Although I very much doubt anyone would want to refuse an offer of help from a prospective Editorial Assistant, shouldn't the appointments be formally made by the Working Group rather than by the Chairs ? We are supposed to be consensus-based, are we not ? The W3C Process says that Editors are appointed by the Chairs: "Every technical report published as part of the technical report development process is edited by one or more editors appointed by a Working Group Chair. " <http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#DocumentsGeneral> We consider Editorial Assistants to be part of an Editorial team and therefore appointing them is per-Process a Chair responsibility. Advice on the topic is welcome, including third-party nominations, but please send these privately as I am not sure a public discussion of a specific person's qualifications would be healthy for the WG.
