Meredith, those three requirements are a given. Or should be. All of the candidates meet those criteria, modulo Analisa’s potential issues over travel funding.

So if we start from that baseline, what additional attributes does the WG consider mandatory/desirable/optional for its co-chairs? What’s the ideal mix of skills and background?

As a for instance, I could be a possible candidate because I’m willing, able to attend and available. [Others may well disgaree with that opinion.] But I am unsuitable as a co-chair for the WG. And I hope we can all agree on that. :-)

FWIW, I can think of quite a few people in this Internet governance circus who would be willing, able to attend and available ...and yet be utterly unacceptable as a co-chair. I won’t name names: they rarely if ever surface at RIPE meetings anyway.
