Only one. Pay more attention to the choice of Working Group chair, in particular
their non-technical, non-engineering capabilities.

When everything goes well, engineering excellence is all we need.  When things
go wrong- a WG gets stuck, goes round in circles, produces unacceptable drafts
and such like - it is non-technical skills that are needed to resolve the
situation; sometimes they are present in good quality, sometimes otherwise.
