Kurtis,colleagues,
this is indeedone of the scenarios where the remuneration
arrangementwouldnot work.We should not put a specific way to deal with
situations like this in the document because we cannot foresee the
details of the specific situation and we do have the governance
structures in placeto take appropriate action. See below for a more
verbose version of my thoughts on this.

------
In the arrangement described in the draft, the RIPE community requests
that the RIPE NCC provide remuneration for the RIPE Chairs under the
RIPE NCC's own responsibility and corporate governance. The RIPE NCC has
indicated that it is prepared to accept this responsibility and in
practice it already does this.
The RIPE NCC could inform the RIPE community that it cannot provide
remuneration for the RIPE Chairs at any time and for any reason
including the specific scenario you describe. Given the governance
structure of the RIPE NCC this will not likely be an ad-hoc or arbitrary
decision. It would then be up to the RIPE community to evaluate the
situation at hand and either seek other arrangements for the
remuneration of the RIPE Chairs or recall them.
The specific procedure you propose to deal with one of these
casesrequires that the NomCom become a permanent committee which
requires extra commitment from volunteers; it also provides an obvious
and pre-agreed way for the RIPE NCC to influence the selection of the
RIPE leadership. I do not think we should go there.
Given the close relations between the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community
and the formal liaison between the RIPE NCC board and the RIPE NomCom I
consider the language in the draft sufficient for this to work and to
prevent accidents.

Niall,
Thank you for this. I think this is fine, but I have one comment :

The community requests that the RIPE NCC continues to disclose the
total cost of RIPE Chair support including expenses and any
remuneration.
This sets out that the RIPE NCC Executive Board essentially will
negotiate an appropriate remuneration for the Chair(s). However, it
doesn’t say what happens if they fail to reach an agreement. May I
suggest that we add some wording on this, for example that "if the EB
does not feel the remuneration requested by a chair is resonable or
for other reasons an agreement can not be made, this is to be referred
back to the Nomcom to consider if other candidates are better to be
considered or not” or something similar.
