Congratulations to both Mirjam and Niall.. both who have been present since the start of my Internet industry career.. Mirjam who conducted the first RIPE training course I attended all those years ago while I was dewy eyed in this industry.. and Niall who refused my application of melani.ie which I wanted for my wife back when the rules were much stricter and then exclaimed, “Oh, you are *that* Denesh!” when we finally met at a RIPE meeting. :-) Thank you also to Filiz and Nigel for standing and making it a tough job for the NomCom to select from an excellent pool of candidates. Warmest Regards Denesh

Hi Andy, > The Nomcom, chaired by the founder of the RIPE NCC has appointed a RIPE NCC > staffer as the community Chair. This had to be done on an emergency basis > because the outgoing Chair was now MD of the RIPE NCC. The RIPE NCC is full of people who care deeply about our community and are part of it. It's not surprising that there is overlap. That you are trying to make this look like a conspiracy is very unbefitting of this community. I'm not even going to go into the misrepresentations you made above. That there are people who have made their passion their professional life only shows their dedication. Cheers, Sander
Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Chairs Selected
Thank you, Alex. We are working on a transition plan with Hans Petter and an agreement with the Executive Board that will maintain the independence of the RIPE Chair. We expect to have all the details sorted in the next few weeks.

Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Chairs Selected
Daniel, NomCom, Thank you for giving us an excellent chair and vice chair! And thank you for bringing this to closure despite all difficulties. Kudos to you for hard work and good results. Mirjam, Niall, My warmest congratulations, first and foremost to you, but also to all of us for having you. :-) Filiz, Nigel, Thank you very much for standing as candidates, and I know that you would do the job equally well. It cannot have been an easy choice for the NomCom, and I cannot really see any other selection criteria than a dice in this case. I would have liked to have all four of you! :-) Cheers, /Liman ripe-list@ripe.net 2020-07-02 12:54 [+0200]: > Dear colleagues, > The RIPE 2020 NomCom has selected Mirjam Kühne as RIPE Chair and Niall > O'Reilly as RIPE Vice Chair.

Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Chairs Selected
Dear colleagues, We both are delighted and honoured to have been chosen as the new RIPE Chair and Vice-Chair. We are eager to serve the RIPE Community and ready to listen to what the Community has to tell us. We want to start by acknowledging the effort and engagement of all who have worked to bring about this outcome. Many thanks to the RIPE NomCom and to the RIPE NCC Executive Board for carrying out this selection process for the first time in the history of the RIPE community. Many thanks to the community and to everyone who provided feedback. We feel honoured by the confidence you put in us and accept the challenge. We will do our best to meet your expectations. And many thanks to Hans Petter Holen who guided the community since RIPE 68 when he had the RIPE Chair role handed over to him by Rob Blokzijl who chaired the RIPE community since RIPE 1 in 1989. It will be hard to step into the shoes of those two chairs. Obviously we cannot do this without all of you and we will be seeking your input and guidance. We salute and draw inspiration from the commitment to service shown by Filiz Yilmaz and Nigel Titley in standing as nominees for the positions to which we have now been chosen. We are currently in discussion with Hans Petter about the transition to the new RIPE Chair team, and expect that the formal handover date will be during August. In the meantime, we shall be reading ourselves into our new rôles. We have been carefully following the discussion about the relationship between the RIPE NCC and RIPE and the rôle which RIPE NCC staff can and should play within the RIPE community; one of our early priorities will be to start a review of these relationships. We expect to have more to say about our other plans shortly. We are looking forward to working with all of you. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne and Niall O’Reilly signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [ripe-list] RIPE Chairs Selected
I would like to congratulate Mirjam Kühne and Niall O’Reilly on their selection as our new RIPE Chair and Vice-Chair. Both Mirjam and Niall have a long history within RIPE; they are experienced chairs, they understand consensus, and they share the community's expectations in terms of transparency and openness. I am sure they will continue to serve the community well in their new roles. After Rob Blokzijl passed the torch to me in 2014, this is the first time we have selected our RIPE Chair (and now Vice-Chair) as a community. I want to thank everyone who participated in this process - by standing as nominees, volunteering to serve on the NomCom, providing feedback, or by helping to establish the process itself. I do want to acknowledge that concerns were raised quite late in the process about the potential for capture or influence by the RIPE NCC. However, I hope you will agree that the NomCom has chosen some good people here. It is worth remembering that we operate on “rough consensus”, which means that not everyone will fully agree with everything. That being the case, we have plenty of time to consider further improvements to the process before it starts again ahead of RIPE 91. There is also an opportunity to work on improving the process for selecting working group chairs and the community’s code of conduct, so I would like to encourage you to volunteer for these efforts under the guidance of our new leadership. So what happens next? I am eager to hand over my RIPE Chair responsibilities. Mirjam and Niall will need time to fit their new RIPE responsibilities alongside their existing ones. I don't expect this will take too long, and I intend to exit the role pass onhand overam committed to hand over the torch as soon as possible. I am happy that I no longer have to occupy both the RIPE Chair and RIPE NCC Managing Director roles. As the Managing Director, I am fully committed to giving the new leadership and the RIPE Community the support needed, just as my predecessors have supported me and my predecessor Rob Blokzijl. In the meantime, I hope you will join me in wishing our new RIPE Chair and Vice-Chair the very best... and with my RIPE NCC Managing Director's hat on, I would also like to thank the outgoing RIPE Chair for his contribution over the past six years.

[ripe-list] RIPE Chairs Selected
Dear colleagues, The RIPE 2020 NomCom has selected Mirjam Kühne as RIPE Chair and Niall O'Reilly as RIPE Vice Chair. After interviewing all nominees, hearing substantial input from the community and a thorough discussion during three selection meetings all voting members voted to select Mirjam as Chair and eight out of ten voting members voted to select Niall as Vice Chair. The selection was subsequently supported unanimously by all members of the committee. We closely followed the process spelled out in ripe-727 and ripe-728. We regularly paused to confirm that the whole committee was comfortable with the process and its progress. We were able to choose from a set of nominees who are all very capable and well respected in the community. We expect that the community would support any of them as their Chair. Our selection is in no way a negative statement about the nominees we did not select. We selected Mirjam because the input from the community clearly favoured her. She is very widely regarded as someone who listens carefully to everyone and who helps the community to find consensus and move forward. We selected Niall because of the positive input we received about his track record with the community. Mirjam and Niall convinced us that they would work well as a team and complement each other. The RIPE NCC board has confirmed the candidates in accordance with the process set out in ripe-727. The original time line called for a transition from Hans Petter to Mirjam and Niall during RIPE 81 in October. Hans Petter has since resigned as RIPE Chair because he accepted to be the new managing director of the RIPE NCC; he is currently also serving as RIPE Chair ad-interim. In this situation it makes little sense to stick to the original time line. Therefore we suggest that the outgoing and incoming Chairs arrange the transition among themselves as soon as practicable. We plan to publish the NomCom report about this first run of the selection process in September before our term ends at RIPE 81. We expect to make suggestions for improving the process and look forward to the community discussing and deciding the process for the next iteration. We thank everyone who supported the NomCom, especially all nominees and the many members of the community who made time to give us their input. Finally we call on the whole community to welcome and support Mirjam and Niall in their new roles! Daniel Karrenberg - Chair - RIPE 2020 Nomcom
