Actually, the way I understood it was the wg charts “collective” would admin the process of putting together the nomcom (a process that is itself undefined at this time and could be, as I seem to recall some discussion, similar to the random selection of the IETF).
That's a material distinction.
Checking the text, it says "The RIPE Working Group Chair collective will be responsible for forming a Nominations Committee (NomCom)."
which is consistent with Joao's interpretation, but arguably ambiguous and was in fact misunderstood by at least two people here.
Perhaps a small edit, to say,
"The RIPE Working Group Chair collective will be responsible for selecting and convening a Nominations Committee (NomCom)."
would clarify what they actually need to do?
Agree, thats a better text.
Also agree.
Quick check... Are there a definition of "The RIPE Working Group Chair collective" or is it fully understood by everyone?
Well, I use it to mean “the set of people who are RIPE working chair-people at that point in time”. I also take the use of “Collective” here as a bit of tongue-in-cheek term by the native English speakers amongst us who, as tradition mandates, question and slightly slight every and any sort of structure. Correct me if I am wrong. Joao
