(Assuming the "you" here was me, rather than other tech-ctte members.)
On that front, according to the letter of the Constitution (§6.2.1), it
should be the Technical Committee that proposes to me the new TC member.
Now that I think of it, I've doubts on whether §6.2.5 (DPL and ctte
chair can replace an existing member if they agree) is meant to work in
conjunction with or in isolation from §6.2.1.
Either way, my preferred process would be that tech-ctte members discuss
together on who they want as new member. I'll then be happy to discuss
the appointment with Bdale. And I'm positive we can easily reach an
agreement under §6.2.1.
But the first step remains the same: tech-ctte members should find a
candidate to propose. (Assuming other members agree with you and me that
a seat change is welcome, that is.)
Cheers.
