Proposal 130219A

Proposal text
I propose that if a councilor or advisor resigns or declares himself effectively unavailable indefinitely, the council may select a replacement, and should moreover begin the informal selection process as soon as possible. As this situation will typically leave the council with an even number of votes, I suggest that the council should seek first to find a candidate with unanimous support, and if no such candidate can be found and is willing to accept the appointment, an absolute majority of votes is required for appointment (in the case of four remaining councilors, three votes). (In particular, the council can make a councilor an advisor or an advisor a councilor via this process with the consent of that person.)
