Statutes where voted on Saturday, PPI CoA members elected on Sunday.
There were 8 candidates for 7 seats.

Nobody had real input on the timing, except the very few people who
had read the statutes and asked themselves how it would be handled
with (that knew this CoA election would be a mess).

On the 3 members who did not sign the last rulings, 2 have
participated to some the debates despite not having signed the final
ruling.

Sometimes, they might be in situation of conflicts of interest (for
example, a challenge coming from their national PP), that by itself
justifies not participating in the deliberation of the Court.
