Hi Jim, full ack from my side. Cheers, Peter > Am 09.10.2018 um 16:27 schrieb Jim Reid <jim at rfc1035.com>: > > Colleagues, the selection process needs another nudge. Although there have been a few expressions of support and no objections, I’m reluctant to declare consensus because only a handful of people have spoken. I’d *really* like to declare victory so we can get on with the job of finding a co-chair. It’s uncomfortable to do this when the WG has argely been silent about how the leadership is selected. > > So could you please indicate your support or opposition to the following?

We're only appointing a WG co-chair, not the Internet's Supreme-Leader-for-Life. The WG can always change the suggested process later if practical experience proves it is broken or needs improvement. > > Note too that there is no mention of elections or votes.
