Dear colleagues, As outlined in
BCP10, one of my duties as President of the Internet Society is to appoint a Nominations Committee (NomCom) Chair.
I am pleased to announce that Benno Overeinder will be the NomCom chair for 2025-2026.
Benno has been an active contributor to the IETF and the broader Internet community for many years. He currently serves as co-chair of the DNSOP Working Group and the IETF Hackathon
and is involved in various working groups focused on DNS and RPKI. Benno was also a voting member of the 2024–2025 NomCom. Outside of the IETF, Benno is engaged in the operational community through his role on the DNS-OARC board and long-standing participation in the RIPE community. He is the Managing
Director of NLnet Labs, where he works with his team on the development and deployment of open-source software and open Internet standards, with a particular focus on DNS, RPKI, and BGP. I would like to thank Benno for his willingness to serve in this important
role. As we begin a new NomCom cycle, I would like to thank Dean Bogdanovic for his service as chair for the previous cycle and his continued service as advisor to Benno during this next
cycle. Finally, I encourage you to volunteer for the NomCom once the call for volunteers is made. It is a great way to learn more about the IETF and how it is governed and help ensure we
have strong leadership candidates. Best regards, Sally Wentworth President and CEO |
