I would support the call to use our defined recall procedures, even if
it takes a few weeks longer.
And not unnecessarily set a precedent. If you feel the rules are not
suitable, than we should think about adjusting them. And be careful, it
may take "only" a hum to change a procedure, but the discussions
preceding that hum for a constructive change of such can take quite a
bit longer. ;-)
However, I would hope and recommend that we could follow the
communication channel Ray established with a family member of Marshall.
And maybe we can get a 3 minute time piece from him (or someone
authorised to speak on his behalf). If he would resign due to the fact
that he has no time at the moment and for the foreseeable future,
everything would be settled without trouble.
Best regards, Tobias

Wait just one minute.....
Marshal has neither resigned nor died (both of which would vacate the
position). He apparently *has* abrogated his responsibilities.
In even stronger terms: if a person after many years of involvement and
understanding of the rules, does not take the 5 minutes to write
a letter saying 'I resign from the IOAC', I wonder what triggered that
behavior.
I'm willing to sign on to the petition. I'm willing to volunteer for
the recall committee.
Same here.
