[db-wg] Database Working Group Chair Selection

Hello everyone,
I am David, the second co-chair candidate.
20 years old, located in Berlin, I work as a network engineer for a 
large hosting company. Some of you may have already met me at a local 
beering or a RIPE meeting.

I've already talked to Denis and William about the position, what 
happens behind the scenes, and what is expected. I also got additional 
tips and information from Franziska and Mirjam and plan to take part in 
the upcoming co-chair training program.

Some of my goals as a co-chair would be
- To support the moderation of the mailing list and facilitate working 
group tasks
- Promote active discussion, sending summary emails to make the content 
easier to follow
- Perform community outreach to raise awareness of this working group 
and the policy process

Please do not hesitate to ask me any question or to give feedback.

Regards,
David
