Dear RIPE participants,

This year, a nominating committee (NomCom), with help from the wider
community, will select two people to fill the positions of RIPE Chair
and Vice Chair. As chair of the 2025 RIPE NomCom, I would like to invite
you to nominate candidates for these positions.

As members of the RIPE community, you will have some idea of what the
RIPE Chair is responsible for and what kind of person you would like to
see in this role as well as the Vice Chair role. Please think about
suitable candidates, engage with them, discuss this with your peers, and
nominate people who will have the support of the community.

You may nominate any member of the RIPE community for either position.
Self-nominations are also permitted. NomCom members and members of the
RIPE NCC Executive Board are not eligible to be considered.

Send your nominations to nominations@ripenomcom.org and include a
description of the skills or expertise that make your candidate a
desirable choice. Please also include a working email address or
telephone number for the nominee and indicate whether they are aware of
your nomination.

The NomCom will also be interested in your opinion about the performance
of the incumbent RIPE Chair, Mirjam Kühne, and RIPE Vice Chair, Niall
O'Reilly.

The NomCom is also interested in any lessons and observations we or the
community can take away from the previous NomCom and the first nominated
RIPE Chair / Vice Chair term which is drawing to a close.

The deadline for all nominations is Sunday, March 30th 23:59 UTC.
