I'd got that far, but the whole of #10 is headed "Elections and Appointments".Alex Holowczak wrote: It's an election; see 10.9.4 on your copy of the Agenda.
The only thing in #10 that is appointed is the Auditor.NickFaulks wrote:I'd got that far, but the whole of #10 is headed "Elections and Appointments".Alex Holowczak wrote: It's an election; see 10.9.4 on your copy of the Agenda.
10.9.2 and 10.9.4 do not include "standing for (re-)election", so I wondered if that was significant.

Never mind norms; it's rules that count - especially in matters of good governance. Candidates for re-election are not required to resubmit a statement. But you have never been elected to the Committee. You were appointed, presumably by its Chair, to a casual vacancy. That's fine.
