"we"? Who's that "we"? Not me.

Speak for yourself, Dave. It was never my goal and I think I'm the one
who originally started all this discussion on the election after Alex's
issue. My goal is to avoid a forced resignation, that I find a scandal
and have always found a scandal. Read it again: a scandal.

The prose says the issue should be solved before the election. So the
only way to do that is to make the extra seat's holder resign. *EXACTLY*
the original issue, the original complaint from Alex, my original
followup. It's totally abnormal to force a resignation from someone
who was elected, and it's a negation of ACs' sovereign vote.
The Member company that acquired the extra seat holder's employer will
force that individual to resign. Which is completely silly BECAUSE IF
THE INDIVIDUAL LEAVES THE COMPANY, HE/SHE CAN RETAIN THE SEAT BEING
UNAFFILIATED! Even worse, an extra seat's holder leaving the company,
but contracting for that company, will retain the seat... Ooops.

I'll do my best to block the current proposed prose, at all decision
levels. It's severely suboptimal, ambiguous process-wise, and does not
solve the original issue.

Well I think it should be the practice. So if it's really only
the theory, there's still a lot of work on the radar.
