Tom,

	This would be a bad idea as a general rule - though it is
(I believe) one of the things that ADs look at.

	The problem is that there are good examples of WGs where 
the chair was a key author as well and it worked just fine.  In
addition, there are also examples where a chair has had to step
in because (as is often the case when dealing with volunteers)
nobody else would step up to the task.
