Well, we could all try minding our own business. It may well be that we
don't need either a job description or appointment procedure.

It may never be needed. The time spent would be wasted in that case.

Could I make a suggestion:

1. RIPE Chair job description: Doing the sort of things that the RIPE
Chair should do.

2. RIPE Chair selection process: Selected as needed

Both of these definitions seem to have worked fine in the past and have
the benefit of not involving legions of amateur lawyers who might be
better involved in doing something useful.

I will now keep quiet and do something useful
