The current language puts undue pressure on election officials to immediately notify the TC in the event of a leaderless project, while also not providing a maximum timeframe for notification, which may leave a project leaderless for some time in exceptional circumstances. The replacement language places a clear bound on the notification period, allowing election officials to take care with their reporting, and the technical committee to have information in a timeframe that allows a new PTL to be selected to start with their peers.

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, before the conclusion of the election.
- 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.
