[ripe-list] Mailing list for discussion of RIPE Chair selection

Dear colleagues,

When Rob Blokzijl stepped down as RIPE Chair, he asked that I put the wheels
in motion to establish a selection procedure for future RIPE Chairs. At the
last meeting I presented a proposal for how this could happen to start the
discussion.

The RIPE Chair represents you, the RIPE community. This community has been,
and always will be, driven bottom up and by consensus. Your ideas and input
form the foundation of what this selection procedure will look like.

Key questions for a procedure  are:
* Who can be selected as RIPE Chair
* Who will select the RIPE Chair
* How will the selection happen?

Should we have an election? Decided by a show of hands at a RIPE
Meeting? Evoting? A selection panel? A vetting process by the RIPE Working
Group
Chairs? Should there be a RIPE Vice Chair?

Your involvement and consensus on the selection procedure is crucial.

We've established a dedicated mailing list for this discussion:

ripe-chair-discuss at ripe.net

Sincerely,
Hans Petter Holen
RIPE Chair
