[cooperation-wg] Cooperation WG Chair Selection Process - candidates and launch of the discussion

Dear Group,

Following the recent announcement for a call for a third Chair, I would
like to be considered for the position. Here is a little about me and why I
think that I would be a good fit -

Richard (Dick) Leaning

*Am currently a Director of Trust and Safety at Cloudflare with Global
responsibility for Outreach. My role involves engaging with a broad range
of stakeholders including law enforcement, rights holders, child
protection, policy and government organisations. *



*I spent a 30 year career in law enforcement, spending the last 10 years
working for the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCA) in the UK and the European
Cybercrime Centre (Europol) in The Hague. I have been involved with the
RIPE community since 2009 and between 2015 - 2019 worked for the RIPE NCC
External Relations department, joining Cloudflare in 2020. *


*I am a member of numerous internet related working groups with
international exposure, including the Europol’s European CyberCrime Centre
(EC3) Advisory group on cyber security. I established the Government
Advisory Committee Public Safety Working Group at ICANN (GAC PSWG) and also
helped create the Number Resource Organisations public safety coordination
group. *


*Throughout my career, I have built relationships of mutual trust and
respect that facilitated significant collaboration with law enforcement,
government authorities and industry partners not only within Europe but
also extensively in the Middle East, Africa and Asian Pacific regions. *


*I believe this vast international experience in Public, Private and
Intergovernmental industries and environments, together with my skills,
reputation and global network, will be an asset to the RIPE community and
the Cooperation Working Group, and will ensure open constructive
discussions taking into account all stakeholder's vision of the Internet
landscape. *


Am more than happy to answer any questions if anyone feels they need to
know more about me and what I can add to the group.


Cheers


Dick
