Dear colleagues,
RIPE 80 is going online and Hans Petter is no longer available.
Here is how it will affect the NomCom plans:
RIPE 80 going online will make it more difficult to gather community
input to the NomCom process. We considered taking more time to make up
for this. However, as Hans Petter has told us he is no longer available
for selection, we will stick to the agreed timeline and aim to have the
new Chair and Vice Chair selected by 15 June.
We are also considering to speed up the transition period. Rather than
waiting until RIPE 81 we aim to have the confirmed candidates assume
their roles as soon as feasible. The intention is to minimize the period
during which Hans Petter has to serve in the role of RIPE Chair in
addition to his new role as Managing Director of the RIPE NCC.
The NomCom will actively participate in the online version of RIPE 80
and we will do our best to collect as much community input as we
possibly can. We will be there at the online community plenary and we
will have online office hours. We aim to select excellent candidates for
the Chair and Vice Chair roles and follow an exemplary process. As of
now, we have three brilliant nominees. Nominations are open until 29
March 2020!

Stay safe and healthy
Daniel Karrenberg
Chair
RIPE NomCom 2020
