There is precedent for that.

I am of the opinion that re-election or proposal of someone to 
fill Stuart's place with a short time left on the term is not a 
good use of time. The Council has always had the ability to 
invite others to its meetings, especially to speak to particular 
matters up for discussion. We could of course do this in 
September if people feel it useful. (If you do, feel free to 
email me offlist and i'll report at the teleconference this 
Thursday.

  The TEI Council teleconference is this Thursday from 8pm BST. 
Please add things to the agenda at:

And just a reminder to double-check your diaries and make sure 
you've blocked out the time! The TEI Council meeting is 19 - 21 
September in Oxford. Please let me know _now_ if you aren't going 
to be able to make it to either of these meetings.
