BCP 101 does not define the rules for declaring a position vacant. In absense of such rules, the IAOC decided to consult with the community whether the community agrees that the position is now vacant. Another avenue, which is also mentioned in the BCP, that could have been followed is the recall procedure. However, the IAOC felt that it was not really intended for a situation where somebody apparently has vacated their position. David Kessens ---
