Hi Gordon, the number of 2 co-chairs was agreed upon when defining the chair selection process at the time the working group was founded:
(1) The IoT WG will have 2 co-chairs who serve staggered 2-year terms. (2) A co-chair cannot serve more than 3 consecutive terms. (3) Each year, the co-chair whose term is up will stand down and subject to (2) may make themselves available for re-appointment. (4) The incoming co-chair will be chosen by the WG using consensus and the remaining co-chair will make the consensus determination. (5) Any circumstances not covered by the above will be resolved by the RIPE Chair whose decision will be final.
(1) is not shown on the IoT working group page at the RIPE website. To change the number of co-chairs the working group would need to reach a consensus on that matter (Jim / Sandoche please correct me if I’m wrong). - Peter

A question for the current co-chairs: do we need only one new co-chair? Can we not have two?
I would guess that there is a formal, administrative answer out there. But a response from the current co-chairs could be useful.

Since I got a comment, I am adding one more information. This reminder is only for members who have not already expressed support for the WG Co-Chair appointment in the list.
