Nobody says RIPE PDP talks about “elections by consensus” **only**. And not
interested in self praise.

There was a specific argument which made folks to point  to “elections by
consensus” being used  by some WGs in RIPE region.

The example of the Address Policy WG can be seen here:

https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selection-process

It reads:

“.........
The working group will select new chair(s) at the RIPE Address *Policy
Working Group* session. Those present at the session, either in person or
remotely, *will determine by consensus among themselves who takes the
available position(s)*. The remaining chair will determine whether
*consensus* has been reached. If the working group finds itself without a
chair the RIPE chair will determine *consensus*.
...............”

Working Group practices including the selection of Co-Chairs are in WG
operations’ guidelines and not in the PDP.

Thanks,

Arnaud
