I am failing to understand what I sense is questioning of why we are providing input and even if we should provide input.
I should clarify - I am not saying you are questioning the input, but some of the discussion on the list certainly reads like it. Apologies if this could be read to mean otherwise.

We are in hallway mode again.
I’m rather exhausted at the end of an intensive week, trying to catch up on my day job and trying to recover from an intense RIPE meeting. (Which was excellent btw. I’m am hugely impressed with what you managed to pull off, the RIPE NCC. Well done to the whole team!) So I’m afraid I don’t have any more energy to pour into this discussion today. Mailing lists are such a bad medium and virtual meetings don’t provide room for those informal, bridging discussions, which (at least for me) help understanding the other party’ perspective. (Perhaps others are better at mailing list discussions, but I find them very difficult to engage in in a good way, especially whilst also doing my day job.) But before I leave this discussion before the weekend, I just want to say that I am acutely aware of how uncomfortable this discussion probably is to the four nominees. I sincerely hope that concerns voiced about a process, is not interpreted as veiled criticism of the candidates produced by that process. So, I think it’s worth repeating from my side, that my concerns are in no way with the competence of the four nominees involved. IMO, the candidates are all competent people of good standing in this community, for whom I have nothing but respect for. I know a few people have asked “ok so now what?”. There have been a few suggestions, but we are clearly not in agreement there yet. And I also think it is valuable to conclude the discussion about the problem statement, before moving into solution space. But that is my view. I know others want to move quicker. I am also highly conscious of the fact that there is such a small amount of people active in many of our discussions. Sure, you can always say that others can speak up if they want to. But if I take up that spot in the queue to the microphone, other people won’t stand up and share their view. So I take this opportunity to step back and I encourage others in this community to voice their opinon. TGIF, Nurani
