Hi
While we establish the ways to formally elect a chair for this committee, could we have some sort of agreement for a temporary chair or we can call it moderator for this 1st teleconference. This is important in order to have a productive meeting.
Regards
German

I think we need to figure out what we hope to accomplish in "3. Leadership of the team" If we are simply choosing a chair for the call, then I think the agenda as is should be fine.
If we think we can choose a non-temporary Chair (for the year) then we may need to also sort out more details about our organizational structure.
As the proposer of this item, I meant it to be a comprehensive item on leadership: roles allowed within the charter, tenure, selection/election process e.t.c.
I appreciate the fact that these items may be prerequisites to the election of leadership for the team, and that as as a result, it might prove difficult to select/elect a chair during the meeting.
I chose to leave this item a bit open, because I thought it would allow the meeting the latitude to choose a meeting chair and exhaustively debate the requirements for choosing a substantive, or temporary chair. I thought this route would allows us to defer election/selection of leadership in the event that the requirements can't be satisfied during the meeting, without a problem.
