Assuming committee guys are always training their replacements, you’re always going to have a higher number of volunteers than are absolutely required.
Yeah you're going to talk about the important ones, the contract enforcement, negotiating... Hard fast rules dont work when its the true merit based positions. ...In theory, the MEC should be working so close with those groups he/she/them/*wink*
should know who is working hard and who isnt.
The MEC position is building on previous work, that should be passable onto the next guy easily enough.
Full disclosure: I don't have a high opinion of the popularity contest positions personally, i decouple reverence from power, thats my bias and it may not be accurate.
