[rpd] Eligibility Criteria for PDWG chairs

[Fernando Frediani]

Agree with Noah on that.

Simply abandon the proposal and let form a WG member to *restart* it and 
follow the due process, not just he/she as an author to get out of the 
proposal.
And still in such situation if someone else, even without any 
relationship with the previous author (now Co-Chair) replays the exactly 
same version the now Co-Chair would still biased to decide about it.
That's one of the reasons I have always said that Co-Chairs should never 
comment on any proposal merit, even using the "hat off" thing to put up 
their personal views while their term lasts.
