I agree that picking good chairs is essential (it is now too), but a w.g. chair’s job is not full time.  They only have to manage and review the documents in their working group.   The biggest issue with finding qualified people to be ADs is that it is essentially a full time job.  Finding qualified people to be w.g. chairs is easier and there is a bigger pool of qualified people because it isn’t a full time job.
