by Ondřej Filip 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jan Žorž as the Chair of the RIPE Nominating Committee 2025. This decision is also documented in the minutes of the 177th RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting, which will be published by the RIPE NCC. The RIPE Nominating Committee 2025 will be responsible for the process of selecting the RIPE Chair and Vice Chair, as the five-year terms held by Mirjam Kühne and Niall O'Reilly will come to an end by RIPE 91, taking place in Autumn 2025. The RIPE Chair selection process is documented in ripe-787 [1]. As NomCom Chair, Jan will be responsible for ensuring that the nominating committee completes its assigned duties and performs in the best interests of the RIPE community, as described in ripe-788, the document outlining the composition, roles and responsibilities of the RIPE Nominating Committee [2]. Jan is a familiar face in the RIPE community, and I am confident that the 2025 process is in a safe pair of hands. This is a task that requires a considerable time commitment, and I thank Jan for volunteering to steer this important community process. The Chair of the 2020 NomCom, Daniel Karrenberg, will serve as an advisor to the current committee. Kind regards, Ondřej Filip RIPE NCC Executive Board Chair [1] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-787/ [2] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-788/
