Yes, I think having a vice-chair makes sense. Probably the role would be something like: 1. Serve as Chair if the Chair is temporarily or permanently unable to perform Chair duties. 2. Assist the Chair in any way that the Chair and Vice-Chair find reasonable. > When the Chair steps down, the Vice-Chair could automatically become Chair > (if he/she accepts).

So you think that the Chair selection process should actually be the Vice-Chair selection process? I'm not sure about that. It seems like being a Vice-Chair should be about helping the Chair, not just waiting around for the Chair to retire. ;) If we don't consider the Vice-Chair to be a "Chair in Waiting", the we can just let the Chair pick. That seems like the best way to get someone who can help out with a style that matches the Chair. > Either asking the WG Chair with more time on his/her record on that > role/group to step up as Vice-Chair, or run an election process if two (or > more) WG Chairs wish to become Vice-Chair on the same opportunity, sounds > acceptable to me. > > We can also strenghten this by requiring that the new Vice-Chair is > supported by *N* WG Chairs, despite its current time count as a WG Chair. > > I would also argue that former WG Chairs should be "eligible" -- > especially if noone from the current set of WG Chairs wants to become > Vice-Chair.

I don't like having a requirement for the Vice-Chair (or Chair) to be a current or former RIPE working group chair. Certainly being a working group chair is valuable experience for the role, but I don't think a necessary requirement.
