Hi,
Well I have to admit that I have not been engaged in
this process lately. But here is a few thoughts to start
with:
> The most relevant points being:
> - Can an individual nominate themselves?
Yes. Otherwise there with be a limitation of nominees from
"remote" areas who have not been able to make them self
heard thru the years. But who would be able to contribute
to the RIPE community.
> - Does the nomination need to come from more than one person?
No. As long that there is information about what person
nominated who.
> To the selection procedure in particular at least the following needs
> to be defined:
>
> - Who performs the selection
Do You mean the selection of nominees or a Nomination Comittee?
The previously elected group would appoint a Chairman of the
Nomination Comittee ( NC ). The chairman calls publicly for
participants in the nominations committee, and receives suggestions
from the community. The list of all suggestions is presented
in public, and the community can comment on them.
Given the list and comments, the previously elected board elect
the NC.
The NC then asks the community for nominees for the ASO.
Following the rules set regarding who can be nominated. After
the nominees have been submitted - and confirmed by the nominee
- the list can be published.
The woting of the reps. to the ASO is the perfomed on the
annual member meeting - or a public meeting?
> - In what way is the selection performed
This is a tricky one. Should every member get one wote? Or
one wote per LIR?

I suggest direct on the meeting, or thru a proxy that is hold by
another member, or by fax. How the authentication should be
performed by "electronic" media I do not know. PGP?
Suggestions?
