I would rather have somebody show up at my meetings who has delegated

hear that he's answering e-mail about all the other stuff he has to
do.

Fortunately those are not the only 2 options. :)

I've followed this thread with interest, but haven't spoken up because I
was not sure what the right answer was. I'm still not, but ...

I am opposed to the current proposal. However I think that the symptoms
Olaf has described are worth serious consideration. So I am in favor of
what several people a lot smarter than me have already proposed, which
is taking a step back and seriously examining:

1. What the chairs are *required* to do,
2. What they currently are doing,
3. and whether changes to 1 and/or 2 are necessary.
