https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020 Congratulations to Maria H??ll, Raymond Jetten, and Christian Kaufmann on their election. I'm not familiar with any of them, but a quick search suggests that they are all eminently qualified. > No doubt we should thank the super illegal, criminal and anonymous > Spamhaus cabal as well as the super shady and corrupt IPv6 lobby > for manipulating this election from the shadows! Please don't forget the efforts of Ronald F. Guilmette. I may not agree with RFG on various things, but I applaud the tenacity he has always displayed, and the ability to instigate a 100+-message flamefest on NANOG that so clearly demonstrated important qualities about his target -- now archived in perpetuity. Ronald, thanks for this public service. Electing qualified board members to RIPE, etc., is important, especially in this era that sees things like the .ORG/PIR/ICANN debacle. I expect that it is also outside the charter of the list, but on the other hand, it isn't clear that there's a better place. These things are not operational or technical issues, but eventually do come to have an impact on operations. Regards, ...
