I was referring to the possibility that such experts
as Stu West on the board, will have a veto on the final
choices the chapters present to be appointed as trustees.

A full 4 of them, they are nominated and appointed
before the chapters come up with their final
suggestions for trusteeship.

Or vice versa, I suppose (that is the chapters might suggest a name
rejected either by the nominating committee itself, or a suggestion
by the nomination committee vetoed by the board).

I appreciate you will not have made such a suggestion lightly, so
I will answer it with all seriousness. Before I make a full
commitment, can you direct me to where the efforts on this are
coördinated? I can only find the meta page, where there is very
little activity visible.

Yours,
