I see the intention here. My initial thought is that the constitution
already enables overriding by replacing the secretary through §4.1.7,
assuming the project leader and secretary disagree. [§4.1.1 (recalling
the DPL) could be employed if they agree.]
If we add this, the intersection of §4.1.8 and §4.1.7 should be
addressed when it comes to questions requiring a supermajority.
