Finding qualified chairs with the time and interest
and availability is a non-trivial task. Having the
wrong folks chairing can muck up the work of a wg.
"Wrong" can mean too inactive, or not respected by
other participants or simply people who make the
wrong calls. It would not IMO be practical to have
a general practice of regular rotation of chairs.
