Hi, IMO he's not clearly stated that he will stand for another year and yes the choice is his. The board report seems to me to be a good place to state that. When putting the guidelines together consensus was that the chair should be for a year or reviewed every year. There may be other PMC members who would also like to have a turn at being the chair.
There does seem some support for changing the chair (see the other discuss thread on that) but there's certainly not a consensus either way, up to Alex to consider and decide. Again I think everyone can agree he's done a good job and will continue to do so, but it may also be good to change and spread the experience about. Looking back to when Alex was voted in it was pointed out by the mentors that there should of been more discussion on who should be chair. [1] Now seems a good time to have that discussion. Thanks, Justin 1. http://markmail.org/message/3cljrqmwfipsq7zn
