[db-wg] [anti-abuse-wg] RIPE NCC Executive Board election

Ronald,

While obviously I can only make comments for AA-WG (I note there are many WGs in x-post) I need to point out that this is not a suitable email for this working group.

The NCC Exec Board elections are a matter for the NCC members, not this WG nor any other, despite any cross-over in membership.

Obviously you may speak to whomever you wish on this matter, but please do not use this mailing list as a vehicle for that. It is not part of the charter nor purpose of the WG.

I would also point out that the order of candidates on the website can change, so while I am explicitly not asking you to make any more specific comments, I would point out that mentioning someone's place on a list is not useful and is potentially very harmful. I would, while again asking you not to make any more specific comments about who you are talking about, ask that you acknowledge this.

I would please ask you and all members of this list to be extremely careful in regards to mentioning or alluding to any specific people and their activities.

Thanks,

Brian
Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG

Greetings all,

I know that all is not right with the world right now, and that most of
you, like me, have much more pressing things on your minds right now, but
someone just sent me the following link and I cannot exactly ignore it:

https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ripe.net%2Fparticipate%2Fmeetings%2Fgm%2Fmeetings%2Fmay-2020%2Fconfirmed-candidates&data=02%7C01%7Cbrian.nisbet%40heanet.ie%7Cd7c81f06348b4f53dca108d7e1d75a95%7Ccd9e8269dfb648e082538b7baf8d3391%7C0%7C1%7C637226187374036509&sdata=wy76n6BJ0G9TZ9rEmO%2BdoF%2FWFk7Ds3nb5ncvZGPztoo%3D&reserved=0

I would like to call everyone's attention to the last of the three candidates
who have, it seems, "qualified" as candidates for open seats of the RIPE NCC
Executive Board.

As I have already said, I know that things are bad in the world right now,
but I must ask this question:  Is there really no one other than these
three candidates who is willing and/or able to stand for the three open
seats on the RIPE NCC Executive board... three open seats that will be
voted on at the next general meeting, 13-15 May 2020 ?

If not, then it seems that RIPE NCC will soon be following in the new
tradition, established first by AFRINIC only last year, of placing well
and widely known crooks on it board.

I desperately hope it won't come to that, but that is not for me to decide.

The decision is in your hands dear friends.


Regards,
rfg
