Chairman Resigns

This is a message to the local-ir working group of RIPE.

I am sorry but this coming meeting I have to definitely
resign as the chairman of this group. There are two reasons:

1) I (still) do not think it is right that an NCCer chairs a
   this group. One of the missions of the group is to act as 
   a pressure group towards the NCC. I have expressed this in
   the past but those present at that meeting forcefully :-)
   agreed that they were happy I agreed to stay on.
   Since the fact that I chair this group now has been used 
   as one of the arguments to critisise the RIPE NCC management
   structure as a whole I have to resign.

2) The NCC is currently understaffed and any reduction in the load
   on all staff is welcome.


So please be prepared that a new chairperson will have to be elected
at the next meeting.

Daniel
