[cooperation-wg] time-lines for co-chair appointments

Replying to myself, eh?


Meredith, a month has passed since I posted the message below to the list. You haven’t replied. There hasn’t even been an acknowledgement or an “I’m busy and will get back to you/the WG in a few days”. Could you please answer the questions I posted?

As far as question [2] goes, the WG now needs a revised schedule for co-chair appointment(s). Nothing has happened. We’ve gone beyond the end points that were in the appointment proposals made by yourself and Collin. Since neither of them has been followed, the WG needs to know and agree a time-line for choosing another co-chair (or two). It would be nice to get an update from you on what the next steps are and when they can be expected to happen.

Thanks

Collin proposed a revised schedule. But it doesn’t appear to have had much support from the WG. So it’s not clear (at least not to me) if we’re following that time-line or the earlier one you suggested  during the last RIPE meeting.
