And here is version 0.8 addressing that and completing the<br>
acknowledgements. I suggest that Hans Petter calls for consensus on this<br>
version.<br>
<br>
Thank you to all who provided comments both here and in private. I have<br>
enjoyed the constructive and positive attitude of all who contributed.<br>

DRAFT - Version 0.8<br>
October 2018<br>
<br>
<br>
Scope<br>
<br>
We describe the role of the RIPE chair as it has evolved from 1989<br>
until the present time. We document current practice specifically<br>
for the sake of those who have not witnessed its evolution and<br>
to record RIPE community consensus about the role. This document<br>
will be revised as the role of the RIPE chair evolves.<br>
<br>
<br>
Function of the RIPE Chair<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair ensures that the RIPE community functions well.<br>
<br>
This one sentence fully describes the role, function and task of the<br>
RIPE chair. All current practices described below directly follow<br>
from this.<br>
<br>
<br>
Current Practices of the RIPE Chair<br>
<br>
This is not intended to fully describe the activities of the RIPE chair<br>
nor to constrain the actions of the RIPE chair in any way.<br>
Examples are purely for illustration and the ordering is not intended<br>
to convey any meaning.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair sets the agenda for the RIPE meetings and chairs the<br>
meetings.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair determines the location of the RIPE meetings.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair ensures that RIPE establishes consensus about how RIPE<br>
operates, particularly about formal procedures.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair ensures that useful WGs and task forces are properly<br>
created, chartered and disbanded.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair ensures that WG chairs are properly selected.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair chairs and supports the WG chair collective as necessary.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair monitors the work of RIPE and intervenes where necessary.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair ensures that the results of RIPE work are communicated to<br>
other parties, such as the RIPE NCC, other organisations and government<br>
bodies.<br>
<br>
Note: RIPE is not formally represented in other organisations.<br>
Therefore the RIPE chair does not formally represent RIPE anywhere.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair reports their actions to the community as appropriate.<br>
<br>
The RIPE chair delegates their duties when appropriate to an appropriate<br>
person or entity such as the RIPE NCC, a working group chair or a<br>
committee, such as the RIPE programme committee.<br>
<br>
Note: In the 1990s the RIPE chair used to delegate some of his duties<br>
to deputy chairs selected by the community.<br>
<br>
