the job of a chair is to ensure that the business of the forum is done, in an orderly and efficient way.
Where is this stated?
From this point of view, an "active" chair is good, and to be welcomed. What isn't ok is when a chair decides to take a specific point of view and actively engages on an issue, on one side or another.
Where is it stated that a chair can't take a specific point of view during a discussion? Maybe a chair takes a point of view in order to elicit further details from those involved in a discussion on that point.
This isn't a "one or two vocal members" thing either. There is extensive and long standing good practice documented in relation to what duties and responsibilities a chair has,
Please point me to this extensive documentation?
and unanimously, this good practice mandates neutrality on the part of the chair.
Again, point me to the documentation that states that all co-chairs must be neutral in any discussion? There are a couple of documents on chairs responsibilities: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-692 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-765 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-764 Please tell me which part of any of these docs I am not complying with. cheers denis co-chair DB-WG
