CONNECT-WG CHAIR SELECTION PROCESS

• We covered this at RIPE68 when Connect-WG was formed

•  .. But we forgot to document it properly

•  .. and we couldn’t find it again.

THE PROCESS (SHAMELESSLY STOLEN FROM COOPERATION-WG)

The process for selecting a new chair is as follows:

1.  A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at least every three years, or whenever needed.

2.  Interested parties have two weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list, or directly to the Chair/s.

3.  After two weeks, the Chair/s ensure that all candidates are announced on the mailing list and issue a call for discussion.

4.  WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates.

5.  Two weeks after the call for discussion, the Chair/s declare a decision, based on mailing list discussion, as they would do for a policy proposal.
