[Idr] New idr WG co-Chairs

[Alvaro Retana <[e-mail]>]

Dear idr WG:

As you know, John has been selected as a Routing AD starting next month
during IETF 110.  As a result, he will be stepping down as idr co-chair.
John: thank you for all the work and time you have dedicated to the WG — we
all look forward to working with you in your new role.  Congratulations!

BGP is arguably the most important protocol on the Internet: it pieces
together every single AS, is used by thousands of organizations, and has
been the subject of countless discussions.  It is simple and complex at the
same time.  The idr WG, as the shepherd of inter-domain routing in the
IETF, reflects the importance of BGP.  Thus, the WG needs to be chaired by
recognized experts in the field.  John has represented idr very well.

In consultation with Sue and the other ADs, we have asked Keyur Patel and
Jeff Haas to join Sue as idr Co-Chairs. Both are experienced chairs
(sidrops and bfd, respectively) and have significantly contributed to BGP
and the IETF.

I am adding Jeff and Keyur as Chairs immediately to facilitate the
transition.  The expectation is that they will fully take over for John at
IETF 110.  Welcome!

Thanks!

Alvaro.
