I’d recommend it even for relatively small groups - in that case, the Chair can do most of the work of leadership, but if the chair needs to make a difficult decision (such as to move on in the face of determined intransigence) they are able to do so with some authority. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">David</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 20 Jun 2018, at 8:01 am, Ayden Férdeline <<a href="mailto:icann@ferdeline.com" class="">icann@ferdeline.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">I am okay with just a Chair. Maybe a vice chair too, though I worry that would result in a stakeholder imbalance and might even be unnecessary. Given how small the membership of the EPDP is likely to be, we do not want too large a leadership team - 1
co-chair per SG, and what’s the point of even having members? ;-)</div>

Selection by the team itself is fine. appointment by council has its own merit but I think that may lead to over-engineered solution and spending time in process (e.g. shall we delegate to SSC?).</font>
