[RZERC] Decisions/Action Items Regarding Chair Selection - 23 January 2017 Teleconference

[Steve Sheng]

Thanks Jim! Unless there is objections to this proposal, I will incorporate the following language into the selection procedure:



Replace:



8.In the event of a tie, a runoff election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, a special teleconference will be convened for discussion followed by a new online vote with the simple majority designating the new Chair. In the event of a third tie, a public verifiable random selection process (RFC 3797) will be applied to randomly select the new chair.



With:



8. In the event of a tie in the first vote, candidates will get some time on the next call to address the group, after which a second vote occurs. A subsequent tie initiates an immediate coin toss.



Finally, to Peter’s point about 1 year term for the chair. What do people think? My thought is that one year is too short, but will defer this to the committee.



Best

Steve

    Works for me.
