Hi Markus,
Thank you Brian for the introduction and thank you all for supporting Brian's "out of cycle" proposal.
My name is Markus de BrĂ¼n and I am a computer scientist working for the Federal Office for Information Security in Germany (better known as BSI). BSI is home of the national CERT and one of the main distributors of abuse reports in Germany. Though I am not part of the CERT itself, my job involves establishing contacts to internet operators and discussing current topics of interest. This - from time to time - includes discussions on abuse handling, e.g. how ISPs relay our abuse reports to their customers. Some of you may know me or at least have seen me at a RIPE meeting of which I attended most since RIPE62.
If you as a working group do not have any objections, I would be happy to support Brian and Tobias.
I have no objection at all :) I'm happy to see people volunteering to share the workload of chairs! Cheers, Sander
