NCC Services WG Chair re-election process
Hello NCC Services WG, The collective of RIPE working group chairpersons has decided that each RIPE working group should have some rules regarding the re-selection of the chairs. Kurtis and I have come up with the following, we’ve tried to keep it light weight and simple so we can easily change if needed for the next round: The RIPE NCC Services Working Group will endeavour to keep two Chair persons whenever possible. Every two years one of the chairs will offer to stand down to allow new candidates to become Chair. The Chair standing down will be announced via email to the working group mailing list, prior to next meeting. Any community members may volunteer for the available position. During the meeting, the working group itself will by consensus establish the new or re-elected working group Chair. If for what ever reason consensus can not be reached or there are no new volunteers the existing Chair will continue their working group duties. For those interested in volunteering for a working group position, please read the description and responsibilities of a RIPE working group Chair, RIPE-542 http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-542 Please let us know if you have any feedback before or at RIPE 69 in London. Best regards, RIPE NCC Services WG Chairs Kurtis and Bijal

Again, as pointed out elsewhere, what about remote participants and others following the mailing list? Not to mention some of the other downside of only doing it at a meeting like peer-pressure, we could just as well introduce voting there?:-) -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE rogerj@gmail.com | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | roger@jorgensen.no

Following the feedback on the first proposal, Bijal and I have taken the process proposed in the DB WG and adopted it slightly. We therefor would like to have the following proposal updated and we will present this tomorrow. Under this the NCC-Service WG would select chairs according to the following principles o WG Chair term is two years o One chair will stand down every year o Maximum number of chairs is 3 o Call for interested parties is made on WG mailing list at yearly intervals o Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known on the mailing list o NCC Services chair not up for election, issues a call for discussion. WG members express approval or otherwise of the presented candidates o After two weeks the chair(s) declare consensus as they would do for a policy proposal o Appeal possible as per normal process Let's discuss this tomorrow and also here on the list. Looking forward to the discussion! Regards, Kurtis & Bijal
