You will forgive me if I am more than a little confused by
that hope. What gesture above and beyond already having
instituted several (rather than a single designated) positions
on the board selected by the chapters, would you actually
want to see? And what do you mean "rapidly"? I am totally
unable to understand where these hopes spring from.

Surely gestures by the board are totally irrelevant at this
point.
