Dear RIPE community, The RIPE 2025 NomCom will select two persons for the roles of RIPE Chair and RIPE Vice Chair. We have five nominees who are well known to the community. They are, in the order of their nomination: Ferghas McKay, Mirjam Kühne, Olena Kushnir, Anna Wilson and Rob Evans. https://ripenomcom.org/ripe-chair-vice-chair-nominees/ Note that some of them have been nominated for Chair or Vice Chair specifically. We have set out the plans for collecting input from the community. Here is a quick outlook about what the NomCom will do between now and the RIPE meeting, during the meeting and after: Before RIPE 90 During the coming two weeks the NomCom will send some questions to the nominees and prepare for the RIPE meeting. We want to hear input from the community at between now and the end of the RIPE meeting. This is your chance to influence our selection. The best way to reach the whole committee is by e-mail via nomcom at ripenomcom.org. If you prefer you can also contact individual members of the NomCom; you can find them and their mail addresses here. Of course we will treat all input confidentially. To that end we have even set up a dedicated server, so that we can erase the electronic traces of our work as well as possible once we are done. We will also give the nominees the opportunity to publish posts on the NomCom blog. During RIPE 90 We will have an office and hold office hours during all lunch breaks. This is your opportunity to speak in person to the committee or arrange for separate meetings with committee members. We will also roam the hallways and be on hand during the community plenary session. Individual meeting slots will be allocated first-come first served. Mail contact at ripenomcom.org for an appointment. After RIPE 90 We will schedule interviews with the nominees and then make our selection during the following weeks. We will regularly report on our progress on this mailing list and the NomCom blog. After we have made our selection and the Executive Board of the RIPE NCC has confirmed that we properly followed the process set by the community, we will announce the new RIPE Chair and Vice Chair. Then our work will be done. During RIPE91 The new chairs will take over during RIPE91. Jan Žorž Chair RIPE 2025 NomCom
