Dear all, The deadline for volunteers/nominations has passed and I am very pleased to announce that we received a single self-nomination: Moritz Müller applying for a second term as co-chair. We will now collect expressions of support (or opposition) from the mailing-list, until Monday 20 May 2024, and will announce the results on Wednesday 22 May 2024 during the DNS working group session at the RIPE 88. Find below Moritz' motivation to apply for a second term: ### I'd like to volunteer for a second term as RIPE DNS-WG co-chair. In my last term, I've helped organizing (hopefully) interesting and diverse working-group meetings and I'd like to continue doing this for another 3 years. For the next term, I'd like to go on organizing meetings that are relevant not only for DNS experts but also for the broader RIPE community with interest in the DNS. ### Timeline * Monday, 20 May 2024 Deadline for showing support for candidates/volunteers on the mail list * Wednesday, 22 May 2024 DNS WG session at RIPE 88 References The RIPE working group chair job description is included in ripe-692: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692 The DNS working group chair selection process is documented here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/dns/dns-wg-chair-selection-process We have 3 co-chairs so the term is 3 years.
