Agreed, except a one year term seems better to me...  Definitely
co-chairs.

Yes.  In fact I believe we will have divergent and/or competing
views within the GA.  And this would be healthy.  It would also
be healthy if the co-chairs would pose resolution questions to
the members on the GA list here, and than members can comment,
and or offer support or non support by voting in regards to
issues as well as procedures, ect.  Is this in line with what you
have in mine Dr. Dierker?

Yes as long as this does not get too frequent...
