Yup. For at least one of my WGs, the chairs have already let me know that
they will not be able to make it to Vienna, and asked if I could please sit
in the monkey chair and do the button clickin' and mic wranglin'.
I've done this in the past, and can probably still manage it, but I figured
that it's a good opportunity for some others to experience a small bit of
what chairing is like, and so will either have someone join me, or will
have both chair seats filled with non-chairs....
