Betreff: [address-policy-wg] Working group chair rotation 2

Hello working group,

A year has passed since we implemented our working group chair rotation mechanism, so it is time for one of the APWG chairs to offer his place in case the working group would like to see a change of chair. This time it is my turn to step down, and I will do so in the APWG session at RIPE 72 in Copenhagen. So this is the time for candidates to volunteer and make themselves known here on the list! To be considered candidates must make themselves know before the start of RIPE 72.

So, let me start by volunteering again :)  I would love to serve this working group for another term as one of its chairs. A short introduction for those who don't know me:

* age 39
* shoe size 46, usually not wearing sandals though
* university degree in computer science, master on distributed systems for supporting business processes

* self-employed IPv6 consultant, customers include ISPs and enterprises
* run a small LISP based ISP on AS57771

* attending RIPE meetings since RIPE 49 in Manchester, 2004
  (missed none)

* address policy working group co-chair since RIPE 54 in Tallinn, 2007
  (https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/minutes/minutes-from-ripe-54)

And now for the future plans

* guide the working group in making good policies

* maintain a good standard of communication on the mailing list
* while also giving space to people with different opinions

* aiming to arrive at simple and fair policies for the benefit of the whole community
* and explicitly not having a personal agenda while doing so

I essentially want to use what I have learned in the last 9 years and continue to guide the working group in always-improving ways.

Cheers,
Sander Steffann
