My point of view:

I have no particular view on whether we should have a co-chair, happy as
we are, at least until it looks like a second pair of hands is needed.

But I'm not bought into the idea that this taskforce needs to wrap up in
six months. I think we have a job of work to do, and we need to continue
until it's done. If it is done in six months, then fine, but I suspect
it will take longer than that, and possibly considerably longer.
