[ncc-announce] [GM] Call for Volunteers for Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team

Dear members,

This is a call for volunteers from among the membership to join the 
Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May 2022 General 
Meeting elections.

The Executive Board election in 2021 was the first to have a Code of 
Conduct for Executive Board Election Candidates. An Executive Board 
Election Code of Conduct Team was established to evaluate reports of 
violations of the code of conduct. The report of that Code of Conduct 
Team is available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2021/eb-elections/report-of-the-executive-board-election-code-of-conduct-team

The team for 2021 was made up of seven volunteers from the Executive 
Board Election Task Force. The Executive Board would like to express its 
gratitude to the seven members of the team who carried out this 
important work.

The Executive Board would now like to ask for volunteers from the 
membership to be on the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team 
for the May 2022 election. The task of this team will be to evaluate any 
reports of violations of the election code of conduct by candidates. If 
the team confirms that a violation of the election code of conduct has 
taken place, disqualification of the candidate in question can take place.

If you are willing to participate in this role, please send a mail to 
<agm at ripe.net> by *Wednesday, 23 February 2022*. The Board will appoint 
members of the team from the list of those that volunteer.

Members should not volunteer if they expect to become candidates in the 
election.

And I note that the code of conduct for this purpose applies only to 
confirmed candidates in the election. All of us, members and candidates 
alike, are expected to follow the RIPE Code of Conduct:
