I don't have a problem with this in practice, but the legitimacy of such 
an appointment is not rock solid. The CC itself probably should not decide 
on CC membership, as that comes from the GA.

Maybe we should always choose a spare member (as in the 6th winner), who 
can automatically jump in. And if more than 1 person resign, a new 
election can be held.
