Dear DB-WG Members
As agreed during DB-WG session at RIPE69 Meeting in London on 06.11.2014, the WG Chair Selection procedure is executed at yearly intervals. This means that it is about time to run it this year.
This is the call for interested parties. Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known on this mailing list. All members of the community are encourage to make a discussion and express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates.
After two weeks the chairs will declare consensus.
Since there is a limit of 3 co-chairs, if at the end of the discussion phase there will be more than 3 proposed co-chairs then a call will be made for any of the candidates to withdraw.
If there still will be more than 3 candidates then names will be put into a hat and the first three names drawn from the hat will take on the role of chairs for the next 12 months.
As you may know, Job Snijders decided at the RIPE73, last week, to step down. Moreover, Nigel Titley declare that when a new chair is found, he would like to step down as well. This means, that the only reason Nigel is staying on, is not to leave the WG with only one chair.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my interest in being co-chair for another term.
All the best, Piotr
