I like the light-weight procedure for (s)electing a chairperson.
Should this also part of the charter, or no... that will make it less
light-weight.  :-)

Important is that procedure is known, so thanks.

I agree, one day before makes it a bit short if you want to talk with
one or the other candidate.  So maybe a compromise like nominations
are accepted up to 12.00 pm or 3.00 pm on the day before the meeting?
