The problem is that the RDS PDP WG crashed and therefore did not work :-(
<div>
    <br />
</div>
<div>We have discussed trying something new at the Council level and, given how small the EPDP is likely to be, I think others are right to say we should keep the leadership to 1 neutral chair (hard to find we realise) and possibly 1 vice chair or a co-chair.
    I really don’t see the point in having a larger leadership team. We’ll only have 3 people on the EPDP, why do we want one to have to be neutral?</div>
<div>
    <br />
</div>
<div>I am not set on anything yet and can be persuaded otherwise, but above is my current train of thought. Thanks </div>
<div>

            <p>I think it works well when there is one representative from every (major) stakeholder group on the leadership team (co-chairs or chair and vice-chairs). That means that every (major) position is represented in the main considerations of scheduling,
                preparation, and presentation. This is how RDS works; and this is how RPM works. Otherwise, we wind up with situations like the Accreditation Groups with IPC as chair/lead, and BC as chair/lead.</p>
            <p>One chair and two vice chairs would ensure that the CPH, and both sets of user groups are represented. In the absence of neutrality (for there will be little here), balance is key :-)!</p>

                <p>Agree with Rafik, too. I don't see what is the big difference between two co-chairs and chair/vice-chair set up (as I assume they are interchangeable when one person can't be present at the time-consuming meetings for whatever reason and
                    they share the workload). I wouldn't favour the council selection - rather leave it to the group (or SSC, but I'd prefer the group selecting them). However, on the latter issue I'll go with any position PC develops - to me membership/size/participation
                    is more important because if the group is sizeable and manageable and -- as I prefer downsizing it to no more 3 members from SG -- the leadership issue is less of a problem. These two are intertwined, IMHO.
