Dear AP WG, Maybe not as timely as initially projected, but with no further delay ... We have 2 prospects for the Co-Chair position for the AP-WG, as Gert is leaving us as co-chair after 18 years of being one of the Chairs of the AP-WG ( since RIPE 44 in Amsterdam, 2003 ). Or the LIR WG as it was called back in those days.. ( https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-44/meeting-report ) Both Leo Vegoda and James Kennedy re-stated that they want to serve the WG as a co-Chair. Their motivation you can read below: James Kennedy: Clogg size M, preferably wooden. Relevant background - BSc degree in IT and Telecommunications from University of Limerick, 2005 - Various roles in technology in Luxembourg and Amsterdam before working for the Registration Services department of the RIPE NCC for 3.5 years - Now the IP Address Manager for tier 1 Internet access provider for over 8 years - Regular RIPE Meeting attendee and active RIPE community member - Author of address policy 2015-02: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-02 - Member of the RIPE Database Requirements Task Force: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/rdb-requirements-tf Likes - Well maintained, accurate, reliable data - Smart process simplification - Bottom-up, consensus-driven, open policy development Goals as AP-WG co-chair - Facilitate and encourage open, constructive discourse on address policy related topics - Provide neutral guidance to community members interested in proposing address policy - Support productive communication between the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community regarding address policy issues in a post-IPv4 runout world Leo Vegoda: I had operational roles at two ISPs before joining the RIPE NCC's registration services team in 2000. I led the team for several years before joining ICANN to manage Internet Number Resources in its IANA team at the end of 2006. I then moved into ICANN's Office of the COO to focus on continuous improvement and organisational planning. I started a small business in 2020, and focus on helping organisations operating in the Internet infrastructure and community space. Clients include Euro-IX, PeeringDB, and UKNOF. I am also currently chairing RIPE's Code of Conduct TF. The first meeting I attended was RIPE 35, in 2000. I have previously submitted one policy proposal (https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2006-07) and have implemented several more, both at the RIPE NCC and ICANN. And Leo's response in reply to the info above, as to what his shoe size is ... > My shoes say 255, but that is a Chinese scale. Also, I think my feet have spread after a year of almost not wearing shoes. Me and Gert had the pleasure on working with Leo and James in the last 6 months on topics in relation on the AP-WG related stuff. And I would suggest to the working group to extend, if the WG agrees, to accept both applicants, so that we are going to a 3 chair WG. I think they have a solid understanding of the policy making and background which is relevant for the AP-WG and a good addition to the position. During RIPE82 we will have the time in the agenda for the rotation process. If you like to support or have specific questions / concerns, please let us know via the mailing list or to myself directly. We will send out the AP-WG RIPE82 agenda shortly. Regards, Erik Bais On behalf of the AP-WG chair team.
