Well, this is what Richard already commented on - it was clear to us that
the chairs would be taking turns on this, so with 2 chairs, you'd serve
for a 2-year-term, and so on.  The next revision will be clearer here.

Also, the assumption is that if a chair is happy with his job, and the
WG is happy as well, this primarily serves to check that the WG is still
fine, and it's not intended to forcibly change WG chair every time, just
"if the situation makes it happen".

It really depends on the WG, I'd say.  APWG is more policy-proposal
oriented, that is, much more activity on the mailing lists and more
coordination with the NCC than more "meeting oriented" WGs where most
activity happens at the RIPE meeting...  but neither is truly hard for
someone who likes to organize stuff and work with people.
