Re: [council] RE: Amended Motion to Approve Plan for Bicameral Council Seat Transition
Adrian's suggestion makes a lot of sense. Let me push it a little further and add one of my own... Electing both the chair and vice-chairs (in that order), on the same day would probably make the whole process run more smoothly. And electing the chair before the vice-chairs reduces the likelihood of the Council failing to complete that election.
