Not necessarily.
The responsibility could be shared by chair and co-chair.
This was the original plan between myself and Harald for 2000 (like every 
plan I have heard of, things went out differently, though).

At present, this is not true, even if it would be a welcome change.
Of course, nothing prevents the Chair from joining the teleconferences using 
one of the listen-only lines, but there is no provision for active 
participation (i.e. with right to speak) except upon specific invitation 
(which did happen occasionally last year).
But I am sure that the NC will not have anything against the Chair being 
ex-officio non-voting participant to the NC.

Indeed. Including receiving appeals to the decisions of the List Manager. 
May include in the future the creation of SIGs, if we go in this direction.

Yes.

>>(5) Participating in NC task forces when invited to do so

This can be debatable.
Ideally, in a GA that has a core team of working people, there should not be 
a strict need for direct participation of the Chair: the GA could elect a 
specific delegate, or the Chair could appoint a delegate, depending on the 
importance of the matter and the time to make a decision.

Nothing else that comes to my mind.
