I fail to find any other reference to the role of chairperson in the proposal. Especially considering that a "reporter" is assigned separately for each case, for what purpose is a chairperson elected among the members of the panel? Is this necessary?

- In response to luap42's response comment that:
- > The purpose of the chairperson is to lead the "meetings" of the Panel / to organize it's work. It might also choose the reporter (or decide, how it is chosen), but that's within the self-organization.
- I propose that this should be changed to say that **the Panel itself determines its internal organization** or something to that effect. Don't impose any particular internal organization on the Panel unless it's actually necessary, *especially* by mandating that a specific role exists without defining at least its minimal responsibilities.
- If the Panel's "meetings" become so disorganized that it's not possible to hold them productively, you'd *hope* that enough people on the Panel would be reasonable enough to say "hey, we really need to have someone who can maintain order among us, because we obviously can't do that collectively, so let's pause this and appoint one of us for that job".
