It's really not (and the above is an ad-hominem), and while I also don't
subscribe to the notion of having everyday life defined to the minute,
it did make me wonder what it actually *is* that a RIPE chair should do.

Turns out there's a handy draft published on the NCC's website, perhaps
that could be a decent starting point.

Similarly, this whole discussion was started by people raising
understandable issues with the current selection procedure. I have my
issues with the proposal draft for that one as it is, but 'as needed'
seems a tad bit underspecified for a community that claims to be open
and transparent.
