Would this really work, formally, with 5.2.8 unchanged?
It seems to me that a strict reading would give a three week period with
two DPLs, and the time of DPL vote would slide three weeks backward
every year...
Perhaps the amendment should change 5.2.8, too, to something like:
| The Project Leader serves for one year from when the leadership post
| becomes vacant.
But I guess it's, formally, already much too late, now. :-S
