It is intentional, yes. The idea is you have a
completely new
election, although we don't have to do it this way if we don't want
to.
I have no particularly strong feelings on it, although continuity of
leadership can be beneficial. Having two completely new boards within
2 months could be very complicated and confusing for all kinds of
relationships. Obviously, those that won the original election stand a
very good chance of winning the new one, but there is no real need to
put them through that, so why bother?
