Phil How exactly are you qualified in relation to both technical and operational topics? My understanding, which may be incorrect, is that you were in finance?

( Brett , Steven , Phil ( myself) + two others ) I absolutely agree these ST Leads will need be qualified in the ST topics Conveniently the Issues Report is subdivided into 5 key topics 1 PROCESS 2 LEGAL 3 STRINGS 4 IDNs 5 TECHNICAL, FINANCIAL , OPERATIONS. I would be happy to put my name forward to lead as VC 5 . I think I am “qualified” to lead on the technical , financial , operational topics.

Especially as I assume that the ST leads will be specifically active, and "qualified" in terms of knowledge and experience with relation to the ST Topics...

To be consistent with those guidelines, I tend to prefer that we adopt the following leadership positions : - A Chair (1) : duties defined in point 2.2.1 of the WG Guidelines - A Vice-Chair (s) : duties defined in point 2.2.2 of the same guidelines. The question will be how many Vice-Chair we will elect ? In the presentation that Steve made tonight, I understood that 38 issues were identified and grouped in 5 groups. I think it will be good to have 5 Vice-Chairs who in the same time can be each one of them the Chair of one Sub-Groups that will be covering one of those 5 group of issues. For the record, I would like to support Steven Coates nomination for a Vice-Chair role.
