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.
