Dear Routing working group, As agreed during the RIPE88 Meeting I will step down as co-chair and were going to try to find a suitable new co-chair to join Ben and Ignas. If you are interested, know how RIPE working groups and the community operates or are willing to learn, think you have suitable knowledge about routing, routing security and other interconnection related subjects we ask you to contact routing-wg-chairs@ripe.net - NOT this mailing list. After two weeks from now well publish the list of candidates (if any) and issue a call for discussion. Candidates who do announce their interest on this mailinglist or somewhere else in public before the list is announced will not be considered. The actual chair selection will be done during RIPE89 in Prague, both in-room and online using a MeetEcho poll or a similar method. Kind regards, Paul Hoogsteder On behalf of the Routing WG chairs
