[ripe-chair-discuss] The RIPE Chair Selection Process - v0.4

I like its simplicity and pragmatism. A few small comments:

> General Time-Line

It is not clear to me whether the timelines of chair and vice-chair are linked, or whether they are/can be separate. In other words: are they both selected as a pair, or are their terms independent?

> In case the RIPE Chair resigns the RIPE Vice Chair takes on the role of
> RIPE Chair and promptly initiates this selection procedure.

I think this needs a bit of clarification (depending on the previous comment). Is a new procedure started for just the vice-chair, or for the pair?

> In case the RIPE Vice Chair resigns the RIPE Chair selects a person to
> fill the role in consultation with the WG chairs collective.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with this. Why not start the selection procedure here?

Cheers, and thanks for coming up with a good draft!
Sander
