Agree with this; seems to be the source of my confusion earlier. Although I
do prefer the former text, because it allows the committee to delegate the
task as it sees fit, rather than having a constitutional dependency on the
secretary (sure, the secretary could delegate, but it's very explicit with
this wording).
