- Options for interim/temporary co-chair in Kyoto - Lynn
- For the DESD meeting, DESD DMPs explicitly state that for quorum, the "chair (or designate) and Co-chairs representing at least half the constituents must be present". This clearly allows for a 'designated chair' for the DESD meeting.
- For the TSC meeting,
- Option: do nothing, i.e. plan to achieve quorum without representation by one SD. The TSC DMPs define quorum as the "chair (or designate) and at least five other TSC members must be present, including at least two of the four elected Steering Division representatives". This definition could be strictly interpreted as a "TSC Member" must be an "elected Steering Division representative (or their alternate)".
- Option: Add an ad-hoc member to the TSC for a short duration. The GOM allows the provision that "Should the TSC identify an imbalance or the need for specific expertise, they may vote to include an ad hoc member to correct the situation." The ad hoc member’s term is at the discretion of the TSC (up to two years), so could theoretically last only one week if needed. This ad-hoc member counts towards quorum but not as one of the two required SD reps.
- Option: Add a time-limited proxy clause to the TSC DMPs. We could change the DMPs (a reusable mechanism) to allow for a proxy to represent the SD. The DESD would have to elect Jim as their proxy or ad-hoc rep.
