Hi Nigel, I've the feeling that in part, the lack of volunteers is due to the fact that existing ones can continue in perpetuity. Also the details that we have in some cases 3 WG chairs and that means 1 less chair available for another WG. Note that I think that, considering that in other RIRs, there is a "single" WG for what it really is more important (PDP) and they are able to cope with the workload, this could also be the same here. May be a model where we have a single "policy WG" (all the policies discussed in the same list) and the other WG for non-policy discussions. If we compare the "actual" participants in policy discussions, among all the WGs, I think basically is the same set of 20 people. I think that tells a lot! In other RIRs, all the policy proposals are managed in a single "main" PDP WG. I've policy proposals under discussion in several RIRs, that precisely ask for 2 years terms, maximum 2 consecutive terms and then a minimim of 1-year "rest".

I would completely support this if there weren't already problems in getting enough people to take on the extra workload of becoming a WG chair.
