My suggestion would be to have the list members select their own list 
chair.  They should also be allowed to select the list monitor/manager, 
IMO.  In the past, we have seen WG's whose appointed chairs have 
submitted reports that do not resemble a list consensus.  That  has left 
a feeling of "no confidence" in the process.  Perhaps if the list members 
had the opportunity to select their own chair/co-chairs, the result may 
be more universally accepted.
