Dany,
I believe Rob Courtney also favored option 2 for the replacement "accession
of the AdCom member with the fourth-highest level of votes" etc.
I would avoid "unanimous" (it requires people to respond, perhaps in a
timely manner), but no point arguing, Milton's new words are acceptable to
me:
Non-voting members can participate in Constituency discussion lists,
propose and discuss resolutions and participate in all physical meetings.
Non-voting members have no voting rights in the constituency and its
processes and cannot participate in constituency Adcom teleconference calls
unless invited by unanimous consent of Adcom members.
OK to proceed as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks,
Adam
