Q: So someone can be vice chair twice and chair twice. It explicitly mentions "selected twice for their current role", so a vice-chair who becomes chair at some point is still only selected to be vice-chair once, and can therefore still be selected two times as chair. If that's not what we want then we need to change this a bit. > It does not matter whether or not the terms are consecutive. > > Term > > The RIPE Chair and RIPE Vice Chair serve > until the RIPE meeting closest to > the fifth anniversary of taking on their role. > > > Nominations > > Around the fourth anniversary of taking on their role the RIPE Chair starts > the new selection procedure by initiating the establishment of the > selection committee, > making a call for nominations and setting a deadline for nominations > about eight weeks prior to the subsequent RIPE meeting, > the consultation RIPE meeting. > > The SelCom checks the eligibility of the nominated persons, > confirms whether the nominated persons wish to serve > and publishes the list of nominees willing to serve > no later than 2 weeks prior to the consultation RIPE meeting. > > > Community Consultation > > The SelCom actively solicits input from the entire community. > It does so as much as possible in an open and transparent manner while > adequately protecting personal information about the candidates. > > > Selection > > The SelCom then selects one person to serve as RIPE Chair and > another person to serve as RIPE Vice Chair. > The SelCom announces their selections no later than two weeks prior > to the following meeting, the transition RIPE meeting. > > > Transition > > At the transition RIPE meeting the newly selected persons take on their > roles. > > > Continuity > > In case the RIPE Chair resigns the RIPE Vice Chair takes on the role of > RIPE Chair and promptly initiates this selection procedure. > In case the RIPE Vice Chair is not available either, > the WG chairs collective selects a person to act as interim RIPE Chair and > initiates this selection procedure. > > In case the RIPE Vice Chair resigns the RIPE Chair selects a person to > fill the role in consultation with the WG chairs collective.
