Right.  So, I hereby volunteer for another two-year term (and after that,
I'll probably retire as a WG chair, so this is the start of a hopefully
smooth transition to new chairpeople...).

As a matter of introduction, I'll just lazily copy-paste from the mail
I sent about two years ago, and just adjust the dates...

Gert Doering

 * age 45
 * shoe size 47, preferrably wearing sandals
 * university diploma in physics, but into networking since about 24 years

 * the ISP I work for is SpaceNet, AS5539 - a regional ISP in Munich, DE,
   who provides mostly "datacenter" and "managed hosting" services these
   days (but used to provide access, so I know both sides of the medal)

 * hands-on-geek - network, peering, unix admin - and long-time LIR contact,
   so I know both the operational side of "IP networks" and the bureaucracy
   side of "I want a Class C network!" - "here's a /29" haggling.

 * attending RIPE meetings since RIPE 24 in Berlin, 1996
   (missing two since then, Dublin I and Prague II)

 * address policy working group co-chair since RIPE 44 in Amsterdam, 2003
   (https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-44/meeting-report)
   - then still called the "LIR working group".


My plans for the WG are mostly the same as I did in the previous years - 
help shape address policies for the RIPE region that are workable for
all affected users, and do so in a hopefully neutral and construtive way.

Further, facilitate a constructive dialogue between the RIPE NCC and the
RIPE community regarding address policy issues.

(I *still* do expect the WG to eventually wind down, as we seem to have 
reached the point where IPv4 policies do not succeed anymore due to too 
vastly conflicting interests, and IPv6 policies seem to be "good enough" 
for most cases, so the occasional tweak here and there...  we'll see :-) )

have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
