Andres says this well. Being chair is a facilitating role, helping discussions make progress, and gently pressing them forward to a conclusion.
I'm very grateful to Herbert for taking it on -- thank you!

| Hi.
|
| It was my understanding that Herbert would be the chair when I asked to
| be on the committee, and the fact that this question was already answer
| was a factor in my decision to try to help. Being the committee chair
| is less a position of power, and more a position of responsibility. I
| think we can be very happy to have someone who is willing to do the
| job, and I absolutely trust hvr to be up to the task.
|
| If needed, we can revisit the question over time when we have a better
| idea how our usual workflow and processes look like, but I don't think
| we need to or should have this discussion now.

| Cheers,
