RE: Chairship / responsibility

| It was my understanding that Herbert would be the chair when I asked to | be on the committee, and the fact that this question was already answer | was a factor in my decision to try to help. Being the committee chair | is less a position of power, and more a position of responsibility. I | think we can be very happy to have someone who is willing to do the | job, and I absolutely trust hvr to be up to the task. Andres says this well. Being chair is a facilitating role, helping discussions make progress, and gently pressing them forward to a conclusion. I'm very grateful to Herbert for taking it on -- thank you!
