I agree with your proposals Wolf-Ulrich. I also agree with James’ addition on vacancies; however that element should be left off of this immediate action item of selecting Chair and V Chair. Perhaps we can put that on the f2f meeting agenda?

Sounds good. In addition to term limits, we might consider how to handle vacancies (chair, vice-chair, or members in general).
