I agree. I would like to write this down and I think you just did a great job in doing so. > I suggest that : > > - If this is not the view of the community as a whole, then, in any > case, this working group is not the place to discuss far-reaching > community structure policy ! My goal is foremost to define how we want to approach the working group chair selection process in the ipv6 wg. I deliberately want to hear how we are supposed to do this from our community as opposed to me just proposing yet another ad-hoc process that is based on how we did it in the past or some other random working group. After that, I would like to bring up the same topic for RIPE as a whole as I believe it would be a waste to repeat this excersize over and over again (this would obviously not be a topic for the ipv6 working group alone). Note that I mentioned in my first mail, that I believe that it is useful to write down the principles, but that the actual implementation could be different as long as we follow certain minimum standards of openness and transparency. > - If there is consensus to appoint a co-chair, we should ask interested parties to inform the current chair. > If there is one interested party, and the community agree consensus to proceed, then we have a new co-chair. > Where there are several people wishing to stand and no community consensus to proceed with one, we may wish to hold an election _in this instance_ to select our new chair. > > This is broadly what I recall the process was when I stood for eix-wg co-chair. I personally like several aspects of how the eix working group approached this and I am certainly interested to duplicate this (and write it down). David Kessens ---
