Keith,

2. There is a considerable cultural inertia within IETF that largely
dictates how working groups operate, and which is extremely
difficult to change. For instance, community expectations include:
- If there is a BOF held and sufficient constituency identified for
a working group, the working group must be chartered.
- The working group gets to pick at least some of its own chairs.
Sorry, but I do not think the last bullet is correct. To the contrary,
(quoting from rfc3710):
The AD, with the advice of the IESG, is also responsible for
selecting chairs for the working group which the AD thinks will be up
to the task.
Nowhere it mentioned that the WG "gets to pick at least some of its
own chairs".
Yakov.
