For clarity, here is the official Cooperation WG Chair Selection Process:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/coop/cooperation-wg-chair-selection-process
"The RIPE Coop WG aims for multiple Chairs, with two or three Chairs, ideally
from differing sectors, being ideal.
The process for selecting a new chair is as follows:
1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at least every
three years, or whenever needed.
2. Interested parties have two weeks to make their interest known via the
mailing list, or directly to the Chair/s.
3. After two weeks, the Chair/s ensure that all candidates are announced on the
mailing list and issue a call for discussion.
4. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates.
5. Two weeks after the call for discussion, the Chair/s declare a decision,
based on mailing list discussion,
as they would do for a policy proposal."
Thus, as we have posted the call on Monday, November 30, it means interested
parties have until end
of the day (CET) on Monday, December 14 to make their interest known.
A few people have already been in touch, but more interest is definitely
welcome!
