Oh dear, I didn't make myself clear. My idea was that the deputies would
take over for a month or so, then give way to the full arbitrators once
again when they have the time to return.

If, as other people say, this is happening every year and is considered a
problem, then merely expanding the size of the committee is not likely to do
anything to help.
