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)
