I asked CRS if they'd oppose it; I didn't get an aye or nay though Faren (ironically >_>) questioned whether this is legal (I maintain it is, for the reason stated above), and Glen asked why we don't appoint somebody to become a new permanent member (to which I said we're still in the process for the new third member, plus I have a running start)

I'll take it as them not formally disagreeing

If Somy assents, I'll go live ASAP.
