  We had at that point in time one potential person ready to do this.
I don't know what you call "preemptive bureaucracy". If this mean that
before putting a job offer or signing it we check that we can legally do
that based on our bylaws, then yes would be "preemptive bureaucracy".
To me it's just one step needed to make sure we don't screw up legally and
can actually get this done.
  I hope this clarifies the situation.
