[Clause 5.2] I don't have a particular problem with this, but equally I don't see why it should be considered important enough to spend time and effort on in the twilight of Quanta's existence. > The rest of the resolution covers any situations to avoid all the > committee members standing down at the same time and to decide who's > turn it is to stand down at any given point in time. [Clauses 5.3 - 5.4] But in doing so it creates the situation where a malicious/misguided/ incompetent officer (or group of officers) has 3 years to reek havoc! [Clauses 5.5 - 5.6] If taken literally, it could also force a committee member to stay on against their will! This is typical committee nonsense - attempt to solve a "problem" that no-one is worried about and create a much worse problem in the process!
