Yes. From NCSG charter:

"2.5.3.	NCSG?PC	Leadership

* A Chair will be elected or replaced from among the members of the
  NCSG?PC by a 2/3 vote of the NCSG?PC membership on a yearly basis.
  - The NCSG Chair may not serve in this role.

* One or more Vice-Chairs may be chosen by the NCSG?PC on a yearly basis."

While nothing more is said of Vice-Chairs, general principles imply
that Vice-Chair should have same eligibility requirements as Chair.

However, if I interpret the Charter correctly, observers are not
considered members and thus not eligible. (There is some room for
argument that observers would be members but not "full members",
but I'd rather avoid relying on such ambiguities.)

On the other hand it's clear that we could have several
Vice Chairs, if such a solution would help.
