Replying to myself, again...  Hey, it's been a long
night. :-)

One thing that makes me question how much real power
and authority has been delegated to WG chairs is the
fact that the "responsible AD" is always expected to
be present when the WG meets.

When I've run groups in companies, I've often held
meetings, even run major projects, without any
direct supervision or intervention from my manager.
But, that doesn't seem to be the case in the
IETF.  Is there a reason for that?
