[ripe-list] New Deadline for RIPE Chair Nominations

Good morning,

at the end of the previous RIPE Meeting I made a call for you to 
nominate persons for RIPE Chair and Vice Chair. The deadline was 
yesterday and we have received a total of 2 (two) nominations, one for 
chair and one for vice chair. While this would make the task of the 
committee an easy one ;-), it has also been brought to my attention that 
the call was not very widely known. Many people seem to have missed it 
in all the excitement of the Rotterdam meeting. Even the current RIPE 
chair, Hans Petter, missed it.

While working on the time-line for the NomCom I also realised that there 
is no reason to set such a short deadline. ripe-728 does not prescribe 
this either. ripe-728 also calls for pragmatism in a situation like 
this. Therefore I now set a new deadline: March 29th 23:59 UTC. This 
will also allow for the NomCom itself to canvass for Nominations. In the 
meantime I will work to give this call some more publicity.

Daniel Karrenberg
Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom
