[opensource-wg] Call for OpenSource WG Chair Nominations (due by Sept 11, 23:59 GMT)

Everyone,

The fall RIPE is coming up and this is the time for Open Source WG chair 
elections.

Nomination period is from NOW until Sept 11, 23:59 GMT

Chair selection is as follows:
- If there are no nominations, then it will continue as is without any 
vote (both myself and Ondrej are willing to continue)
- If there is a nomination, then we will try to decide in a consensus 
(between existing maintainers and nominees) on
   how to proceed - i.e. replace someone or add someone as a 3rd 
maintainer)
- If the consensus fails (i.e. if one of the nominations wants to force 
a vote to replace an existing maintainer and
   there is a disagreement), then we’ll have a public vote during the 
Open Source WG
   (Consensus between existing maintainers and all the nominees)
See 
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/open-source-working-group/open-source-wg-chair-selection-process 
for details.

So if you want to become a 3rd WG chair (not replacing any existing ones 
or if you want to force a re-election
vote against a specific (or any) current WG chair, then this is the time 
to do so.

Please send your nomination to opensource-wg-chairs at ripe.net

If you miss this chance, then the next nomination period is in one year 
(each Fall RIPE meeting)
The new WG chair starts after the Fall RIPE meeting.

Regards,
    Martin Winter
