[RZERC] RZERC Membership Appointment & Chair Election Update

[Russ Mundy]

Folks,

I think this revised approach is excellent and I strongly support it.

With respect to the lapse in having a Chair, I support 1) Duane interim Chair through 24 Feb 20.

This is just about 90 days and we think it will give the appointing organizations enough time for any internal procedures that need to take place in order to elect a new representative or confirm the current representative.

We could address this lapse in two ways: 1) make Duane an interim Chair till 24 February, or 2) continue the period without the chair.
