General support, but a few points which are not covered by the current text:
* Can you have three chairs?
Yes. We had in the past, but do not need three right now. Need may arise, if the workload goes up again (but this is arguably unlikely).
* For how long can you have one chair if the other is hit by a bus?
Well, "until the next meeting".
* How are new chairs bootstrapped in case both are hit by a bus?
The *RIPE* chair would appoint someone. Note that we can not have the *NCC* appoint APWG chairs, as that would make the NCC take part in AP policy making, which it does not do.
* Do chairs alternate in offering to step down?
That was the idea. I thought it was clear from the document, but maybe it wasn't carried over from the discussion.
** What if one chair is controversial and thus the other always is up for re-election? ** What if neither chair wants to step down?
This is both not an option. Chairs take turns in offering to step down, which is the whole point.
I tried to fix that (without reformatting to make diff'ing easier):
You're trying to overengineer :-) We might want to add a few words about "if there are any unforeseen circumstances, the RIPE chair will find a suitable interim WG chair", and clarify the alternating step-down. Besides that, I do not think we should be too specific about things. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
