Re: Chairman

[Stephen Squires <SQUIRES@IPTO.ARPA>]

I would like to second nomination of Bob Mathis as chairman of the Steering
Committee. This has the additional feature of someone who is clearly neutral
with respect to various issues, and would provide the appropriate kind of
connection the the various bodies with which the community needs to interact.

To facilitate the workings of the Steering Committee, I would like to suggest
that consideration be given to creating the possition of executive chair. 
The person in this position would be responsible for more of the internal
operations of the Steering Committee and be the recognized interface to the 
Technical Committee. As things get more organized, I expect  that activities
will be moving at a rapid pace. We need to have clear and high bandwith 
channels of communication among people with the time and expertise.
