It has been the tradition of the Council to validate appointments made by the SCC with a consent vote. While it is true that the council has tended to approve the recommendation from the SSC, we start every SSC meeting by reminding everybody that the SSC selection is only a recommendation and that the final decision is with the council.

There is also always the very real possibility that the SSC can't come to a consensus, and that the Council has to make the choice without a SSC recommendation, so there are existing procedures and precedents for that. Julf (in his role as SSC chair)
