Looking back on the original discussion I was reminded of how little 
consensus there was on the original proposals.

Are we happy that the proposal from the Nomcom is actually the one we 
are in favour of. Support for the three proposals in my original email 
seemed pretty well split amongst the three scenarios with maybe a slight 
bias against formulating a RIPE foundation to employ the RIPE chairs.

I'm still slightly worried about undue influence from the RIPE NCC on 
the RIPE chair despite all the assurances to the contrary from HPH and 
others. I know only too well how insidious such influences can be.

Having said that, it may well be that continuing to accept that the RIPE 
NCC continues to employ the RIPE Chair(s) is the only workable solution.
