[ncc-services-wg] WG Chair selection 2023

	Dear WG members,

At the upcoming RIPE meeting there is again a WG selection process for one of the three WG chairs of NCC Services. It is my seat that is up for selection this time. I have been WG Chair of NCC Services since the WG was created at RIPE46 in 2003 and I am not planning on re-standing.

The process for the WG chair selection is outlined at https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/services and states

RIPE NCC Services Working Group Chair Selection Process
The RIPE NCC Services Working Group shall have at least two working group chairs and a maximum of three. The RIPE NCC Services WG Chairs are selected for a two-year period, and one of the chairs will stand down every year. The chair not standing down shall make a call for interested parties on the RIPE NCC Services WG mailing list. Interested parties then have a two-week period to make their interest known. After this, the chair(s) not up for selection will issue a two-week discussion period where the RIPE NCC Services WG community can express approval or otherwise for the candidates that have expressed interest. At the end of the two-week discussion period the chair(s) not up for selection will call consensus for the candidate(s). Appeals will follow the normal WG chair appeal process from the RIPE PDP.

When we come to November 1st, Rob and Bijal will per the WG Chair selection process start the formal call for interested parties but I wanted to nudge the discussion to start so that interested candidates can think about standing and be ready for the formal call, as well as make my own intention clear.

Best regards,
