Do we need two? I mean, the registrar constituency has the equivalent of 
three, but we also have a larger number of face to face meetings per 
year than council does, and also, a much, much larger number of members 
- the logistical complexity is much, much higher.
Might it make more sense to create one position and leave room for more 
in the future as we come to understand our needs and capacity more closely?
Again, I agree with the additional structure, it can only help. But I'd 
like to be deliberate and understand fully what the implications of our 
plans our. I'm not sure that we've adequately considered capacity and 
constraints to the point where "two " is indeed the magic number.

Great idea. We should put some time bounds around completing this task 
however. We have a habit of letting administrative design tasks hang 
around much too long. It might be constructive to assign an arbitrary 
drop dead date to ensure that we continue to move forward in a 
constructive manner.
