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

Dear group,

Let me start by wishing you a happy and safe 2021. In the Chinese calendar, 2020 is
the year of the Rat, and 2021 the year of the Ox. Personally I have to say I prefer
BS (that is something we are all used to) to the plague.

Anyway, January 5 is approaching quickly, and Achilleas and I are facing the
prospect of having to pick one of the co-chair candidates without much input
from the WG members. Therefore I would like to kick off a quick discussion
round by asking both Desiree and Dick to post their visions of what they
think the challenges and opportunities are in 2021 for the RIPE community
with regards to governments and international organisations.
