I agree we need a vice-chair for the interim. Is there any objection to the current vice chair being reappointed on that basis – either from us or indeed from the candidate themselves? I imagine that it would be a challenge at the moment to try to agree, as a house, on a new candidate at this point.

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.
