The official record isn’t necessarily one sacred book. It’s the organization’s recognized appointment trail: minutes, a signed resolution, or a documented successor entry—whatever its rules designate. The appointing body makes the choice; its clerk preserves it. That distinction matters because a reviewer can gather every loose page and still lack authority. Our archived segment names the required pieces: acting lead, vacant role, start date, end date, and the decision itself (23d6fafa-7c6e-4d21-bc04-d323750ab29a). If the trail can’t be pointed to, reopening remains closed.
