Hello all, This is a reminder that you have one week left to nominate yourself to serve as a WG co-chair. As noted in detail below, you can nominate yourself by sending an email to opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net with a short bio and statement of why you are interested. Our call for presentations for the RIPE89 session is also still open. If you would like to give a talk in the session, also contact opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net. We are also happy to discuss and refine any ideas with you. Sasha On 3 Sep 2024, at 21:50, Martin Winter wrote:
It’s two months until the next fall RIPE meeting - and this means it’s time again for a Working Group Chair Selection.
To avoid the issues from the last meeting, we would like to clarify on how we want to do the selection this time and the requirements, selection process etc. There is some progress by RIPE to define a new common process for all the working groups, however, this is not ready yet and we thus announce the following:
Our working group has currently 3 chairs: - Martin Winter (Since Start of WG, RIPE 66) - Marcos Sanz (Since RIPE 84) - Sasha Romjin (Since RIPE 88)
Martin Winter is currently considering stepping down as a WG chair to make space for somebody new with fresh ideas. However, this will depend on getting candidates as well. Martin will decide after the new candidates are known, if he will either withdraw from further terms or stand as a candidate for re-election against the new candidates.
Criteria/Expectations of a WG chair: - You have attended multiple physical RIPE meetings before (and are familiar with how RIPE works) - You will be attending most RIPE meetings while serving as a chair in person - You will attend this Fall meeting session (Physical or Virtual)
For more details, see the Guide for New RIPE Working Group Chairs (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-765/) or the RIPE Working Group Chair e-learning course (https://academy.ripe.net/course/info.php?id=16).
If you are interested to serve as a WG chair:
Nomination period is until Sept 27, 2024, 23:59 UTC. Send an email to opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net to make us aware of your candidacy before this deadline. In the email, please include a short bio and statement why you are interested.
On Sep 28, we will then send an email with all candidates, their submitted bio and a summary of previous RIPE attendance of each candidate to the list and open a discussion for feedback, statement of support for specific candidates and any other feedback in regards to them.
In parallel, the working group chairs will run interviews and discussions with all the candidates and we require the candidates to make time for these calls and get back to us in a timely manner to email requests during this month. The time is short and we need to be prepared before the meeting!
Please be aware, these are not elections, but selections. The ultimate decision is by the remaining WG chairs as all the chairs need to work together.
