I don't know whether the current CS members of the MAG are already 
planning to pick two among themselves and tell the caucus "these are the

two ones that will be thrown to the lions, all the others are safe"; 
it's certainly hard to imagine.

It's also true that the "up to 1/3" principle is not binding in any way,

so if CS wanted to recommend that all seven rotate, it could certainly 
do so - at most, it would be the Secretary General to refuse to do that,

if he thinks that continuity is more important than self-determination.

So, perhaps we could just work out a process for selection - a Nomcom, 
if I remember well from the charter - with the mandate to select the 
best possible slate, considering both the advantages of continuity and 
the advantages of rotation, and it will be up to this process to 
determine whether no one rotates, everyone rotates, or something in the 
middle.
