At the SGM, the only matter that can be considered is the one that the SGM was organized for. Thus, if at the SGM, the motion to reinstate failed, the National Board would not have been able to appoint a new Vice President until the -next- Board Meeting after the SGM. [I'm afraid I don't follow the situation closely enough to know when that next meeting would normally be.] As such it wouldn't be "one more month", it would have been "one more month" plus the time until the following meeting. Still, I don't consider it to be very tactful to make the appointment at this time.
