Hello again, dear friends, First, thank you so much for the lively discussion during today's Coop-WG. I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm and care for this important process.
I have CCed all of the current candidates for co-chair here (I realize they are all also on the list, but as I hope many of you appreciate, I'm a fan of redundancy). To refresh your memory, these are: - *Achilleas Kemos* -- from the European Commission's DGConnect. He was present today and gave an overview of his work and his interest during the working group. - *Collin Anderson* -- Network Researcher and Internet Policy enthusist. He was also present today, and provided an overview. - *Analina Aspis* -- Lawyer and Researcher at the Law Research Institute Ambrosio Gioja, specializing in ICT law. She was not present today, but you can read her overview posted in a previous Coop-WG thread - *Johan Helsingius* -- (tentative nominee, as above). I'm not sure of his background or interest, but I invite him to disclose this in an email here. I invite those on this list to suggest other nominees, to ask questions and make comments to the current nominees, and to continue the lively discussion. As I mentioned, *I will be receptive to suggestions and will work to distill the decisions of the community in a week's time*, disclosing such in an email to this list. If there are those here who feel strongly that we should extend the process beyond a week, please speak up here. I am sensitive to the need for discussion, and don't want to rush anything. That said, before the next meeting I need a co-chair. This is the responsible move on my part, to ensure I'm not a single point of failure in the case that I change jobs, have the flu during a meeting, etc..
