[db-wg] Chair Selection Process Revision Proposal

This caught my eye.

It's not clear to me whether this means
a: one chair per year stands down and may stand as a candidate
   for immediate re-selection;
 or
b: one chair per year stands down and may not stand as a candidate
   for re-selection until some period (to be specified) has elapsed.

I think it might avoid future confusion if it were made explicit
which of these interpretations is intended. I'm not inclined to
prefer either over the other.

In case a chair is removed by consensus, will the person involved
be excluded from immediately standing as a candidate for re-selection?
FWIW, I should think so.

Again in case a chair is removed by consensus, will that removal meet
the requirement for one chair per year to stand down?  It seems to me
that, for the sake of continuity, this would be advantageous.

I hope this helps.
