Scott,
Strikes me as a bad plan to ever have an employee of the IAOC
Chair one of its meetings, just as having a President of a
company who is an ex-officio member of that company's board
chair meetings of the Board, especially meetings that might make
decisions that could affect her. While I can't imagine this
being an actual problem with the IAOC, it could have a bad odor.
Suggestion: Let the person who has chaired the IAOC for the
previous months chair the meeting unless there is a problem
(e.g., not there) or conflict (e.g., candidate for another year
as chair) and otherwise let the IAOC select an interim chair
from the voting membership, using whatever mechanism they like,
and to serve until the new/incoming chair is selected and
seated. If the IAOC cannot easily reach agreement on who should
act as chair for the length of time it takes to hold an
election, I think it would be a sign of problems that your
document, probably wisely, do not address.
