Hi Robbie, You can certainly set up a ballot now. You could also set up a meeting and elect a chair or 2 co-chairs as the first item on the agenda. The main requirement of the TC Process is that the TC can't do any work - meaning, practically speaking, that the TC can take any other motions or votes - until the new chair is in place. Maybe someone will volunteer to co-chair with you. /chet On Fri, Sep 22, 2017 at 1:13 PM, Robbie Gemmell < [email protected] > wrote: Thanks Chet. Would I be right in thinking we will need to set up a ballot now, once any nominations are settled, given Steve leaving the role before the next was due on Monday? Or would we be able to arrange a specific meeting despite that? If there are no other nominations then I will self-nominate, though I do think it would be better if someone else could take on the role.
