Call for RIPE DNS Working Group Chair
------------------------------------------------------
	
In accordance with the chair selection process we announce that the term of one of our co-chairs (Joao Damas) will expire at the upcoming RIPE Meeting (RIPE 87, near Rome) and we would like to invite volunteers, or nominations for someone to become a co-chair of the DNS working group.

Anyone may volunteer, and anyone may be nominated by someone else (we will check with the person for acceptance).

Note that having served two terms, in accordance with the selection process Joao is not eligible.

To do this, please send a mail to <dns-wg-chairs AT ripe.net <mailto:dns-wg-chairs at ripe.net>> before end of Sunday 5 November 2023 (UTC). Again, please DO NOT send your volunteer/nomination to the DNS WG mailing but rather the dns-wg-chairs mail alias.

It would be helpful for candidates to give some words as to why they think they ought to be a co-chair, what new ideas, or improvements they might bring, and so on.

We will publish the list of volunteers, along with anything the volunteers wish to include with their nomination, to this mailing list on Monday 6 November 2023. Discussion and support (or opposition) for each candidate can then be offered on the list.

At the DNS working group session at RIPE 87, Moritz and Wilhelm hope to announce consensus based on the mailing list discussion.
