Would a by-election be an option - with the TC appointment being a last resort? I personally think as many options for a vote as possible is a good idea. Is there technical / administrative barriers to a by-election? Also, something to consider - would the TC nomination be required to be an ATC in that Program? I assume that the TC would try and find a someone within the program, but if a program did not have anyone willing to be the PTL, should outside candidates be considered? I am not advocating yes or no on the second point, just putting it out for discussion.
