Hi, (intro) Tobias Knecht sent me an email (which this is a reply to) abusing his position as co-chair in order to try to sell me services based on what I said on a mailing list.
(mainly towards Tobias) Replying to me based on a mailing list post in order to try to sell me services is bad enough. To do it as a co-chair and then to use the fact that you are co-chair as a selling point is much worse. I find this utterly appalling behaviour from a co-chair of a working group, I didn't reach out to you, you weren't even in the thread at all. also this: > As a Co-Chair I didn't want to jump into the mix on the mailing list, that's why I'm reaching out to you directly. I mean that is sort of the point of co-chairs generally speaking but yeah it is going to look bad if you are trying to sell something, because it is bad. (mainly towards chair team and aa-wg chairs) A co-chair of a working group should absolutely be warned or removed if they abuse their position to sell their services. I also somehow doubt that this is the first time, I could be wrong, but idk why this would be the first time. I hate it when for example Cogent sends me emails trying to sell me services despite me never having contacted them (outside of replying saying I am not interested). But this is more like if the Cogent sales people were co-chairs of the db-wg. Also with a subject like "RIPE AA-WG discussion" I initially thought it was actually about something I said or whatever, in his role as co-chair, it didn't appear like it was a sales email. I have also CC'd the aa-wg and ripe list as this is too appalling to be held private. -Cynthia On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 5:50 PM Tobias Knecht <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Cynthia, > > my name is Tobias.
