Maybe my old eyes are failing me - but is this to add a WG co-chair to the existing group, or is one of you stepping down - and if yes, who?
Hi Gert. The object of this exercise is not to add another co-chair. Our procedure only allows for 2 or 3 co-chairs anyway. The intention is to have one co-chair in place by the end of this year who has been selected by the process that was agreed by the WG earlier this year. That selection process will repeat in future years until all of the WG's co-chairs have been appointed by that procedure. After that point it will be the end of the first term for whoever gets selected this year. So by 2017, things should just roll on indefinitely with one beauty contest a year unless something goes badly wrong. This means one of the current co-chairs is going to step down this year and may (or may not) make themselves available for selection. And as I type this, Peter's given further clarification on the next steps.
