[anti-abuse-wg] Proposed New Working Group Co-Chair

Colleagues,

After the events of RIPE 61 I announced that it was my intention to have 
a new co-chair in place at or by RIPE 62 in Amsterdam this coming May. 
After the comments at that meeting and the emails I sent out in the 
interim, one person has put themselves forward. I believe this person to 
be eminently suitable for the position and so I would like to present 
him to the working group for your consideration. As there is one 
position and one candidate it is a matter of simple consensus.

My intention is to give a period of two weeks on the list for any 
comments to be sent (either to the list or to me personally) and then to 
devote a short amount of time to this at our WG session in Amsterdam. 
However assuming there is no notable objection on the mailing list this 
should be a very small amount of time indeed.

Anyway, that's a lot of preamble, the candidate to take up the position 
of Co-Chair of the RIPE Anti-Abuse WG is Tobias Knecht from Abusix. Many 
of you will already know Tobias and I believe that his knowledge of and 
connections to the anti-abuse community will be extremely useful in 
progressing the work of the AA-WG.

If you have any questions for Tobias (or for me, obviously) then, as I 
said, please email them either directly to us or to the list.

Thanks,

Brian.
Chair, RIPE Anti-Abuse WG
