Read the rules pls. The SHALL requirement is in R649: A person permitted and enabled to award (revoke) a Patent Title SHALL do so in a timely fashion after the conditions authorizing em to do so are announced, unless there is an open judicial case contesting the validity of those conditions. Note there is some unclarity into what happens to the SHALL if there was an open case, but it's closed now. [Also: I'm a bit surprised at someone holding an office for a while being unfamiliar with their sole job with that office...]
