The constitution of the Pembroke College Winnie-the-Pooh Society provides that:
The James
XXXVII. There may be, if a candidate present him/herself, an officer called the "James", who shall not be a member of the Committee, and may be voted into or out of office at any time.
XXXVIII. The duties of the James shall be to abstain from voting on any matter, to find innuendo where no others can, and to provide hunny-and-condensed-milk sandwiches once a year at a time which may be convenient to him/her.
The James was mysteriously absent from Meredith Belbin's groundbreaking work on team roles, but I have sometimes thought that more organisations should have their own James. Could your committee benefit from one?
