[Linux-aus] Presidential Succession

[Matthew Lye]

I would hate to imagine LA trying to follow a constitution that complicated.

I would like to see some clarification on James Polley's query about this.

By member does the constitution mean anyone... or one of the ordinary
members in council. If the Treasurer moves to President, who backfills
Treasurer? Can one person actually fill both positions?

You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision,
determination, and and endless supply of expendable labor.
