Whilst your 'technical point' appears to be correct, we have entered
territory not covered under the constitution... So does the constitution
still strictly apply?? If not, what Rules apply?

At this point, playing "Devil's Advocate" doesn't move anything *forward*.
[Not to lessen that you've a) contributed a lot and b) are correct in a
strict sense]

What is necessary now in ALL communications about moving AUUG forward is
*constructive* suggestions - especially if you have what looks like
Really Bad News (such as this).

I'm very keen to hear the other half of your comments.
 - the Rules say we're stuffed (first half), so
 - this is a way through this conundrum
