Well it would be helpful to know who is actually in this group to start with Also I'd be wary of setting restrictions on who should / shouldn't be chair / co-chair, as participation levels in general are usually pretty low .. -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting & Colocation, Brand Protection http://www.blacknight.com/ http://blog.blacknight.com/ http://mneylon.tel/ Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Locall: 1850 929 929 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Fax. +353 (0) 1 4811 763 Twitter: http://twitter.com/mneylon ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845 ________________________________________ From: cooperation-wg-bounces@ripe.net [cooperation-wg-bounces@ripe.net] on behalf of Roland Perry [roland@perry.co.uk] Sent: 29 May 2013 15:18 To: cooperation-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: [cooperation-wg] Resignation as co-chair of he cooperation wg In message <42C4053A-41B4-4CEA-B03A-EBA94A36729F@frobbit.se>, at 09:42:59 on Tue, 28 May 2013, Patrik Fältström <patrik@frobbit.se> remarked:
As some of you know I have in my move of jobs from Cisco to Netnod
And Maria also moved jobs, so now's the time for the RIPE community to decide if this government/industry WG should be recruiting new talent. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a criticism of Maria's move, nor her personal capabilities, but I think the WG should have a co-chair who is still on the government (ministry/regulator) side of the fence. People move jobs, they change their responsibilities; we should recognise that. -- Roland Perry

FWIW, I have not just run away...I have talked with a few people in or connected to governments but so far I have not managed to get anyone really interested in being a co-chair. So, we definitely need one new person replacing me, and I agree getting one working for a government or very very close to one, would be preferred. But I agree with Michele, that having "rules" would not be good. We should evaluate people on whether we think they would be good co-chairs. Patrik

To be fair, I doubt Roland was suggesting that. IMO he's right: it would be best if the vacancy was filled by someone who is on the government side of the fence. That's of course for the WG to decide. And it's no reflection on Maria or her new job either. Since this WG's mostly about co-operation with goverment, someone who is from the government side would be an ideal choice to complement Maria's experience and excellent range of contacts. We are trying to bring these people into RIPE and facilitate dialogue. A new co-chair who isn't up to speed on how government/regulators work would probably not help that approach.
