[address-policy-wg] WG chair change

Dear AP WG,

as announced, my co-chairs of amazingly many years, Sander Steffann, will
be stepping down as a WG chair at the next RIPE meeting.

Our WG chair selection policy is described here:

https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selection-process

according to this, we'll spend a few minutes at the next APWG session
in Marseilles to select a new co-chair.

To avoid lengthy rounds of introduction at the meeting, I want to ask
for volunteers here on the list - please step forward if you want to 
take up this work, and introduce yourself on why you think you're a
good candidate and what your plans for the WG are for the next two years
(or longer).

A short recap of the WG chairs duties:

 - chair the APWG session at the RIPE meetings
   (so generally it is expected that both co-chairs can attend most 
    RIPE meetings and feel halfway confident talking on stage and
    moderate a discussion)

 - read - and if necessary, moderate - the APWG mailing list
   (thus, fluency in written English is necessary, and while discussions
    are going on, some amount time spent at least every few days)

 - help policy proposers bring their policy proposal through the PDP
   (answering questions, helping with the wording of proposed text,
    spending some time discussing 'next steps' for a proposal)

 - judge consensus at the end of discussion and review phases according
   to our policy development process
   (usually done by both co-chairs together, unless a conflict of interest
    appears)

 - help shape the format of RIPE meetings together with all the other 
   WG chairs and the RIPE PC - by mailing list and by attending the
   "WG chair lunch" on RIPE meeting Thursdays

A definite plus for an APWG chair is "operational experience with these
pesky numbers" - either by operating the address management side (LIR)
of an Internet Service Provider or Enterprise network, or by being an 
address broker, etc.


Sander and I have spoken to a few of you who would make good chairs already
- but ultimately, it's up the working group to decide.  So even if you have
spoken to us privately before, please speak up now.

So, come forward, dear candidates and make yourself known! :-)
