Yes, it was a mis-typing.  The IGC has always had coordinators.  To  
me, a chair is just  a coordinator that is easier to spell (i can't  
seem to type coordinator correctly on the first try), but I know that  
to some people sometimes the roles are different with a chair having  
more authority then a coordinator would.  The IGC has had  
coordinators from the beginning.  And that is the role I am thinking of.
