<br>
Before and during RIPE 80 there were calls for the NomCom to halt the<br>
process and calls to re-open the call for nominations. See the archives<br>
of the ripe-chair-discuss and ripe mailing lists.<br>
<br>
The NomCom has listened carefully to these discussions and decided in<br>
its 5th meeting to postpone candidate selection and seek community<br>
support for continuing the process before proceeding. After further<br>
consultation within the NomCom I have published this request via this<br>
mailing list on 25 May.<br>
<br>
The NomCom pondered the whole community discussion again in its 6th<br>
meeting and decided unanimously to continue with candidate selection at<br>
the next meeting.<br>
Last Friday the NomCom has re-affirmed this decision at its 7th meeting<br>
and started with candidate selection.<br>
<br>
The NomCom stresses that it has carefully addressed all suggestions made<br>
during the discussions and that it has not taken its decisions lightly<br>
or without regard to what has been said. We considered *all* input as<br>
well as the current circumstances and concluded that there is no<br>
consensus in the community to deviate pragmatically from the agreed<br>
process as it is codified in ripe-727 and ripe-728.<br>
<br>
Now that we have made the decision according to our mandate and the<br>
process agreed by the community before, we ask the community to unite<br>
and support us in our effort.<br>
