I hummed remotely for two co-chairs and still support that number. After reviewing the description, I think that having just one would be too much work for one person without a sufficient level of official support/back-up from the group. Having three would be inefficient and they would be tripping over themselves a bit as Mary mentions. Best, Jon On Jul 21, 2014, at 6:13 AM, Joseph Alhadeff <joseph.alhadeff@oracle.com> wrote:
I would ask members to use the time frames requested to both comment on numbers as well as on the description of thr role. I would also ask that if we go with one chair we have some form of backup if the one chair can not make a meeting.

... In my opinion, I would ask the ICG to rethink on the issue of co-chairs. I think we need only a Chairperson to fast-rack our work. It is always very challenging to row the boat smoothly when there are several captains. Moreover, ICG is not a permanent Group.
We should cut down on bureaucracies of selecting three co-chairs with all the attendant "balancing" that must be considered in the process.
Looking back at 17-18 July meeting, you will agree with me that it was smooth, focused and well steered.
I will urge us to select a capable chair who can always call for volunteer leads on theme(s) and other adhoc task(s}. ...
I think Mary has spoken very wise words here. It is a pity that we have been too far down a rat-hole to hear her when she said this during the meeting. Maybe we can take the chance to heed her advice now.
I, for one, completely agree with her.
I also believe Alissa did an outstanding job preparing and running the meeting. We should we look further?
