[ripe-chair-discuss] RIPE Chair Selection Process

how did we come to this decision; the nomcom being the wg chair
retirement home?  brandy and cigars?

> This looks mostly fine, with the exception of the involvement of the
> WG Chairs Collective in the NomCom appointment process.

aside from process issues which you point out, this would remove the
chairs from candidacy, maybe not the wisest of moves, as a few of them
actually *do* things.

> There are other similar organisation structures on the internet who
> have nomcom mechanisms which work well, which the RIPE community could
> use.

the ietf's semi-randomiezed process comes to mind; though it is a bit
complex.  but at least it is not an old girls'/boys' club.

> I'm not able to support the current proposal

nor am i.
