Good morning,
at the end of the previous RIPE Meeting I made a call for you to
nominate persons for RIPE Chair and Vice Chair. The deadline was
yesterday and we have received a total of 2 (two) nominations, one for
chair and one for vice chair. While this would make the task of the
committee an easy one ;-), it has also been brought to my attention that
the call was not very widely known. Many people seem to have missed it
in all the excitement of the Rotterdam meeting. Even the current RIPE
chair, Hans Petter, missed it.
While working on the time-line for the NomCom I also realised that there
is no reason to set such a short deadline. ripe-728 does not prescribe
this either. ripe-728 also calls for pragmatism in a situation like
this. Therefore I now set a new deadline: March 29th 23:59 UTC. This
will also allow for the NomCom itself to canvass for Nominations. In the
meantime I will work to give this call some more publicity.

Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom

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:
ripe-714: A brief description of the RIPE Chair’s role.
ripe-727: Information about the selection process.
ripe-728: Detailed information about the NomCom
I am happy to answer any further questions you may have.
Daniel Karrenberg
Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom
