[mat-wg] MAT WG chair selection

Greetings, all,

I will be calling consensus on this point tomorrow, but looking over the feedback received during (and before) the comment period, I see a few themes emerging I’d like to get some feedback on before making that call:

(1) Support for all three candidates.
(2) A desire for new ideas and new energy in the group of chairs (which, as one responsible for the keeping-the-lights-on “sogg[iness]”, especially over the pandemic years, I wholeheartedly endorse).
(3) At least one question as to why and whether we can’t have three chairs (which we can).

Given these themes, and explicitly asking the community to check my own biases here, I’d like to ask the community if there is support and consensus for appointing all three candidates (Massimo Candela, Stephen Strowes, and Nina Bargisen) as co-chairs of the RIPE MAT WG.

Thanks, cheers,

Brian
