Yes, I think that is the plan. Presumably I will chair the council for the Chair vote, which is probably the only major item of business for the new council, which is done as a live council vote, then hand over immediately to the new chair. The vice-chair process is entirely separate, and is not done ?live? - if a vote is necessary, its done via email.
