event of a casual vacancy, so long as the Board is unanimous. I think that,
particularly given the circumstances, we did the right thing to use that
discretion. As you indicate in your post, it would have been possible for us
to create another process to go through, but I don't think that would have
been helpful.
I didn't say you shouldn't have used co-option. I didn't even say you
should create a new process. You should just follow normal, prudent
processes for making a decision. You wouldn't make major procurement
decisions without getting multiple quotes. In the same way, you
shouldn't make major recruitment decisions without interviewing
multiple candidates.
