Not that I am answering for Hugh, but I am confident that the elected
council will be able to take care of business during the absence of any
individual member (exactly the reason we have a VP etc). In addition to
that I am also very happy to be available to help out in any way I can
and to help answer any questions subcommittees or the new council may have.

Cheers,
Josh
