-Deputy Heads

When possible, the Head of a rank can name another member as "Deputy Head". The main purpose of a Deputy Head is to serve as Interim Head while a new one is being picked.

During this time, they can vote on the COA. However, the next Head can change the vote.

The Deputy Head Helper can host COTP meetings, but may opt out. In this case the normal line of succession kicks in with the Head Bureaucrat or Head Admin.

Deputy Heads are not required to be picked. If someone becomes Head while a Deputy Head exists, they can choose to keep the current Deputy or pick a new one.

Deputy Heads would be granted a "deputy" role on Discord similar to the "head" role. And they would get a special tag on the wiki, like Heads do. They would also be noted as Deputy on the Staff page.
