I'm not sure it was an opportunity missed. If I understand the situation correctly (and maybe I don't), it wasn't possible, according to the rules. And Julia is absolutely right, that the rules can't just be set aside because they are inconvenient at a particular point. Having said that, I fully agree that Colin should be honoured in whatever way may be possible. If it is still possible for him to be President at this stage, within the rules, I'd be all for it. I do feel a bit sorry for the lady who's already been asked, though.

May I be naughty and ask people reading this to email me if they too think it was an opportunity missed to overlook Colin for this position.
