Dear all, it gives me great pleasure to announce that we have chosen Sabrina Waschke to fill the newly created position of Registration Services Operations Manager. As such, Sabrina will be responsible of the day to day operations of Registrations Services, overseeing the quality of service. A big part of her tasks is to take care of the Registration Services staff. Sabrina will report directly to the Managing Director. Sabrina has already started in her new position effective of 1 June. Also, as of 1 June, Nurani Nimpuno has become the Internet Address Policy Manager. Her responsiblities are primarily to maintain, and develop RS related policies. Also a major part of Nurani's tasks will be to closely monitor the relevant mailing lists (notably lir-wg), and to pro-actively contribute where and when appropriate. Further, as a result of the discussions between the RIRs over the last months, Nurani will be responsible to co-ordinate policies with the other RIRs; this will enable a globally more consistent policy making process. Nurani will continue to report to the Managing Director. I'm looking forward to working together closely with Sabrina and Nurani. kind regards, Axel Pawlik
