<br>
as announced, my co-chairs of amazingly many years, Sander Steffann, will<br>
be stepping down as a WG chair at the next RIPE meeting.<br>
<br>
Our WG chair selection policy is described here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/<wbr>participate/ripe/wg/ap</a><br>
<a href="https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selection-process" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/<wbr>participate/ripe/wg/ap/<wbr>address-policy-wg-chair-<wbr>selection-process</a><br>
<br>
according to this, we'll spend a few minutes at the next APWG session<br>
in Marseilles to select a new co-chair.<br>
<br>
To avoid lengthy rounds of introduction at the meeting, I want to ask<br>
for volunteers here on the list - please step forward if you want to<br>
take up this work, and introduce yourself on why you think you're a<br>
good candidate and what your plans for the WG are for the next two years<br>
(or longer).<br>
<br>
A short recap of the WG chairs duties:<br>
<br>
- chair the APWG session at the RIPE meetings<br>
(so generally it is expected that both co-chairs can attend most<br>
RIPE meetings and feel halfway confident talking on stage and<br>
moderate a discussion)<br>
<br>
- read - and if necessary, moderate - the APWG mailing list<br>
(thus, fluency in written English is necessary, and while discussions<br>
are going on, some amount time spent at least every few days)<br>
<br>
- help policy proposers bring their policy proposal through the PDP<br>
(answering questions, helping with the wording of proposed text,<br>
spending some time discussing 'next steps' for a proposal)<br>
<br>
- judge consensus at the end of discussion and review phases according<br>
to our policy development process<br>
(usually done by both co-chairs together, unless a conflict of interest<br>
appears)<br>
<br>
- help shape the format of RIPE meetings together with all the other<br>
WG chairs and the RIPE PC - by mailing list and by attending the<br>
"WG chair lunch" on RIPE meeting Thursdays<br>
<br>
- see also: <a href="https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/<wbr>publications/docs/ripe-692</a><br>
<br>
A definite plus for an APWG chair is "operational experience with these<br>
pesky numbers" - either by operating the address management side (LIR)<br>
of an Internet Service Provider or Enterprise network, or by being an<br>
address broker, etc.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sander and I have spoken to a few of you who would make good chairs already<br>
- but ultimately, it's up the working group to decide. So even if you have<br>
spoken to us privately before, please speak up now.<br>
<br>
So, come forward, dear candidates and make yourself known! :-)<br>
