[rsab] RSAB Chair Selection Process

[Cindy Morgan <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

It is time to kick off the RSAB Chair selection process for this year.

If no one has any objections to this by the end of next week (2024-04-26), I suggest using the same process we used last year as outlined below.

Proposal:

 • Monday 2024-04-29: I send email to the RSAB list soliciting 
   nominations (or self-nominations) for RSAB Chair. Nominations will 
   come directly to me.

 • Monday 2024-05-13: Deadline to submit nominations.

 • Tuesday 2024-05-14:

   - I send the list of candidates who have confirmed their nomination 
     to the RSAB list.

   - I set up a thread off list (or on a new list) that includes voting 
     RSAB members, minus any chair candidates. Discussion of the 
     candidates commences on that thread. 

 • Tuesday 2024-05-21: I send out an e-vote. E-vote closes once all 
   non-recused voting members have voted.

 • New Chair term begins at IETF 120

For context, RFC 9280 says:

3.1.2.5. Chair

    The RSAB shall annually choose a chair from among its members using 
    a method of its choosing.  If the chair position is vacated during 
    the chair's term, the RSAB chooses a new chair from among its 
    members.

Thanks,
Cindy
