This is tricky.

It's not possible (or at the least 'very challenging') to chair a
working group session at a RIPE meeting without being present.  Having
said that, not all co-chairs need to be present at each and every
meeting.

Speaking as a former co-chair of a WG, I know of instances of co-chairs
being absent from a number of WG meetings, whether it was through other
commitments, having recently become a parent, or just a clash within the
meeting.

However, habitual absence does force the work onto the other chairs.

If Denis believes he is going to be able to attend future meetings, then
I don't see that is an issue here.
