specifically for the sake of those who have not witnessed its evolution.
This documents represents RIPE community consensus about the role.

Function of the RIPE Chair

    The RIPE chair ensures that the RIPE community functions well.

This one sentence fully describes the role, function and task of the
RIPE Chair. All current practices described below all directly follow
from this.

This is not intended to fully describe the activities of the RIPE chair
nor to prescribe the actions of the RIPE chair in any way.
The ordering is not intended to convey any meaning either.

The RIPE chair determines the location of the RIPE meetings.

The RIPE chair ensures that RIPE establishes consensus about how RIPE
operates, particularly about formal procedures.

created, chartered and disbanded.

The RIPE chair ensures that WG chairs are properly selected.

The RIPE chair chairs and supports the WG chair collective as necessary.

The RIPE chair ensures that the results of RIPE work are communicated to
other parties, such as the RIPE NCC, other organisations and government
bodies.
Note: RIPE is not formally represented in other organisations.
Therefore the RIPE chair does not formally represent RIPE anywhere.

The RIPE chair reports their actions to the community as appropriate.

The RIPE chair delegates their duties when appropriate to an appropriate
person or entity such as the RIPE NCC, a working group chair or a
committee, such as the RIPE programme committee.
Note: Between 1990 and 1992 the RIPE Chair delegated some of his duties
to a deputy chair.
