All - during today's conf call the issue briefly arose whether or not this TF would need - at least: be better off - with a new co-chair - now, that Filiz has unfortunately resigned from her position. I took the task to start a short opinion poll on the list. Amongst the pros is that co-chairs by definition are mutual stand-ins to each other - which is a major design principle anyway. Amongst the cons is the idea that this TF has a rather short term best-before-date anyway - so there might not be an urgent need to have a co-chair to ensure mission accomplishment. My point of view is that although I do not believe that a co-chair is conditio sine qua non, I'd feel slightly better if there would be one. And if even only to do the chairing in case William needs to be absent from a call for whatever reason. Best, -C.

My point of view: I have no particular view on whether we should have a co-chair, happy as we are, at least until it looks like a second pair of hands is needed. But I'm not bought into the idea that this taskforce needs to wrap up in six months. I think we have a job of work to do, and we need to continue until it's done. If it is done in six months, then fine, but I suspect it will take longer than that, and possibly considerably longer. Malcolm
