[ipv6-wg] Resignation as co-chair of ipv6

Dear David,

Unfortunate that you could not join us here in Warsaw for a more personal farewell, I hope we still get a chance to do that at one of our upcoming meetings.

Let me thank you for all your hard work you have done for this working group and the RIPE community in general. It has always been a pleasure working with you, both in my role as co-chair of this group as well as friends and colleagues over the past 15 years.

Hope to see you again at our meetings and if course this mailing list.

For the working group: Shane and I have been discussing this and the topic of filling this vacancy will be part of the agenda of our working group session, which will take place this Thursday. Being short notice, there will be no final decision made during this RIPE Meeting and this will be handled on the mailing list, allowing for the whole community to comment and participate in this process.

Thanks,

Marco Hogewoning
co-chair of the RIPE IPv6 working group
