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

[Patrik Fältström]

I fully support Alissa to be The Chair if she is willing to take the role.

The *only* reasons I can see to have a group of "other chairs" (regardless of title) is that we then _before_ we might need it have individuals that we all have vouched to be able to take the role if Alissa either need to delegate something special (I have no idea what it might be) or that she with short notice can not do whatever duties there might be (I have no idea what that would be either).

Because of this, I think we should have ONE and only ONE chair.

Then *maybe* a group of vice-chairs or whatever we could call them.

Part from these kind of extreme situations with pre-vouched individuals, I hope that the day-to-day-work-items can continue exactly as it has now, that each individual that feel they can contribute will do so.

We have a lot of work to do and we need _everyone_ to throw in probably more than the time they have available.
