That would allow us to run the appointment process and have a stuckee in place before RIPE77 (Oct 15-20th). If you have concerns that more time is needed for either agreeing a procedure or then using it, please speak up.

We're just appointing a WG co-chair, not the Internet's Supreme-Leader-for-Life. We can always change the suggested process later if practical experience proves it is broken or needs improvement. I hope we can just put something quick and simple in place that solves the immediate need.
