Appointments chair is a position with an unreasonably disproportionate amount of power.
Fortunately, the system I had set up allowed room for this lag. But all that has now been worked out, and no new appointments are needed until the end of this semester.
Because no appointments need to be made until the end of this semester, not having a database now does not hurt anyone or complicate anything. So I don't feel bad about holding onto the database until these larger questions about the role of Student Council are answered.
The point of an election is to evaluate someone's performance my performance as appointments chair, for example, to which the database that I developed is substantially connected. My performance as appointments chair was rejected by the student body.
