I find the goals laudable and support them. I would however propose a different workflow.
While I understand that most people don't want to spend time on writing down how we select chair people (or reappoint them), I believe it has to be done at some point. This will never get done if we keep postponing this every time a new person needs to be appointed.
I disagree and I think the current PDP documentation is proof.
To address your concerns about time frames, I would like to take a 'running code' approach. Let's describe how we want to do this and do it. As there is no official policy on this, we don't have to wait until a formal policy has been established before we can follow our own plan.
OK, I think I already did put forward a suggestion. What I would not want is to have these 2 separate processes (in both time and scope, remember the general policy you are asking for applies to more than just the ipv6 wg) remain separate. Therefore proceed with them in parallel and not delay any for the other.
As an example, your text from below could serve as a good starting point for the implementation part. While you claim your proposal is the current 'informal process' it seems a lot more transparent already than how most current chair people got into their positions!
I won't make any comment here (though I am tempted to insert a "speak for yourself" here ;) Joao
