Has the possibility been considered to make this, then, an interim
appointment in the same way Brad is our interim Executive Director --
i.e. the person appointed would explicitly not be running in the Board
election? Besides being more fair to all prospective candidates, it
would allow us to postpone some of the matters being discussed here
until the final Board setup is clear. The interim Board member would
focus on operational issues only.
