This combination of roles makes it difficult for a single individual
   to serve as registrar.  Instead, it is proposed to expand the role of
   registrar to include a number of individuals from the community This
   group of people would include the current registrar, the current
   standardisation group chairs, and a number of private individuals.
   The registrars may determine that set of individuals themselves -
   appointing additional registrars as required.


Note the last sentence -- the registrars explicitly have the power to
appoint new registrars.
