You said in your explanation: "The point of this amendment is to secure
continuous and effective representation for the NCC in the event of a
resignation." That is, the point is to deal with the succession problem.
As you agree, it doesn't do that, in addition to not curing AIDs.

No -- that is not my intention. I don't want to force people to run
with alternates -- it would mean an otherwise strong candidacy could be
seriously weakened if the candidate couldn't find a good alternate, or
chose an unpopular alternate...
Moreover, I think that the alternate proposal has been pretty thoroughly
dismissed, and I don't want to try to sneak in some ersatz variation.
Nii's proposal to have succession go down through the adcom is a simple,
common sense method that ICANN won't reject.
It may be useful to summarize the succession process for the other
constituencies:
ccTLD: adcom selects short term replacement; election must be held for
vacancy of 3 months or longer
Business: Not addressed in their charter, as near as I can tell
gTLD: N/A
ISP: Not addressed, but have staggered terms and elections every 8 months
Registrars: Not addressed.
IPC: President and officers of IPC pick a short term replacement;
election required if more than a 6 month vacancy.
