Yes.

We (as the WG chair collective) tried to agree on something, and couldn't.

While some parts of the duties are really similar, others are different,
and the individual communities of each WG are different enough that we
decided to go for similar basics, like "the WG selects their chair" and
"in regular intervals, chairs get re-affirmed", and leave the small print
to each WG.

Like, for example, the former EIX WG actually needed to have WG chair
elections since it seemed to be way cool to run for EIX WG chair (they
had like 5 candidates), while IPv6 and AP used to have "one chair, and
no volunteers to share the work" - so no need to specify a detailed
voting procedure there if you can be happy to have a single candidate.
