The Team appoints group chairs, and it's not obvious from either the Process or the Guide how to give input into that process or help ensure that the Team makes a good choice. I suspect that the Guide is the right place to document how to give input, probably with a link from the charter template so people can find it.
@rhiaro's https://rhiaro.co.uk/2023/09/social-web goes a little farther to suggest that a particular new WG's charter give a set of criteria for chair selection and that the "decision making process and rationale [should] be completely transparent".
