This ensures he has permanent access to participate in the TAG, without putting him on the critical path for any vote or quorum that involves TAG members, notably the Council's Unanimous Short Circuit.

More broadly, this also removes him from being part of the Council, as the Council's purpose is to replace his former role as Director in resolving Formal Objections.

This is one possible solution to #784, with #792 and #793 being alternatives.

I like the approach here, but I think merely having a standing invitation to TAG meetings is slightly too weak, in the sense that it needs to be clear that he is invited, but not required, to participate fully in all TAG activities, as well as meetings or sessions.

Why not omit "permanent" from this PR? What does it add?

Or if the intent is a ongoing default, then say "ongoing standing invitation" instead.

Other than that LGTM (and can live with current wording also)

Another difference this would make is that Timbl would no longer be involved (and therefore not counted when determining the 2/3 marjority) when voting on approving TAG appointments.

Suggested one typo fix, otherwise additional changes are an improvement. Thanks for this iteration.

This seems fine to me, with any of the alternative spellings of the text. Better than the other option presently on the table (#792). Process needs to reflect reality and this is closer to that reality as I experience it.
