From the Anglican Communion News Service (they got it right!)"We understand that one member of the Standing Committee remains, and once he determines that he is indeed the sole remaining member, he will appoint others to join in the leadership of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, in accordance with diocesan canons," Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori told ENS. "As the Ecclesiastical Authority, the Standing Committee will set a schedule for the reconvening of the Convention, electing members to fill offices, and eventually calling a bishop to serve in Pittsburgh. My office will work to provide support and counsel to Pittsburgh, in service to the leadership of the Ecclesiastical Authority."

I'm assuming that this is pretty much a formality, that you have to determine that you are the only one on the Standing Committee who was against realignment. It's pretty well known and no secret that 7 of the 8 members of the SC were for realigning.
