second alternate
Explanation:
The Junta itself is the "primer renglon". The first alternate(s), or substitute(s), is in the "segundo renglon". The "tercer renglon" is the "second-level alternate(s)" or the member who will participate in meetings only in the event of an absence of a board member *and* of the first-level alternate(s).

See references.

Suerte.

  -> Gracias, Marina. It seems a bit counterintuitive (i.e., tercer renglon=second alternate) but is, I believe, correct.
