Are the seats whose terms expire in December 2007 held by elective or appointive members? Has the Board decided how these three seats will be filled next time around?
There are currently seven seats.
Three are held by appointed members (Jimbo, Michael, Jan-Bart) and their terms expire on 31 December this year. From that time onwards, appointed members are appointed for terms of one year.
Three are held by elected members (Erik, Kat, Frieda) who were just elected yesterday, their terms last for two years, and will expire on 30 June 2009.
The odd one out is Ant, who was an elected member whose term was due to end 30 June this year, but she was converted to an appointed member at the last board expansion with a term expiring on 30 June 2008. At that time, Ant's appointed seat will be replaced by an elected seat.
I anticipate (based on the most recent Board expansion resolution) that the Board will expand to nine members at that time, adding another two community elected seats, with terms commencing 1 July 2008. This will result in two tranches of three elected members serving two year terms, beginning on 1 July, offset from each other by one year, and one tranche of appointed members with one year terms beginning on 1 January each year.
