Hi Denis, Hope that your health is improved. Sorry to hear about that. The question that I have is, will you be able to attend RIPE meetings? Not many RIPE meetings are in The Netherlands anymore and the last meeting that I can see that you attended was while working at RIPE NCC in Warsaw ( RIPE68 - May 2014) And a (co)-chair should be present at the meetings as much as possible imho. I'm not debating your knowlegde on the DB, but if this isn't working from a logistics point, a chair position may not be the best choice atm.
