Kawabata-san (and maybe Randy), So, can you support it if I will revise it as follows?
2. SIG Chair's term of service I would like to propose revising SIG Chair's term of service as follows. - Elections occur yearly. Chair elections and Co-Chair elections occur in alternate years (same as current SIG guideline) - If Chair election and Co-Chair election are happen in same year, Co-Chair's (or Co-Chairs') term of service should be one year as Chair's and Co-Chairs' term of service are staggered - If current Chair/Co-Chair resigned or was removed, the succesor's term should be remaining term of current Chair/Co-Chair Any thought?
