I like this document a lot, especially the bit about using pragmatism and common sense. We need to see much more of this. [ie Keep asking ourselves “what would Rob do?”.]
I certainly agree here!
One thing that worries me is the selection committee making the final decision. I think that has to be for the RIPE community as a whole. ie The selection committee recommends the candidate(s) and the community endorses that recommendation. There should be a cleaner separation of roles here.
And with this.
It might also be an idea to insert some text after the bit about the WGCC appointing an interim Chairman, say that stuckee’s term only lasts long enough for the selection procedure to run and appoint a repalcement.
However here you have a procedural issue. If we've said that the Chair and Vice-Chair terms must be linked, either the stuckee is in place until the existing term ends, or the Vice-Chair term is truncated. I would suggest that maybe this decision can be made by consultation between the Chair, Vice-Chair and WGCC, but we need to have something in place or we may end up with non co-terminating terms, which would be unnecessary complication?
