Working group chairs rotation
Hi all, The collective of RIPE working group chairpersons has decided that each RIPE working group should have some rules regarding the reselection of the chairs. Joao and I have come up with the following. We're keen to keep it lightweight, especially bearing in mind the WG had been searching for some sucker before I came along to assist Joao. The RIPE Routing Working Group should attempt to maintain two Chairpersons whenever possible. As a large part of the work of the Chairpersons is in creating an agenda for the Working Group meetings at RIPE meetings, these are generally appointed by consensus of those present at a Working Group meeting. Each of the Chairpersons may periodically offer to stand down to allow new candidates to stand in their place. The Chairperson that wishes to stand down should announce that to the Working Group’s mailing list two weeks before the meeting. Nominations for Chairpersons may be accepted up to the day before the Working Group’s meeting. Thoughts? Cheers, Rob

I wonder if "up to the day before the meeting" is a bit short, in case you should end up having more than a single victim^Wcandidate, and the WG wants to decide based on individual merits, or so. But otherwise, "works for me" as a participant of the routing-wg. Nicely light-weight :-) Should you ever end up with a rush of volunteers, you can still make it more complicated.

I like the light-weight procedure for (s)electing a chairperson. Should this also part of the charter, or no... that will make it less light-weight. :-) Important is that procedure is known, so thanks.

I agree, one day before makes it a bit short if you want to talk with one or the other candidate. So maybe a compromise like nominations are accepted up to 12.00 pm or 3.00 pm on the day before the meeting? Cheers, -- Benno -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/
