Constitutionally, it would either have to be the standing committee (they are the elected judiciary, and should therefore be impartial) or the whole general meeting. Unless you want to propose reform and expansion of the standing committee (though we have had enough problems electing and coordinating 3 this year). It should be noted that in the case of a personal conflict of interest, the member of the standing committee must stand down in favour of the IVDA president on that vote, though there are no rules about when there is a conflict of interest for the IVDA president as well! Or when two members have a conflict of interest!
