[cooperation-wg] Cooperation WG Chair Selection -co-chairs deliberation

Dear Julf, Achilleas and group colleagues,

I understand that the selection task was quite a challenging one. 

So, I want to thank you and the group for all their support and trust in me. 

Likewise, I, too, very much hope that Dick would be available for the autumn round of co-chair selection.

I look forward to working with everyone, in this new role.

Desiree

Unfortunately, as expressed by Jim, it wouldn’t make sense to go for 4 co-chairs. We were thus faced with a very difficult decision, as there also was no clear preference for either candidate during the discussion phase.

We want to thank Dick for being a great candidate, and hope he will still be available in the autumn when we plan a second round of co-chair selection - and meanwhile we are also looking forward his active participation in the WG.
