It might be that the committee agenda means what it says. Perhaps the committee has yet to discuss whether anyone on the committee is aware of anyone who might like to be nominated or whether the committee wants to fill the position at all. They might, after some discussion, decide that the remaining members can do all that is required till the AGM. Or perhaps someone will suggest putting out a notice to all owners asking anyone interested to put up their hand.
If the AGM is likely to be in May, then it would seem reasonable for the remaining committee to just decide to carry on till then. There would not be much time for a newbie to get up to speed and do anything useful it would seem.
