McTim, I meant precarious from a continuity perspective. here is the
scenario i had in mind:
Our only candidate who isn't familiar with PDPWG activity or its
running manages to get elected as co-chair....Paulos relinquishes his
seat which is also taken up by another individual not very familiar
with the process.........

I know the PDP allows for replacing a candidate, but this wasn't my
core concern; mine is with continuity, which is why the staggered
terms are in the process.....

If the situation I describe above plays out, the continuity clause or
any other won't remedy this situation. This is why I alluded to
"precarious"

Life is the educator's practical joke in which you spend the first
half learning, and the second half learning that everything you
learned in the first was a joke.
