Call for RIPE NCC Services Working Group Chair
----------------------------------------------

In accordance with the chair selection process we announce that the
term of one of our co-chairs (Kurtis Lindqvist) will soon expire and
we would like to invite volunteers, or nominations for someone to
become a co-chair of the RIPE NCC Services working group.

Anyone may volunteer, and anyone may be nominated by someone else.

To do this, please send a mail to <ncc-services-wg-chairs at ripe.net>
before the end of Tuesday 13th October 2020.

It would be helpful for candidates to give some words as to why they
think they ought to be a co-chair, what new ideas, or improvements
they might bring, and so on.

We will publish the list of volunteers, along with anything the
volunteers include with their nomination, to this mailing list on
Wednesday 14th October 2020. Discussion and support (or opposition)
for each candidate can then be offered on the list.

At the NCC Services working group session at RIPE 81, Bijal and Rob
hope to announce consensus based on the mailing list discussion.
