Two community elected members every 1.5 years would be a good. Three could
than be elected if someone steps down.

I forgot to add that one of the benefits of having
elections scheduled
every year is that if a community-elected member departs from the board in
the first year of their term, then it's simple to have another seat elected
in the next cycle to fill the remainder of that term..

I'm glad we're thinking about how to

about possible screening for COI issues early in the election process.
Thinking also about Board composition, what if we changed Jimmy's seat to
another community-elected seat, and ran elections for what would be 4
community-elected seats every year with 2 seats elected each year for 2
year terms? I think that a standing Elections Committee might be able to
facilitate this kind of cycle.
Also worth considering:

But a bylection is quite costly to set up and run centrally and also for
the whole community. So perhaps we should be broadminded in thinking how
could fill the empty seat after Danny
