There's certainly no rule, but there have been many cases where an
AD has raised the issue of potential conflict of interest - if a WG Chair
is a lead author for an important WG draft, that person can certainly
not make the consensus judgement. And I know that some ADs have been more
insistent on this point than others, especially if both co-chairs are also
protagonists of the draft.
