At first blush, I'd think so, too (of course :-) But seriously, I wouldn’t want the deliberation of “who would make the best chairs” to be overlaid by the thought “who needs that support most to be able to participate”.

(“Do we need to split this WG/RG document so another one of the authors can be first on the other one and continue to participate.”) You see where I think this leads... Grüße, Carsten
