There seems to me to be a "constitutional" issue that has not been
addressed, and may well bedevil us in the future: In any collective
body, there is a concept of a quorum, which is set high enough to
ensure that the actions of any meeting represent the opinions of the
body as a whole, and which is set low enough that the expected level
of absences will not prevent business from being done.
The current crisis is (apparently) due to the chronic absence of *one*
member causing *chronic* failures of the IAOC to achieve a quorum.
This suggests to me that the quorum of the IAOC is too high to allow
it to reliably conduct business -- after all, any of a thousand
accidents can cause one member to be absent for a long period of time.
What are the quorum rules of the IAOC? Should they be revised?
