I struggle to reconcile our efforts toward impartiality with the notion of having the chairs encouraging a preferred candidate.

When I came aboard I had a lot of support from Peter, Jim, and Jaap for which I was grateful and that I intend to pay forward when the time comes.

If we want to switch out chairs more frequently than every six years we should do it in the rules.
