For example, the 2014 Nomcom was called back after it had finished work on its usual selections to fill a IAOC position that had been vacated mid-term. The 2016 Nomcom had a second ART AD position to fill after deciding to move an incumbent to the IETF chair position. In both cases, the best path to follow was to create a new Position. Before making the call for nominations and feedback for this additional position, ensure the already filled positions are marked as not open. Then, only the new positions would be available on the Nomination and Feedback pages. </p>
