to each design summit, with nominations due 4 weeks prior to the summit and
elections held open for no less than five business days.
If a seat on the TC is vacated before the end of the term for which
the member was elected, the TC will select a replacement to serve out
the remainder of the term. The mechanism for selecting the replacement
depends on when the seat is vacated relative to the beginning of the
candidacy period for the next scheduled TC election. Selected
candidates must meet all other constraints for membership in the TC.
* If the vacancy opens less than four weeks before the candidacy
period for the next scheduled TC election begins, and the seat
vacated would have been contested in the upcoming election anyway,
then the seat will remain open until the election and filled by the
normal election process.
* If the vacancy opens less than four weeks before the candidacy
period for the next scheduled TC election begins and the seat would
not have been contested in the upcoming election, the candidates who
do not win seats in the election will be consulted in the order they
appear in the results until a candidate who is capable of serving
agrees to serve out the partial term.
* If the vacancy opens with more than four weeks until the candidacy
period for the next scheduled TC election begins, regardless of
whether the vacated seat would have been contested in the next
election, the candidates who did not win seats in the most recent
previous TC election will be consulted in the order they appear in
the results until a candidate who is capable of serving agrees to
serve out the partial term.
