Re: [ripe-chair-discuss] RIPE Chair Selection Process

how did we come to this decision; the nomcom being the wg chair retirement home? brandy and cigars?

This looks mostly fine, with the exception of the involvement of the WG Chairs Collective in the NomCom appointment process.

aside from process issues which you point out, this would remove the chairs from candidacy, maybe not the wisest of moves, as a few of them actually *do* things.

There are other similar organisation structures on the internet who have nomcom mechanisms which work well, which the RIPE community could use.

the ietf's semi-randomiezed process comes to mind; though it is a bit complex. but at least it is not an old girls'/boys' club.

I'm not able to support the current proposal
