Thanks Mirjam. This helps. Glad to hear there was indeed a draft document on this. This draft addresses my comments about the responsibilities and the scope of this position. It also relates to the current "process" discussion with its content as: "Term duration: The duration of this role is five years after which the exiting Chair may choose to place him/herself up for reelection in the pool of qualifying candidates. " I have no objections to the 5 years term. But we may need to consider the purpose of the "may" in this sentence, "the exiting Chair may choose to place him/herself up for reelection...", as we are discussing a process. So with this discussion we may have the opportunity to both come up with a process for an election and move this document from a Draft state to a proper RIPE Document status. Where will this discussion take place during the upcoming meeting next week? Thank you Filiz On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 5:18 PM, Mirjam Kuehne <mir@ripe.net> wrote:

Hi all,
Some time ago we drafted a function description for a RIPE Chair. Hans Petter now asked me to pass it on to the list for further discussion. Please see the pdf attached. It is also posted here:

Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

All,
Is there a document which actually documents what the RIPE Chair actually is? Sorry if I missed it, I don't think this exists. Perhaps such a document would be a good starting point for the discussion?
We have a nice web page talking about *who* the chair is:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-chair
We also have a RIPE Document which describes what the job of a RIPE working group chairs, RIPE 542:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-542
Somewhat related, we also have a document describing the RIPE Programme Committee, RIPE 600:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-600
Note that writing down what the RIPE Chair is does not need to be super detailed, or restrictive. Hopefully it can be done in a page or two of text.
Cheers,
-- Shane
