Dear RIPE participants,
Next year, a nominations committee (NomCom) will select two people to
fill the positions of RIPE Chair and Vice Chair, with help from the
wider community. As chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom, I invite you to
nominate candidates for these positions.
As members of the RIPE community, you will have some idea of what the
RIPE Chair is responsible for and what kind of person you would like to
see in this role - and the revived Vice Chair role. Please think about
suitable candidates, talk with them, discuss this with your peers, and
nominate people who will have the support of the community.
You may nominate any member of the RIPE community for either position.
Self-nominations are also permitted. NomCom members are not eligible to
be considered.
You might also consider volunteering for the NomCom. I have made a
separate call for this, which you can find on the ripe mailing list.
Send your nominations to <nominati...@ripe-nomcom.org> and include a
description of the skills or expertise that make your candidate a
desirable choice. Please also include a working email address or
telephone number for the nominee and indicate whether they are aware of
your nomination.
The Nomcom will also be interested in your opinion about the performance
of the incumbent, Hans Petter Holen.
The deadline for all nominations is Sunday, 15 December 2019.
You can find more information in the relevant RIPE Documents:

I am happy to answer any further questions you may have.
Daniel Karrenberg
Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom
