Re-allocating vacated committee positions following an AGM

Usually, if a committee positition is vacated, it can only be filled again by co-copting someone new, which requires a vote at branch committee. This allows a period of 1 week for a newly elected committee member, if they wish, to take the decision to step down to let someone else take their place. This could be to either withdraw completely, or to volunteer for another vacant position on the committee instead. It would allow a runner-up to take their vacated position immediately without the need for a separate committee decision. They may wish to do this in order to address an imbalance in volunteer resources or the spread of gender diversity across the committee.
