All,
Another RIPE meeting has come and gone, but I don't remember any discussion about the missing RIPE Chair stuff - either the job description or appointment procedure.
Honestly I'm not sure what to do.
Well, we could all try minding our own business. It may well be that we don't need either a job description or appointment procedure.
While there does not seem to be a lot of enthusiasm for this work, it seems like the kind of thing that should move forward before it is needed.
It may never be needed. The time spent would be wasted in that case.
Perhaps we just need to wait for the accountability task force to remind us that we don't have these things? Or do we need to declare the RIPE Chair list a task force so that Daniel will insist that we have a deadline? ;)
Could I make a suggestion: 1. RIPE Chair job description: Doing the sort of things that the RIPE Chair should do. 2. RIPE Chair selection process: Selected as needed Both of these definitions seem to have worked fine in the past and have the benefit of not involving legions of amateur lawyers who might be better involved in doing something useful. I will now keep quiet and do something useful Nigel
