[dns-wg] DNS wg co-chair selection: candidates

Colleagues,

The deadline for the DNS co-chair candidate volunteering is now over.

We have a single excellent candidate.

The period to express support (or concern) for the candidate starts now 
and runs until Wednesday, 26 October 2022.

Below find a few words from the candidate.

========================================================================
Willem Toorop

I propose myself as a candidate to follow-up Shane as DNS working group 
co-chair.

DNS has been the focus of my working life for the past 12 years and I've 
been loving it. The DNS has a lively, creative and very pleasant 
technical community and I truly enjoy working in and with that community.

DNS plays (more and more) a central role in the tussle around the 
responsibilities and the capabilities of the different stakeholders on 
the Internet (i.e. the content vs network operators vs end-users). A 
good venue for this debate is the RIPE DNS working group. A well 
balanced program on the RIPE DNS working group is crucial for forming a 
well-founded point of view for all the participants in this debate. I 
think that I, as an open source DNS software developer, have a good 
perspective on the DNS world, the current state of the art and the 
possible future directions of development, and that I am in a good 
position to help out in assembling such a program.

Sorry if the previous paragraph sounds (a bit) pompous. I just want to 
say that I would love to help out to put in the spotlight a well 
balanced selection of all the interesting new stuff that's going on in 
the DNS and that I think it is very important to do so too!

Also, I am a huge fan of the current co-chairs João and Moritz (and of 
course Shane too!!!) and I would be honored and delighted to work with 
you guys!
========================================================================

Cheers,

--
Shane on behalf of the DNS WG co-chairs
