Hi Sander & Gert, First I would like to say that I like the idea of rotating chairs once in a while (even if it is going to be an extension of the term on paper ) .. And the proposed way might be a good start to look at it. Voting for WP-Chairs might not be the easiest to have them included in the current (electronic) voting system, as only members have access as far as I know to it to vote. However voting in the room (show of hands / paper), might actually not represent the community well enough. Having said this, I am always wondering how to and if I need to include our voting block in favor of certain decisions that are up for voting ... voting might be too restrictive on both options. As Filiz stated, discussing a persons reason at the microphone, why one thinks he or she might not be the best candidate for a position ... might not the be a fun thing to do.. However .. If you can't stand the heat .. stay out of the kitchen .. A discussion on one's personal flaws or having to answer his/her motivation on stage is probably the easiest discussion you might have to do as a WG Chair .. especially if a topic is getting a heated discussion ... I think that there could be a nice role for the NCC Chair on declaring consensus about a certain candidate .. based on the discussion and overall opinion / support shown at the microphone in the room. Overall, +1 for the effort on making this transparent and putting this into the community.. And +1 on the proposal. Regards, Erik Bais
