We might all wish otherwise, but "chairing a working group" is really
best done in presence...

Of course it will happen that a WG chair cannot attend - and this is 
why WGs have two or three co-chairs.  But this needs to be the exception.

So, a WG-chair-cancidate needs to be aware that this will busy him two
weeks a year, and that this comes with travelling - but I do not see an 
issue with this in the current candidate set.  They all are not naive 
newcomers but seasoned DB veterans that have attended enough meetings 
to understand what will be asked of them.
