[IPC-GNSO] Vice chair

[Greg Shatan]

>From my late night read of the GNSO Procedure and the ICANN Bylaws, this is
not expressly stated.  It merely says there are two vice chairs, one from
each house, with terms of no more than one year (but no term limits are
stated, other than those that apply to them as Councilors).

There is no provision for the current situation.  There is no "hold over"
concept as there is with Board seats, where the sitting Board continues
until replaced, if not replaced at the end of the term.

As a governance matter, the GNSO Council is likely better off with two
vice-chairs, but it can certainly function for a limited period of time
with one.

We are in uncharted territory.
