Erm, I think this type of method has a disadvantage: for instance, 5 people vie for the Chairperson seat and maybe only 1 person vies for the Secretary post; definitely, the Secretary will get elected; since (s)he has no competitor, and maybe out of the 4 that lost the Chair's seat, one of them could have been a better Board member than the secretary who had won. What I'm trying to say is that i think it's better for voters to vote for their best top 5 candidates; and the Board members will later on delegate their respective positions themselves. By doing so, we will get the creme de la creme to be on the Board.

Abbas.
