Really? I can't see such a rule in the charter, could
you please point it to me?

If that is indeed the case, I have been violating the
charter and would have to either resign from NCUC myself
or ask Effi to appoint another representative,
and then I'd apparently have to resign from the EC as well.
("If an Official Representative holds an elective office in the NCUC,
Members cannot change their Official Representative until the
individual's term of office is completed." Charter III D)

As I said, however, I can't see such a rule in the charter,
nor do I think it would be a good idea to disqualify all
individual members from representing their organizations, too
(whereas disallowing same person to represent two organizations 
would make sense to me, but I don't see such a rule there either). 
But I stand ready to be corrected, I've been wrong before.

Incidentally, it would seem your being in the EC
earlier was also a violation of the charter
as only Official Representatives are allowed,
not Additional Representatives (IV B 3), or did
you and Milton formally swap roles for that year?

Yeah, we do need to revise the charter. :-)
