[routing-wg] RIPE NCC Executive Board election

Greetings all,

I know that all is not right with the world right now, and that most of
you, like me, have much more pressing things on your minds right now, but
someone just sent me the following link and I cannot exactly ignore it:

https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/confirmed-candidates

I would like to call everyone's attention to the last of the three candidates
who have, it seems, "qualified" as candidates for open seats of the RIPE NCC
Executive Board.

As I have already said, I know that things are bad in the world right now,
but I must ask this question:  Is there really no one other than these
three candidates who is willing and/or able to stand for the three open
seats on the RIPE NCC Executive board... three open seats that will be
voted on at the next general meeting, 13-15 May 2020 ?

If not, then it seems that RIPE NCC will soon be following in the new
tradition, established first by AFRINIC only last year, of placing well
and widely known crooks on it board.

I desperately hope it won't come to that, but that is not for me to decide.

The decision is in your hands dear friends.


Regards,
rfg
