For what it's worth, I don't want to see _anyone_ speaking on the
OGB's behalf.  The OGB members are able to speak for themselves, but
the OGB itself is inanimate.  All it owns are the results of the
decisions (votes) we've held.

I think having someone speak from the chair would be a poor precedent.
