Dear colleagues, Due to how terms are aligned and their duration limited we go through a chair selection at the autumn RIPE meeting every year. In the past three years an incumbent chair has always been re-selected unopposed. I've been a co-chair of the DNS working group since succeeding Peter Koch at RIPE 71 in 2015. Having now served two terms I'm now ineligible for nomination in the upcoming selection. Someone new must be nominated and selected this time! Joao sent a call for nominations to the list yesterday. It describes the process and the job description, selection process and the timeline. These days the dns wg doesn't do a lot in the way of work in terms of policy development, and the mail list isn't as active as it once was, but the meetings continue to be well attended and blessed with excellent content and engaged participation. The job of a co-chair then is mostly around the organizing of an agenda for meetings. Please consider volunteering! I'm very happy to talk in email, or with voices, with anyone considering this who'd like to know more. Don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thanks and very kind regards, dave
