[Internal-cg] Co-chair roles document for comment

[James M. Bladel]

Also support Alissa if she is available & willing to take this one.

I would strongly encourage two (no more) co-chairs or (as we¹ve seen in
some PDPs) ³co-vice-chairs².  As others have noted, this will better
distribute the expected workload.

Thanks‹
