[rpd] Selecting WG Co-Chairs: Was Re: Can a Consensual Decision of the PDWG Violate the PDP? (was: Report from Recall Committee)

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello Noah

It sounds a reasonable suggestion.
I think with at least 1 Co-Chair we can get things keep moving. The 
ideal would be to have two in order to avoid one person taking decisions 
alone.

I think a good scenario is that we appoint one interim chair and with 
the person in place he/she works towards the selection of the second one 
as a priority.

Now the most important point is: do we have any experienced people to 
volunteer to server at least for some time and help the things settle 
down a bit ? Any names we can consider ?

Regards
Fernando
