        <div>I believe Paul meant an ongoing chair, as opposed to the
          temporary role he has been dragged in to serve issuing RFPs
          and so forth.   Not full time as in a full time job.  I'd
          imagine the chair's job to be relatively light but it would
          include ensuring that RFPs get issued, that the decision
          process proceeds in an orderly way, that the long terms
          documents on how to run the conference are updated, and that
          the committee is renewed. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The matter came up when I wanted someone to formally invite
          Stephen Feldman to join the committee (as we should be doing
          with past FOSS4G chairs).</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I prodded Paul to ask since I'm no longer formally on this
          committee.</div>

                Hi Conference Committee,<br>
                It would make things run smoother if we had a full-time
                chair, and I'm wondering if any of you would be so kind
                as to step-up and take on the role? Feel free to respond
