I wish we hade a wide selection of excellent candidates. We don't. What we have is a limited set of candidates, all of which, IMHO, are likely to do a very good job if chosen. Responsibility of being RIPE chair is something that only a limited set of peole can (for personal reasons) and will want to carry.
Given that circumstances have changed. There is a chance of this being funded by the NCC, it might be a full time role - would we perhaps have had a wider set of candidates if that was part of the call for nominations (at least I can’t find that it was). There seems to be a number of changing parameters during the process - when that occurs I believe we should stop and think if we really need to press on or if we should let the variables settle and start when the full conditions are known. This is not a criticism of anyone - it is just an observation of where we are at the moment. - kurtis -
