Dear Friends and Colleagues, The RIPE Programme Committee is responsible for recruiting and selecting presentations for the RIPE Meeting Plenary sessions. As the term of two RIPE PC members end, we are looking for new members in Autumn 2018 who will be elected by the RIPE community at RIPE 77 in Amsterdam.
There are currently two seats up for election to the RIPE PC. Please send nominations, with a biography, statement of interest and photograph, to [email protected]. The Charter of the RIPE Programme Committee (https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-pc-charter) provides more information about the composition and roles of the RIPE PC. Nominations for the RIPE 77 PC elections can be sent in from today until Tuesday October 16th, 15:30 CEST. We will announce the PC elections at the RIPE meeting opening sessions, but interested parties can nominate themselves from now. We will close candidate nominations on Tuesday at 15:30 CEST (UTC+2), and publish the biographies on the RIPE Meeting web site. Candidates (or their stand-ins) can present themselves at the start of the Tuesday 16:00 CEST session. The RIPE PC online voting system will be open from Tuesday October 16th, 16:00 CEST until Thursday October 18th, 17:30 CEST, for the community members to cast their votes. The total voting numbers may be public. The official announcement of the elected RIPE PC members will be on Friday morning, the 19th October, at the start of the 11:00 CEST closing plenary session.
