The chair would be elected by 2/3 of votes and meaning de facto here that I will be the tie-breaker. I don't believe that was the intent or spirit of the charter and I find it disturbing. My main concern here is whoever will be elected means the other party might not be happy with outcome, a normal human situation. This also means a risk of having a dysfunctional FC while we are trying to get this committee reactivated and step by step working on the list of activities listed in the charter.
