Dear community
The board recently passed a resolution, which you will find below
In the aftermath of the resignation of Michael Davis (effective october 31th, 2007) and Erik Moëller (effective december 15th, 2007), the board confirms its will to replace the two former board members, as well as its committment to expand the number of members on the board of directors at the earliest convenience, up to a number of 11 members maximum. Due to its commitment to involve members from the community, at least half of the new members will be appointed for a term ending at the next board elections, in june 2008.
- It means you updated bylaws? If I recall correctly it said the
Board of Trustees shall be nine at maximum. If updatred, is there any other part you have/are considering to update bylaws?
- "at least half of new members will be appointed": are those new
members including two replacements? (11-5)/2 and (9-7)/2 are not same so I would be happy to have it clarify.
My understanding (though Florences reply makes me doubt my interpretation a bit) was that "at least half of new members will be appointed for a term at the next board elections, in june 2008." ( a bit more context with the quote ), meant that though most appointed seats would be of a longer duration to be confirmed by the board, those appointed only until the next board elections would be elected seats after that.
- What made you decide to expand it to 11, not 9 originally planned?
What the current Board of Trustees expect those two additional seats make difference from the original plan?
