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.<br class=""><br class="">So could you please indicate your support or opposition to the following? Thanks.<br class=""><br class="">I would also ask the WG to avoid the temptation to rat-hole or over-think the selection procedure, for instance by proposing elaborate steps to apply in corner cases that in all probability will never arise. 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.<br class=""><br class="">Note too that there is no mention of elections or votes. This is deliberate.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">(1) The IoT WG will have 2 co-chairs who serve staggered 2-year terms.<br class="">(2) A co-chair cannot serve more than 3 consecutive terms.<br class="">(3) Each year, the longest serving co-chair will stand down and subject to (2) may make themselves available for re-appointment.<br class="">(4) The incoming co-chair will be chosen by the WG using consensus and the remaining co-chair will make the consensus determination.<br class="">(5) Any circumstances not covered by the above will be resolved by the RIPE Chair whose decision will be final.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Vote early, vote often. Well OK, we don’t vote but I hope you get the point. :-)<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">iot-wg mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:iot-wg@ripe.net" class="">iot-wg@ripe.net</a><br class="">https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/iot-wg</div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><div id="sig" style="border-top: dotted 1px #999999; padding-top: 10px; padding-botton: 10px; margin: 11px 0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 11px;" class=""><img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/tgpbappyzk8y5za/embeDD_mail_sig.png?raw=1" width="180" height="38" align="left" style="margin-right: 20px; padding-top: 2px;" class=""> <div style="color: #999999;" class="">
