In the absence of such a representative being named, the Principal representative will be deemed to be the Election Representative. If ISOC receives multiple distinct actions with respect to any specific issue (such as ballot submission), the first action will be acted on and all subsequent actions will be ignored.
The above notwithstanding, given suitable advance notice, ISOC will allow an Organization Member to replace its Election Representative.
