After seeing consensus emerging on the list and at the RIPE meeting,
I opened the last call at the closing ot the plenary.
I have however not done last call on the list, so lets leave the call open to the end of the year before I declare consensus and ask the RIPE NCC to publish as a RIPE document.

And here is version 0.8 addressing that and completing the
acknowledgements. I suggest that Hans Petter calls for consensus on this
version.
Thank you to all who provided comments both here and in private. I have
enjoyed the constructive and positive attitude of all who contributed.

DRAFT - Version 0.8
October 2018
Scope
We describe the role of the RIPE chair as it has evolved from 1989
until the present time. We document current practice specifically
for the sake of those who have not witnessed its evolution and
to record RIPE community consensus about the role. This document
will be revised as the role of the RIPE chair evolves.
Function of the RIPE Chair
The RIPE chair ensures that the RIPE community functions well.
This one sentence fully describes the role, function and task of the
RIPE chair. All current practices described below directly follow
from this.
Current Practices of the RIPE Chair
This is not intended to fully describe the activities of the RIPE chair
nor to constrain the actions of the RIPE chair in any way.
Examples are purely for illustration and the ordering is not intended
to convey any meaning.
The RIPE chair sets the agenda for the RIPE meetings and chairs the
meetings.
The RIPE chair determines the location of the RIPE meetings.
The RIPE chair ensures that RIPE establishes consensus about how RIPE
operates, particularly about formal procedures.
The RIPE chair ensures that useful WGs and task forces are properly
created, chartered and disbanded.
The RIPE chair ensures that WG chairs are properly selected.
The RIPE chair chairs and supports the WG chair collective as necessary.
The RIPE chair monitors the work of RIPE and intervenes where necessary.
The RIPE chair ensures that the results of RIPE work are communicated to
other parties, such as the RIPE NCC, other organisations and government
bodies.
Note: RIPE is not formally represented in other organisations.
Therefore the RIPE chair does not formally represent RIPE anywhere.
The RIPE chair reports their actions to the community as appropriate.
The RIPE chair delegates their duties when appropriate to an appropriate
person or entity such as the RIPE NCC, a working group chair or a
committee, such as the RIPE programme committee.
Note: In the 1990s the RIPE chair used to delegate some of his duties
to deputy chairs selected by the community.
