FWIW, a plain english reading of the words there limits the boards authority to do so to only those policies regarding the management of internet number resources and would not include the management of the policy development process or the policy development working group itself.
One has to stretch that rule quite far in order to extend it to envelop either, let alone both of those other categories which is what would be necessary for the board to appoint co-chairs.
It’s pretty explicit in the current policy that the working group is to select new co-chairs.
