Preliminaries & Agenda Setting

Jan welcomed all present and noted that a quorum was present and that sufficient voting members were present to proceed with candidate selection.

Jan pointed out the draft agenda contained in version 0.1 of the minutes as circulated and available on the collab server. He asked whether there were any suggestions for changes to the agenda. There were none.

1. Candidate Selection

Jan asked whether the committee was ready to discuss candidate selection.

The committee felt that after receiving copious input at RIPE90 and after a lot of informal discussion it was ready to start candidate selection.

Details of candidate selection discussions are confidential to the committee and therefore will not be published nor minuted.

After a thorough discussion the voting members of the committee decided unanimously without abstentions to select Mirjam Kühne as RIPE Chair and Anna Wilson as RIPE Vice Chair.

Jan asked the liaisons and advisor for any comments and all expressed their satisfaction with a well executed process.

Jan said that he would convey the results of the vote to the RIPE NCC executive board for confirmation. He asked all members of the committee to treat this as confidential until the RIPE NCC executive board has confirmed the selection and all nominees have been informed. After all nominees have been informed, the public announcement will be published on the RIPE community mailing list by the NomCom.

2. Review of Time Line and Next Actions

The committee reviewed the time line and noted that it achieved a consensus selection well ahead of the time line.

Daniel said that he would edit the final report in the coming weeks and that he welcomed further input, especially suggested text. The document remains available to all on the collab server. He added that his aim was to put a final version up for approval by the committee before the summer holiday period.

3. Feedback to Committee and Chair

Jan asked how everything went so far and everybody thanked him for his excellent leadership.

Closing

The chair closed the meeting at 12:36 CEST.
