Dear MAT WG, as you might have seen on other RIPE WG mailinglists or experienced at the last RIPE meeting in London, all the WG's are coming up with a documented and transparent Chair selection process. In the past - the Chair which wanted to leave organised himself a replacement which was then accepted via humming or show of hands during the WG Session. This was not allowing people which where interested in becoming a chair but did not know about the upcoming change to run for this position. Also did WG Chairs tend to stay for a long time so there was not much chance for other people to become a Chair. The new process should solve this problems and also confirm every so often that the WG still want to have the existing chair as chair. My proposal for the MAT WG is the following, which is basically identically to what others like the DBWG are doing. 1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at three yearly intervals, or as needed 2. Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list 3. The MAT-WG chairs issue a call for discussion as per normal. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. 4. After two weeks the chairs declare consensus as they would do for a policy proposal This process would be used to reconfirm the existing chairs as well. Please let me know if this proposal suits our WG or not in the next 4 weeks. After we agreed on a process I will issue the first call for the vacant CoChair position. Best regards, Christian Kaufmann MAT WG (Co)-Chair
