I believe that most of us have had leadership roles, have chaired
meetings, lead projects and that should be ok for the present job too. 
 
AS for as I am concerned, some details below may interest the members.
-
Chair or vice-chair in my opinion is a leadership role and person should
be able to carry the team members together by establishing and creating
a good communication. He/she should be able to communicate his/her
viewpoints effectively and able to appreciate other's viewpoint. Should
have enough time and energy to spare for the work.
--
I was Chair of Editorial Group of .ORG Advisory Council (www.pir.org)
for a term in the very first year of PIR and did commendable work in
establishing procedures and creating background for future work through
online and face to face meetings and harnessing the talent of group
members. Later, I was Vice Chair of Policy and Outreach Group for a term
and helped the chair or led the group in chair's absence. A wealth of
information about me is available in Google search by entering name as:
"S. S. Kshatriy" (please note the absence of a after y in name.
-
I also played leadership roles in my non-com work with professional
bodies. 
I was Founder Secretary of Karnataka chapter of Indo-French Technical
Association and organised the chapter and its activities for future
work. Prior to that, the Association was centered only at Mumbai and
Karnataka was the first chapter organised in a full State. The work
required leading a group of professionals to organise the Chapter
activities such as Seminars, Workshops, meetings and visits.
--
I was joint secretary of Karnataka Center of The Institution of
Engineers (India) for 4 years and Chair of its Production Engineering
Division for 8 years. It will be too lenghty to elaborate the work. The
Institution of Engineers is a body of about 80,000 professionals as
Fellows and Members plus others like Associates and Students.
--
In my professional work in Space Research and other laboratories, I have
organised/created Departments and Projects and managed them.

        I appreciate the bios that all of the candidates for chair and
vice chair have sent to the list.  They provide helpful background
information on each of what I think are now five candidates, but in some
cases it does not provide me any information on whether the candidates
would be effective chairs and/or vice chairs.   In Olga's case, I have
been able to observe her in action, but for most of the others, that is
not the case.
         
        I would appreciate it if each candidate would provide some
information about what you believe the most important qualities of a
chair/vice-chair and list some experiences you have had in that regard.
