7 If wanting to be consistent with QA lead election process in GLEP 48
8 council would need to ratify / confirm the lead selection.

10 I'd prefer this over election by council in most cases, as internal
11 worksings within the project isn't easily monitored by outsiders, which
12 can be important in a lead election.

14 Overall I think something like this is a good idea, but note that if
15 Council disapprove of Comrel behavior, it already has the possibility to
16 remove a lead of any project c.f GLEP 39. I believe it is a good idea
17 for reasons of accountability as the council would, a priori, have a
18 stake in the behavior of a running lead.
