Hi Jim, all, >> We've had ballots lots of times for the ASO AC elections. > > This is a very different thing from choosing a WG co-chair and it’s not wise to conflate the two. And yes, I know we vote for the PC too. That’s not the same thing either. Members of the PC and ASO don’t have the influence over RIPE policy-making that a WG co-char has. To be clear, I raise this only to address the concern about the "monument to process"; it's a simple process that's already proven to be workable elsewhere in the meeting. I agree that the context is certainly different, and the concern about disenfranchisement is reasonable, so I tried to address it separately in the subsequent paragraphs. To repeat: We should try to reach consensus first, with everyone who wants to participate. When we're at the point where we have to make a decision in the room, then without a secret ballot, the constituency is effectively those who are willing to speak at the mic. This is ok when deciding about policy. I think it's not ok when deciding about people.
