Good.
We might keep this in mind when submitting the proposal to the Board.

I am personally happy with the chairmanship of Vittorio. Additionally, I 
believe that to have the ALAC Chairperson in the WGIG gives more strength to 
the message and visibility to ALAC. Conversely, to change Chairperson now 
will give a very bad political sign, kind of "we don't trust our 
representative in WGIG", and will put Vittorio in a more difficult position 
within WGIG.
The only problem is the potential overload on Vittorio, but this is for him 
only to judge.

That the workload is currently unevenly distributed, is also my impression. 
That means that we need to reconsider the way we function, but also make 
sure, given the fact that we have to make a proposal to the Board for the 
new members, that the incoming people be aware of the workload, and be 
willing to do it.
