Just to document the changes, I see there's a third difference, which 
you do not mention, between the two documents.
"The PC members also select up to two Vice Chairs who aid the Chair as 
necessary."

further, the responsibilities of the Vice Chairs are:
"The Vice Chairs will work towards to ensuring active participation of 
PC members."

I also see that the PC has already selected the Vice Chairs, basically 
accepting the changes to the Charter before any feedback could be offered.

Isn't active participation of all the PC members the main responsibility 
of all it's members? Will the Vice Chairs have any other 
responsibilities in the future RIPE Meetings?

ripe-531 has already been marked as obsolete.

It's already published as a RIPE document and AFAIK any further comments 
would require a new RIPE document to be created. Not that I have any 
comments to the changes you guys have decided, it is up to the PC how it 
organizes it's activity.. I am commenting on the way you request the 
comments on the changes made to the charter.

You are requesting feedback on some changes that have already been 
documented, approved by the PC (which has already chosen it's Vice 
Chairs) and published in ripe-600 (thus rendering any comments useless).
