Jim is not trying to get away. He will be going away. Well, as a co-chair anyway. I’ll still be coming to RIPE meetings.

I’ve co-chaired the WG for 15 years (yikes!). So it’s time for a change and for this Old Fart to make way for a fresh face. This year's iteration of the WG’s appointment procedure will be a convenient opportunity to do that. The news shouldn’t be a surprise because I announced it at the WG session in Bucharest last year. In fact, I'd planned to step down last year but Peter beat me to it.
