<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Hi everybody!<div><br></div><div>I got some questions about this, so let me explain.</div><div><br></div><div>Me having to resign from the NRO-NC / ASO-AC is because I am running for the RIPE NCC Executive Board later this month. To be eligible as a candidate I have to sign a statement that includes things like committing to follow the code of conduct, declaring that I never committed fraud etc. All good. But it also includes a statement (4.7) where I have to declare that I am not a member of the ASO AC.</div><div><br></div><div>So, even to run for the board, I had to resign. Independent of the actual outcome. So here we are…</div><div><br></div><div>This has put me in an awkward position. The ASO AC is working in very important things right now, and I feel that I’m making a contribution there, but I’m forced to resign. Therefore, I have promised the ASO AC that I will stay involved as an observer (the meetings of the ASO AC are public! Please make use of that!) and that I’ll stay active as a volunteer/advisor/whatever they need.</div><div><br></div><div>And if I don’t get elected, I will definitely run for the ASO AC again!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Sander Steffann</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">---</span><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">for every complex problem, there’s a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong</span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">Op 6 mei 2024 om 08:57 heeft herve.clement@orange.com het volgende geschreven:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"> <style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; } @font-face { font-family: Calibri; } p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; } a:link, span.MsoHyperlink { color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline; } span.EmailStyle17 { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: windowtext; } .MsoChpDefault { font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; } @page WordSection1 { size: 612pt 792pt; margin: 70.85pt; } div.WordSection1 { page: WordSection1; }</style> <div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I confirm that the <a href="https://aso.icann.org/">ASO AC</a> has recently received the formal resignation from Sander Steffann and has taken note of it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Council is now comprised of 11 members (out of the 15 initial ones: there are currently no representatives from the AfriNIC region).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Our <a href="https://aso.icann.org/documents/operational-documents/operating-procedures-of-the-address-council-of-the-address-supporting-organization/"> Operational Procedures</a> had been amended last November and the ASO AC is able to fulfil its functions with the remaining councilors. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Constanze and I will be happy to present the Council activities during our next RIPE meeting in Krakow, and answer your questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Looking forward to seeing you very soon (in-person or remotely).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Best regards<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hervé<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ASO AC Chair <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> </div> <pre>_________________<wbr>______________________________<wbr>______________________________<wbr>______________________________<wbr>_ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
