RIPE does not vote!!! Important decisions get taken by consensus, not elections.

It’s beyond stupid to talk about an election or use that mechanism when there 
are no eligibility criteria on who gets to vote or constraints on how often 
they can do that.

RIPE NCC uses votes. Which is fine. The NCC has a legal identity and a clearly 
defined membership which is underpinned by contracts and fees. The RIPE 
community has none of these things.

We already have. They’ve been built into the co-chair *selection* process from 
the start:
