NomCom Selected

The lotteries have produced randomness, and we ran the RFC3797 algorithm.

The seeds used are:

8 9 12 18 28 40   - Loterija Slovenije 15.12.2024
20 26 30 33 40 41 - Swissloto 14.12.2024
4 5 41 42 44 45   - Österreichische Lotterien 15.12.2024

Thus, the following 16 volunteers were selected:

1 <- 16, Jean-Daniel PAUGET, HOPUS
2 <- 38, Simon Leinen, Switch
3 <- 19, Wolfgang Zenker, punkt.de GmbH
4 <- 11, Dmytro Kohmanyuk, Hostmaster.UA (Hostmaster llc, Ukraine)
5 <- 45, Kurt Kayser, Kurt Kayser Konsultation
6 <- 10, Tobias Fiebig, Max-Planck Institute for Informatics
7 <- 12, Wolfgang Tremmel, DE-CIX
8 <- 5, Rinse Kloek, Delta Fiber Netherlands
9 <- 29, Matthias Brumm, TKRZ Stadtwerke GmbH
10 <- 39, Sandoche BALAKRICHENAN, Afnic
11 <- 26, Randy Bush, IIJ Research Lab, Arrcus, Inc., RGnet OÜ
12 <- 7, Vasja Križmančič, it.karsolink
13 <- 18, Benno Overeinder, NLnet Labs
14 <- 33, Clément Cavadore, Vedege
15 <- 20, Martin Winter, NetDEF
16 <- 8, Jan Sossi, 2S Computers

After running the random selection mechanism we discovered that Matthias Brumm from the list of selected candidates did not meet the selection criteria. Matthias registered for several online RIPE meetings but did not check in for them except for RIPE 89; thanks to Ulka Athale of the meeting secretariat for double-checking this. The procedure RFC3797 section 5.1 suggests in this case to keep the list of volunteers immutable and to skip the selected person.

Also, no more than two of these people have the same affiliation.
Thus 15 out of 16 selected volunteers meet the criteria for serving on the NomCom.

Hence the RIPE NomCom 2025 is:

1 <- 16, Jean-Daniel PAUGET, HOPUS
2 <- 38, Simon Leinen, Switch
3 <- 19, Wolfgang Zenker, punkt.de GmbH
4 <- 11, Dmytro Kohmanyuk, Hostmaster.UA (Hostmaster llc, Ukraine)
5 <- 45, Kurt Kayser, Kurt Kayser Konsultation
6 <- 10, Tobias Fiebig, Max-Planck Institute for Informatics
7 <- 12, Wolfgang Tremmel, DE-CIX
8 <- 5, Rinse Kloek, Delta Fiber Netherlands
10 <- 39, Sandoche BALAKRICHENAN, Afnic
11 <- 26, Randy Bush, IIJ Research Lab, Arrcus, Inc., RGnet OÜ

They will choose the next RIPE chair and vice chair.

In accordance with ripe-788 the following five volunteers are the ‘reserve’ and might be called upon to fill any vacancies in this order:

12 <- 7, Vasja Križmančič, it.karsolink
13 <- 18, Benno Overeinder, NLnet Labs
14 <- 33, Clément Cavadore, Vedege
15 <- 20, Martin Winter, NetDEF
16 <- 8, Jan Sossi, 2S Computers

There is a 7 day challenge period starting now. After this period the selections become definite.

In the name of the community, I thank all 52 volunteers for offering to serve. The NomCom will have its first meeting in the second half of January. As a chair I plan to conduct this process as openly as possible and to proactively inform the community about what is going on. Let us support the NomCom during this process by providing as much well considered input as we can.

Jan Žorž,
Chair of the RIPE Nominations Committee
