Anita Kuno 42f6d77f9b Adds a resolution for leadership process
Currently we do not have any process for addressing leadership
for a program should no candidates come forward during the
nomination process. This patch proposes a process.

This follows the conversation on the mailing list about this topic:

===========================================
2014-11-28 Process for Leaderless Programs
===========================================
Should the nomination period for Program Technical Lead close and any program
subject to the decisions of the Technical Committee not have a minimum of one
eligible candidate identify themselves, the following process will be used to
determine leadership for any program in this situation.
#. Programs without a minimum of one eligible candidate are identified to the
Technical Committee by the Election Officials, as soon as possible after the
nomination period has expired.
#. The Technical Committee can appoint a leader to any programs in this
situation, by mutual agreement of the Technical Committee and the proposed
appointee.
#. The appointed leader has all the same obligations and responsibilities as a
self-nominated elected Program Technical Lead.
