It's possible I'm missing something here, but I can't see an explicit statement of the number of "seats". The implicit suggestion seems to be one, but I think this is worth clarifying, especially as most of the recent discussion seems to favour appointing both Marco and Shane as co-chairs. I accept that I'm biased here as I'm in favour of this solution, but I have yet to see a) anyone speak out against this result or b) any other candidates mentioned. a) is the more important point for me at this juncture.
This was explicitly left open. I saw some other comments that indicated that some people were interested in selecting more than one co-chair. After we have the full list of volunteers for this role, this determination can be made. However, as you already did, there is nothing that should stop you from giving a preliminary point of view so that people can already think a bit more about this point and it will perhaps help us to come to a quick resolution.
