FYI, the voting results for the three positions on the RIPE exec board were just announced and Elad was NOT elected.
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020 Congratulations to Maria Häll, 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, ...
