Please don't talk about "elections" in this specific context. We have to decide on the *selection* process first. An election is just one of many possibilities of selecting the candidate(s). Until we have consensus that election is the way to proceed -- and I hope we never converge on that option -- it is inappropriate to talk about electing the RIPE (Vice) Chair.
