Yes.  We had in the past, but do not need three right now.  Need may 
arise, if the workload goes up again (but this is arguably unlikely).

Well, "until the next meeting".

The *RIPE* chair would appoint someone.

Note that we can not have the *NCC* appoint APWG chairs, as that would
make the NCC take part in AP policy making, which it does not do.

That was the idea.  I thought it was clear from the document, but maybe
it wasn't carried over from the discussion.

This is both not an option.  Chairs take turns in offering to step down,
which is the whole point.

You're trying to overengineer :-)

We might want to add a few words about "if there are any unforeseen
circumstances, the RIPE chair will find a suitable interim WG chair",
and clarify the alternating step-down.  Besides that, I do not think
we should be too specific about things.
