actually, MultipleChairs only talks about the challenge of multiple chairs...

Actually, MultipleChairs points to chair/role.html as a starting point...

In my reading (and now re-reading) I see the two documents as pretty mixed. I see the first section of wiki/Multiple_Chairs as a better summary of a (single or multiple) chair's responsibilities than anything in chair/role.html

So as a flow for a new person, I'd like to see

  1. The summary of chair responsibilities
  2. More detail as in chair/role.html
  3. Considerations for multiple chairs (the rest of wiki/Multiple_Chairs)

seems like it would make sense to merge the two documents into one - the role of the chair(s), describing the things they do. I am not sure the historical arguments leading to the increasingly common practice of having co-chairs are as interesting, but as a footnote it makes sense not to lose them.

If I propose edits, how do they get managed?

I'll review them and merge if they make sense. If I need other opinions, I'll add them in the loop.
