+
+Lars as secretary failed to arrange any votes for the Ick project.
+This led to a situation where his term as secretary ended, and the
+project no longer had a secretary. Further, both Lars' and Daniel's
+voting memberships were to end on September 1. What was about to
+happen was that Lars' membership ends, since his started earlier. This
+would make Daniel the only voting member, which would have prevented
+is membership from ending. Also, it would make him automatically be
+the secretary.
+
+To fix the situation, Lars and Daniel decided unanimously to make Lars
+a temporary secretary so that he can have a vote on choosing a
+secretary. Lars and Daniel voted Lars to be secretary.
+
+Lars then arranged a vote amend the governance rules 
+by adding the following paragraph to the "Time and
+term limitations" section:
+
+> If the project loses its secretary (by term expiration or
+> otherwise), and thus the project can't hold votes, the voting
+> members may appoint a temporary secretary by unanimously and
+> publicly supporting a willing candidate to be secretary. Such
+> support should happen within a 24 hour period, starting from a
+> candidate announcing their willingness. The temporary secretary is
+> empowered to run one vote, to choose the new project secretary.
+
+This vote passed.
