Sorry - while I love the iPad, at times its painful to edit things correctly.

The original reference to "advisor" in the collection of members in the original text is as above - the past chair or the chair's alternate selected as above.

The other reference to the "any other advisors" you mention below is elsewhere in 3777.  So we were both fondling different parts of the same elephant....

With respect to the current edit of the text I'd make one more change to make this clear:

>        voting volunteers, the immediate past nominating
>        committee Chair 

[or their alternate]
