I do not find this particularly helpful I’m afraid. This is neither a job description, nor a process.
I think you've been in close proximity to ICANN folk for far too long. YOU may not find it helpful but it is in fact a job description and a process. Other people have found it helpful.
And while I also don’t want something over prescriptive, I do think that unless we do away with the concept of a RIPE chair, we need to define it in a way that people can understand it.
There are many positions that don't have a written job description but are nevertheless well regarded, understood and accepted. Nigel
