FWIW my preference would be to have someone who has a regulatory/government background rather than a mostly Internet person. The former should have a wider set of contacts with the people and organisations we'd like to bring in to the WG as well as a better understanding of what goes on in government/regulatory circles.

I agree with you Jim that it is preferable that the co-chair(s) include at least one that have direct insight in public sector activities. The other should have deep understanding of it, if not direct experience. The Internet- and RIPE-skills the rest of us have plenty of knowledge we can share. :-) Patrik
