Paolo Moroni sent me and his co-chair the following message during the last RIPE meeting on May 23rd: «After three years of serving as co-chair of the Routing working group, I have decided not to continue with this activity and step down as from now.» As We have not been able to establish contact with Ignas Bagondas for a while, I have appointed two interim chairs Job Snijders and Rob Evans to arrange the WG session at the upcoming RIPE meeting. The wg need to replace Paolo with a new co-chair. If you are interested in serving as co-chair of the routing-wg please send a message to the list with a motivation statement and a short bio, Hans Petter Holen RIPE Chair https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/routing/routing-wg-chair-selection-... The RIPE Routing Working Group should attempt to maintain two Chairpersons whenever possible. As a large part of the work of the Chairpersons is in creating an agenda for the Working Group meetings at RIPE meetings, these are generally appointed by consensus of those present at a Working Group meeting. Each of the Chairpersons may periodically offer to stand down to allow new candidates to stand in their place. The Chairperson that wishes to stand down should announce that to the Working Group's mailing list two weeks before the meeting. Nominations for Chairpersons may be accepted up to the day before the Working Group's meeting. -- -- Hans Petter Holen Mobile +47 45 06 60 54 | hph@oslo.net | http://hph.oslo.net
