H. [408] Vacancies in Membership Categories - Adjustment of Composition
of PAC; Succession
If, at the time of formation of the PAC, an insufficient number of candidates are

manner provided by these Procedures. Until such time as vacant seats on the PAC have

If an insufficient number of candidates are elected in the initial election for any
category of PAC membership, the PAC shall set a date and time for a new election for
the vacant seat or seats on the PAC. The PAC shall provide further notice of such new
election to the persons eligible as described in Sections 301 through 304 hereof for the
initial election. If after such subsequent election there is still an insufficient number of
candidates elected for any category of PAC membership or a category continues to have
no candidate elected, then the vacant seats in such category(ies) may remain unfilled.
If after the formation of the PAC a vacancy occurs, the PAC shall call for a new
election to fill such vacancy in the manner as provided above, unless the PAC
determines that a new election would be infeasible due to such factors as lack of interest
of potential members in serving on the PAC, or insufficient time to hold an election prior
to the PAC's consideration of the Amendment. In such case the PAC may proceed with
members seated on the PAC and the majority of such shall constitute a quorum.
