Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the TAFF race could have been to send someone to this "replacement" Eastercon just as much as the originally-scheduled one, even if Contemplation turns out to be very relaxed. Still, I've only been a TAFF voter, not an administrator or candidate, and am almost certainly not completely in touch with all of the fannish undercurrents involved. And both administrators are well-respected fans not known for half-cocked decisions.
Chris for TAFF anyway, next chance he gets!
