With a chair and an alternate chair, you find that the point-person is established and in case of diverging opinion between those with responsibility, you know who the tie breaker is. But it allows the two to work together and cover each other's tasks. What most often seems to happen is that they end up dividing responsibilities according to their inclinations and talents. I beleive it has the advantage that both other arrangenemts offer without the disadvantages.
This seems like a reasonable approach to me. Can you point to any examples in which the chair/alt-chair approach is/was used? Thanks, -drc
