While I think both candidates would be a good fit, I am supporting Ulrich.
Best regards,
Matthijs

Dear colleagues,
I am glad to announce that we have 2 candidates for the co-chair
position that will become vacant at RIPE 91.
We will now collect expressions of support (or opposition) from the
mailing list until Monday, 20 October 2025, and will announce the
results on Thursday, 23 October 2025 during the DNS working group
session at the RIPE 91.
Our candidates are, in the order received:
*****************************************
Name: Antonio Prado
Nominated by: self-nomination
Statement of Antonio:
I would like to put my name forward as a volunteer for the position of
co-chair of the RIPE DNS Working Group.
I have been active in the RIPE community for several years, serving on
the RIPE Programme Committee since 2018 and contributing regularly
with talks on DNS, BGP, and Internet governance. My professional
background is in Internet infrastructure, where I work closely with
independent ISPs and research institutions, with a focus on DNS
operations, security, and resilience.
In addition to my operational work, I have written both academic and
popular articles, as well as books – among them "BGP from Theory to
Practice", which I co-authored. These activities reflect my ongoing
interest in making complex technical topics accessible to different
audiences, something I believe is important also in the context of a
working group.
If selected as co-chair, I would like to continue the WG’s tradition
of being a space for both deep technical exchange and open community
dialogue. In particular, I would focus on:
- fostering participation from operators of all sizes, especially
smaller ISPs that often remain underrepresented;
- strengthening the link between DNS operations and broader topics
such as security, resilience, and regulatory developments;
- supporting collaboration across different communities and helping to
bring new contributors into the WG.
I see this role not only as a way to give back to the RIPE community,
but also as an opportunity to help ensure the DNS WG remains a
relevant and inclusive forum for the years to come.
*****************************************
Name: Ulrich Wisser
Nominated by: David Huberman
Statement of Ulrich:
Currently I work as technical engagement manager Europe for ICANN.
Before that I have worked at .se for 15 years as developer and DNS
expert where I among other things implemented DNSSEC in all production
systems. I have served as co-chair for the Centr-Tech working group,
have been on the DNS-OARC program committee and still organize the
tech track of the Nordic Domain Days.
In my spare time I read sci-fi, dabble with home-automation and I
throw people (I am a licensed judo instructor).

Best regards,
Yevheniya, for the RIPE DNS working group co-chairs (Willem, Moritz
and me)
