  Joop is running the booth. I think we can do it many ways but first we should decide whether there is an interest in voting and having representatives. I think we can vote on both that issue and what kind of representatives, at the same time. (I suppose by simple logic by registration one indicates a preference that we do have reps) 
  I propose co-chairs of equal value to work in tandem at the GA direction.  And that their role would be that of spokespersons and not independent.
