Roeland thank you for your very helpful post here.  The whole post is full of
very insightful matters but let me just address one at this time

This looks to me to be the only way to get it done.  "a stipend for the
person(s) fulfilling the role of the Chair(s)
of the GA."  There would have to be assurances against directing the activities
of said chairs.

So then Roeland gets elected Chair, now someone would be able to gift to him.
If you get ten at ten thousand you could actually make it a full time job.  I
would rather split the funding between two chairs and also use more of the money
for expenses.  Or even a third that could actually act as a parliamentarian.

Sincerely,
Eric
