Surprisingly, the implication of one of the delegate's comments is that the proposed change would NOT give district superintendents power to ordain. I had assumed that with a single g.s., ordination would need to be delegated to the d.s. - It seems that my assumption has been wrong.
The answer to the previous comment (coming from a general board member) is that g.s. emeriti would be called upon to ordain where the g.s. in office cannot be present.
