      • President
        • external representation
      • VP Standards
        • Chair GFSG, support GFSG tasks
      • VP Events
        • organize OGF meetings
        • could be newly assigned per event, e.g. to local organizer
      • VP Liaison
        • manages interactions with other SDOs
        • could be split among multiple people, but needs clear mandate
      • Area Director
        • mentors a set of OGF Groups
        • guides the chairs of these groups
        • champions documents from these groups through the document pipeline
        • ensures inter-group coordination
    • AD positions should be allowed to double with any of the VP positions
      • we have a small pool of people
      • simplifies rotating positions such as VP Events
    • consider of promoting group chairs to members of GFSG -- i.e., auto-nominate group chairs???
