My statement of interest
I am a regular member of RIPE meetings and I am interested in keeping up the high quality of the material presented in the RIPE meetings. I am able to dedicate a necessary time to work on PC, and I think I can be a valuable contribution to the panel (also Jelte has pushed me to send this email, so I can blame him :)). I can also overcome my hate for conference calls and attend them regularly. I am also able to distinguish my roles in CZ.NIC and RIPE and work towards a benefit of RIPE community.
