"(E) Board-appointed Trustees. Beginning in January 2009, four
Trustees will be appointed by the Board from a list of candidates
selected by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee shall
be appointed by the full board and shall include as members (i) at
least two Trustees selected during the prior July's community or
chapter selection process, and (ii) the Executive Director. The
Nominating Committee may consist of any number of members, including
former Trustees and external experts." (from the resolution on the
bylaw changes)

If you read the bylaws, the nominating committee is only about the
board-appointed seats. The committee is made up of at least two board
members which were appointed during prior july's chapter- or community
selection procedure. This means that two of the seats in this
committee will be for two of the following three:
* (The person replacing) Florence
* (The person(s) replacing) Domand and/or Michael
Note that according to the bylaws (at least, if I interpret well and
read really closely) Kat and Frieda are no option for these two seats.

Additional to these two seats any number of people can be appointed.
These are mainly the seats Florence asks us to give input on I guess.
I would at least suggest to appoint two people from the advisory
committee and three people directly from the community in that
committee. I could suggest a few names, but I have to realize that
people appointed in that committee would be no longer a candidate in
the following selection process...

Best regards,
