[lir-wg]Election of chairs to the lir-wg - call for nominations

Dear wg,
As mentioned at the last wg-meeting, one of the co-chairs, James Alderidge, 
has started working for the RIPE NCC, and as one of the unwritten rules of 
the LIR-wg is that it should be chaired by non RIPE NCC staff, James is no 
longer serving as a co-chair of this wg.

Last time we had an election the wg deceided that one chair and two 
co-chairs was suitable. As I find it good practice to hold an open election 
from time to time I propose that we do an election for all 3 chairs.

I would like to propose to the WG that we do a open nomination process on 
the lir-wg list up until lets say one month before the next RIPE meeting 
(27 to 31 January 2003) for chair and two co-chairs and that we do the 
chair election at the next wg meeting in Amsterdam.

This should give the wg a good opportunity to discuss potential candidates.

Best Regards,
Hans Petter Holen
lir-wg chair.
