CZ:Election July-August 2013/Referenda/9

If the proposed referendum to amalgamate the Councils is passed, add the following provision to the transitional Article 50 (perhaps at the end of section 3 of the Vacancies heading).

"As far as possible, in making interim appointments the Managing Editor or Council shall establish and/or maintain a majority of Editors on the Council, and, subject to that priority, as many non-Editors as possible."

I recognize this may not be possible owing to shortage of candidates and/or existing Council members carried over, hence the weak wording. The priority phrasing means, for a Council of 5, the order of preference for number of Editors is 3, 4, 5, 2, 1, 0.
