Note too that all three groups are different, have different roles and are selected in different ways. This is healthy. There’s no quest (yet) to apply exactly one all-singing, all-dancing appointment process for all of them. Therefore it doesn’t follow that we have to use one of those methods for selecting a RIPE Chair. I hope we settle on the right method for the matter at hand, whatever method that might be.
