I agree that we should limit the power of the Team within the Council. In the AB proposal, the Team has 4% of the voting rights on the Council. I find it odd that the TAG wants to limit the power of the Team further. I understand the desire of choosing a neutral chair per issue. A possible compromise would be for the CEO to chair the "overall Council"; that is the central administrative processing of formal objections. That includes receiving the objection; determining whether the Team can resolve the objection [1]; convening a task force for the objection if needed (i.e. the Council for the issue); managing workflow; ensuring that the objections are handled efficiently; and ensuring that responses are handled appropriately. But, each individual task force can choose its own chair for that particular objection. Jeff [1] https://www.w3.org/2019/06/W3C%20Council%20guidelines%20for%20formal-objections.html
