group and the RIPE community in general. It has always been a pleasure working with you, both in my role as co-chair of this group as well as friends and colleagues over the past 15 years. Hope to see you again at our meetings and if course this mailing list. For the working group: Shane and I have been discussing this and the topic of filling this vacancy will be part of the agenda of our working group session, which will take place this Thursday. Being short notice, there will be no final decision made during this RIPE Meeting and this will be handled on the mailing list, allowing for the whole community to comment and participate in this process. Thanks, Marco Hogewoning co-chair of the RIPE IPv6 working group On 14 May 2014, at 08:02, David Kessens <david.kessens@gmail.com> wrote:
