that can be decided in a vote Jeff, not dictated by a member of the list.

Joop and all,

NO Vice chair.  CO-Chair.

The first vote established that people still wanted an election. The
various options were barely discussed prior .
The consideration of a replacement chair (wrongly named co-chair) actually
came up after the vote was already up when someone remembered how WG -E had
floundered when the chair walked away. The comment box served usefully to
gather additional options. This time we can be more exhaustive and there is
no need for an "others,..describe"


FoIlowing the discussed options may I propose:

1. Elect one neutral Chair to facilitate the debate.
2. Elect a neutral Chair to facilitate the debate and a Vice chair to
replace him during absence.
3. Elect a Chair to facilitate the debate *and* to act as spokesman or
representative of the GA.
4. Elect a Chair and a Vice Chair to facilitate the debate *and* to act as
spokesman or representative of the GA.
5. Elect a Chair and a co-Chair with unspecified division of tasks and powers.

Until there is a GA charter that includes valid voting rules we can only
rely on reasonable common sense.
A reasonable time to vote.(5 days)  Non-voters cannot invalidate the vote
of those who vote.

Before starting nominations and election, we will also need some consensus
(and a vote) on election rules.
Please try to formulate some.


Let us all try to learn from what went wrong with icannatlarge.org
