Colleagues,
As you're all aware Alireza stepped down as Co-Chair at the end of his term at RIPE 83. As nobody put themselves forward for the third position at that time it was not filled, which is fine.
Since then a community member contacted Tobias and I, expressing an interest in helping to Chair the WG. They were rather engaged with important life matters last autumn and did not have the chance to put themselves forward at that point.
What we are now proposing is that this person is introduced to the WG as a potential Co-Chair (likely with a term technically starting at RIPE 83) and the WG can either accept them or not. This is your choice, of course.
So, as a first stage, does any object to this happening "out of cycle"? I'm very happy to say that silence indicates consent here, but if you have any objections then please state them here or to aa-wg-chairs@ripe.net before 17:00 CET on Wednesday 26th January.
If that is all good, we'll proceed with the next phase.
Thank you all,
Brian
Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG
