[cooperation-wg] Chairs of this wg

Hello again, dear friends,

First, thank you so much for the lively discussion during today's Coop-WG.
I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm and care for this important process.

I have CCed all of the current candidates for co-chair here (I realize they
are all also on the list, but as I hope many of you appreciate, I'm a fan
of redundancy). To refresh your memory, these are:

   - *Achilleas Kemos* -- from the European Commission's DGConnect. He was
   present today and gave an overview of his work and his interest during the
   working group.
   - *Collin Anderson* -- Network Researcher and Internet Policy enthusist.
   He was also present today, and provided an overview.
   - *Analina Aspis* -- Lawyer and Researcher at the Law Research Institute
   Ambrosio Gioja, specializing in ICT law. She was not present today, but you
   can read her overview posted in a previous Coop-WG thread

   - *Johan Helsingius* -- (tentative nominee, as above). I'm not sure of
   his background or interest, but I invite him to disclose this in an email
   here.

I invite those on this list to suggest other nominees, to ask questions and
make comments to the current nominees, and to continue the lively
discussion.

As I mentioned, *I will be receptive to suggestions and will work to
distill the decisions of the community in a week's time*, disclosing such
in an email to this list. If there are those here who feel strongly that we
should extend the process beyond a week, please speak up here. I am
sensitive to the need for discussion, and don't want to rush anything. That
said, before the next meeting I need a co-chair. This is the responsible
move on my part, to ensure I'm not a single point of failure in the case
that I change jobs, have the flu during a meeting, etc..

Best,
Meredith
