[dns-wg] 2017 dns-wg co-chair appointment

Colleagues,

It’s that time again!

In accordance with the chair selection process we announce that one of the current co-chairs (Jaap Akkerhuis) is standing down and we would like to invite volunteers, or nominations for someone to become a new co-chair of the DNS working group.

The main responsibility of a co-chair is to prepare the agenda for the working group sessions, there are also some obligations in the policy development process, but the dns wg doesn’t often make policy.

Anyone may volunteer, and anyone may be nominated by posting to the list. It would be helpful for candidates to give the working group some words as to why they think they ought to be a co-chair, what new ideas, or improvements they might bring, etc.

Members of the working group are encouraged to show their support (or not) for those who volunteer, or are nominated. The working group will decide by consensus on the list who will be appointed. In the absence of consensus the tied candidates will draw lots.

The aim is to be able to announce a new co-chair in the dns wg session at RIPE75 in Dubai.

Thanks and kind regards,
dave
