Dear colleagues,

When Rob Blokzijl stepped down as RIPE Chair, he asked that I put
the wheels in motion to establish a selection procedure for future
RIPE Chairs. At the last meeting I presented a proposal for how this
could happen to start the discussion.

The RIPE Chair represents you, the RIPE community. This community
has been, and always will be, driven bottom up and by consensus. Your
ideas and input form the foundation of what this selection procedure
will look like.

Key questions for a procedure  are:
* Who can be selected as RIPE Chair
* Who will select the RIPE Chair * How will the selection happen?

Should we have an election? Decided by a show of hands at a RIPE
Meeting? Evoting? A selection panel? A vetting process by the RIPE
Working Group
Chairs? Should there be a RIPE Vice Chair?

Your involvement and consensus on the selection procedure is crucial.

We've established a dedicated mailing list for this discussion:
