    That's correct.  The differences are in the process – the secretary is assigned to call meetings, send out agendas and minutes etc etc. The chair's role is largely undefined.

    You certainly can be a member.  You have to be nominated an owner but you can nominate yourself (unless you are a co-owner, in which case you need to get the other so-owner to nominate you).

    This normally happens at an AGM where the process is to call for nominations, then decide how many members there will be on the EC (max 9, min 1) then if there are more nominations than seats, a vote is held.

    Alternatively, if a vacancy appears during the year between AGMs, the EC can (in fact, must) co-opt someone to fill it.  That person then serves out the remainder of the term until the next AGM.
