d. The Chair shall (i) have the authority to manage the
activities of
the IAOC and (ii) convene and preside over meetings of the IAOC, but
shall have no other powers or authority beyond his or her powers as
an IAOC member. If the Chair is not available, then any other
voting member may convene or preside over meetings of the IAOC in the
absence of the Chair.
A detail that hasn't been comment on yet is that it seems odd to me
that only certain members can be chair and, yet, if the chair is not
available any voting member may serve.
Note that is doesn't say that any member can serve - it says any
member can convene and chair the meetings. This is, of course, done
with full visibility from the members at the meeting.
However, I do think you have a point and agree with this suggestion.
I suggest the phrase "any other voting member" be modified to say
"any other member who would otherwise be eligible to serve as Chair".
I would remove the redundancy and shorten this to
"Any member eligible to serve as Chair may convene or preside over
meetings of the IAOC in the
absence of the Chair."
