From eb24f3fa4728d9caed01e382d7e6bec1ea488d49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Doug Hellmann Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 08:14:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] add vice chair role to the tc charter We currently make no provision for the chair to be able to delegate or otherwise share their responsibilities. This change defines a new vice chair role to give us a way to designate someone to act in a supporting role for the active chair and to take over in the chair's absence so that business does not need to halt when the chair is unavailable.
