At the moment, the ISOC President cannot appoint a chair because he cannot know who is eligible. So we are in a vacuum until the IESG exercises its judgement.

Well, that's not immune to challenge, which is why I believe that almost any choice that the IESG could make is fine, as long as it's notified to the ISOC Board. That wouldn't completely immunise against an appeal but would make an appeal highly unlikely to succeed.

Certainly if we can get a BCP out very quickly that would do fine, but it would have to be a very minimal BCP whose 4 week last call starts in the next week or two.
