Dear RIPE Participant,
RIPE will choose its next chair and a vice chair by way of a nominations
committee. Ten volunteers, randomly selected from the community, will
make that choice with the help of the whole community. These ten people
plus a number of non-voting liaisons and advisors will form the NomCom.
The NomCom will start to work around January 2020 and make its selection
soon after the next RIPE meeting in May of that year. The job of the
NomCom is to select people who have what it takes and also have the
support of the community.
As chair of the 2019-2020 Nomcom, my job is to organise the work and
help the volunteers with making their choice. Therefore I call on you to
volunteer. Ideally we are looking for about 100 volunteers representing
a broad range of RIPE participants. Ten of those people will be randomly
selected to serve on the NomCom. To qualify for serving as a voting
volunteer you have to have attended three of the five most recent RIPE
meetings up to the meeting taking place this week in Rotterdam.
For details about the procedures and duties of the NomCom you may refer
to documents ripe-727 and ripe-728.
The deadline for volunteering is Sunday November 10th 2019.
The only way to volunteer is by using the form at
