some of you might already know me as RIPE meeting attendee and part of the 
community.

Since RIPE56 in Berlin I attended most of the RIPE meetings and I'm doing a 
lot of networking on the meetings. In the past I have not been very active in 
the IPv6 WG, but only attended the sessions and talked to some people. IPv6 is 
a very interesting topic for me and something that I've been dealing with for 
almost 20 years now. I'd like to support the IPv6 WG with everything that has 
to be done on the mailing list, in preparation to the sessions on the RIPE 
meetings and of course during the sessions.

I am 46yo and live in Berlin. In 2004 I did my first IPv6 configurations at 
the non-commercial ISP IN-Berlin e.V. where I am member of the board since 
2001. Some years ago IN-Berlin also built Community-IX as a sponsored transit 
exchange for non-commercial organizations in Germany. In the past I have been 
working as a network engineer and team lead for a big german hosting company 
named STRATO for nearly 14 years and introduced IPv6 there together with 
Wilhelm Boeddinghaus, who will also be known to many people on this list. 
Since 2019 I am working as a network consultant for system.de and support our 
subsidiary Route 128 with my IPv6 knowledge.

I would be happy to be one of the co-chairs of the IPv6 working group ;-)

Hope to meet you on RIPE87!

Chris
