[cooperation-wg] Co-Chair nominations, and call for interested parties

Hi Co-op WG,

Taking this time to announce two candidates for co-chair (since we already
have two), and to ask that others interested *announce themselves on this
list before May 18*. In keeping with the protocol
<https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/coop/cooperation-wg-chair-selection-process>
for electing new Coop-WG Chairs.

Our goal is to increase the number of chairs from one (me) to ideally three
-- coming from different sectors and bringing varying experiences.

   - *Collin Anderson* -- M-Lab Network Researcher
   Collin has been ably doing the job of co-Chair for a year and a half
   now, working alongside me to help structure WG sessions, recruit speakers,
   and additionally contributing to the RIPE community through research
   collaborations, and beyond. He is well known and respected in the policy
   community as well as the network research community, and is frequently
   consulted by the FCC, European Commission, and similar governmental bodies
   on network measurement and management best practices. I'm delighted that
   I've finally been able to convince him to run for the position officially.

   - *Achilleas Kemos* -- European Commission Policy and Project Officer
   Achilleas Kemos works with the European Commission's Unit dealing with
   Network technologies, with a particular focus on standardisation
   activities. He has been Commission representative in the key technical
   bodies related to Internet Protocol (IP) standards issues and IP address
   allocation policies (IETF and RIPE respectively) since 2012, bridging
   policy considerations with technology issues.

Thanks,
Meredith
Coop-WG Chair
