    Dear working group,
    
    Introduction
    ------------
    We will be starting the selection process for the RIPE Address Policy working group co-chair soon.
    
    This mail provides information about the process and the call for volunteers.
    
    
    Current Address Policy Working Group Chair Selection Process
    -------------------------------------------------
    The AP working group chair selection process is documented here:
    
    https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selection-process
    
    We have 2 co-chairs and each chair's term is 2 years.
    
    
    About the Process
    --------------------
    Typically until last year, Sander and Gert did this dance together and it was never an actual selection process..
    
    That is, until Sander decided to step down and not run again.
    
    To avoid people start on the ML about who they like to support at the beginning with the initial volunteers only, we will do a short call for volunteers of 10 days, by asking the volunteers to send their motivation and intro to the AP-WG Chair email address. ( ap-wg-chairs at ripe.net ) 
    
    Please submit an intro / bio plus motivation, that you understand the impact of being selected as Co-Chair and your intention to be present at the next RIPE meetings before : April 15, 2019
    
    We will then release the names and statements of all applicants after the call for co-chair volunteers closes.
    
    And at that time the WG can provide input on the Mailing list on who they like to support as their co-chair.
    Or if there is specific opposition to a participant, that can also be voiced.
    
    For full transparency, it is possible that Gert's name will be added to the list in random order.
    
    The actual appointment will be discussed and decided at the next AP session at the RIPE meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland.
    
    The remaining chair will determine whether consensus has been reached.
    And if that isn't somehow possible, a secret ballot will be done by attendees IN the room and counted by the RIPE NCC staff.
    
    As always, please feel free to reach out to any of the chairs directly, to us as a group at mailto:ap-wg-chairs at ripe.net, or discuss this or any other any relevant topic on this mailing list.
    
    On behalf of your co-chairs Gert Doering and Erik Bais,  
    
    Kind regards,
    Erik Bais
