Interesting concept. Do you suppose that is the reason Dave Brown wanted Mrs. Dunlop on the EC?
Seems likely, JR. DB is never wrong, ergo an expert is one that supports his position. That's the one thing Mrs. Dunlop's predecessor had going for him. You have said that DB by convention doesn't vote on issues before the EC. Maybe so in form, but not so in fact - he has always had a vote, by proxy. It wouldn't seem a long stretch to suppose that his reason for wanting JM's designee for interim/incumbent D-V VP lies in his expectation for continuity of his proxy vote.

Strictly as a point of interest. The last time I talked to DB, he changed his position on voting... just slightly, from what I had heard before. It may not be new, but, I had never heard it before. He said that he did not vote except to break a time... or create one.
