- Tom - the Articles give the Board discretion about who to co-opt in the
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.
