James,

JK>  No sane person is going to take the responsibility to do
JK> something without the authority to get it done.

Rather than debate your point, let me suggest that the question is,
then, what the responsibility of the chair is.

A very serious problem with trying to assign responsibility to the Chair
for quality, and the like, is that it _removes_ responsibility away from
the rest of the working group.

The chair is responsible for facilitating a fair, timely, quality
process.  The entire working group is responsible for actually achieving
those things.

This is not semantics.  It is a fundamental difference in views about
the role of the Chair.
