[ripe-list] RIPE NomCom Deadline Extended

Dear colleagues,

We have received 30 volunteers for the RIPE NomCom so far. This is a
great start, but I believe we can do better. Therefore, after consulting
with the RIPE Chair and the RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman, I am
extending the deadline for volunteering by two weeks, until

     Sunday, 1 December 2019 .

The NomCom plays an essential role in the self-governance of our
community by selecting the RIPE Chair and Vice Chair. As such, it is
important that the NomCom members are selected from a diverse pool of
initial volunteers. As this is a new process, we also need to ensure
that everyone is aware of what the NomCom does and how its members are
randomly selected.

We have had excellent leadership from both Rob and Hans Petter to date,
but RIPE cannot rely on good fortune to ensure this remains the case.
If you consider yourself a member of this community, please support
the process - either by volunteering yourself or encouraging others to
step forward as potential NomCom members.

For details see the message below.

Chair of the 2019-2020 RIPE NomCom

Dear RIPE Participant,

RIPE will choose its next chair and a vice chair by way of a nominations 
committee. Ten volunteers, randomly selected from the community, will 
make that choice with the help of the whole community. These ten people 
plus a number of non-voting liaisons and advisors will form the NomCom. 
The NomCom will start to work around January 2020 and make its selection 
soon after the next RIPE meeting in May of that year. The job of the 
NomCom is to select people who have what it takes and also have the 
support of the community.

As chair of the 2019-2020 Nomcom, my job is to organise the work and 
help the volunteers with making their choice. Therefore I call on you to 
volunteer. Ideally we are looking for about 100 volunteers representing 
a broad range of RIPE participants. Ten of those people will be randomly 
selected to serve on the NomCom. To qualify for serving as a voting 
volunteer you have to have attended three of the five most recent RIPE 
meetings up to the meeting taking place this week in Rotterdam.

For details about the procedures and duties of the NomCom you may refer 
to documents ripe-727 and ripe-728.

The deadline for volunteering is Sunday November 10th 2019.

The only way to volunteer is by using the form at
