And imho that is why the MEC Chair is the most powerful person in that room and the most in charge of the NC.
The way this plays out is with the MEC chairman inserting himself into the committee and direct negotiations. Once this happens the NC and the MEC chairman butt heads. The next most common act is the NC resigning “for personal reasons” or “in protest.” Either result put the MEC chair in the negotiating drivers seat as either an interim or out right NC.
