I have been following the discussion about the appointment of chair (I am nervous over use of the word "election") of this WG and think about what features I would like to see on a new chair.<br>
<br>
I must admit I think it is important the individuals being chairs are active in the RIPE community as chairs as a collective have a responsibility in the RIPE PDP.<br>
<br>
I further think at least one chair should be relatively plugged in and active in the general policy development process in the RIPE region (not only EU).<br>
<br>
And because of this I must say I am still looking for strong(er) candidates than the ones at the moment have announced their availability.<br>
<br>
I do understand Meredith want a co-chair given I not only initiated this wg, but also was one of the co-chairs for a couple of years. One do not want to be alone.<br>
<br>
But, we should appoint the correct people because they are the correct people, and not because we must have two co-chairs.<br>
<br>
I because of this would like to see more candidates before I am prepared on saying whether I think one of the today available persons include the one(s) I would like to see as co-chair(s). And as a result of this, I request the point on the agenda be to discuss the appointment process, requirements etc but maybe not the actual appointment.<br>
