[Foundation-l] Frieda Brioschi resigns from the Wikimedia Board of Trustees

[Philippe Beaudette]

I don't think it's quite that simple, Oscar.

The same announcement says: "Both the community-elected and chapter- 
selected seats have a duration of two years. These seats will expire  
in alternating years, which means that community-elected seats will be  
up for renewal on the July 1st 2009, 2011, and 2013, and chapter- 
selected seats will be up for renewal on July 1st 2010, 2012, 2014,  
etc."

It doesn't say anything about filling seats upon resignation or  
retirement.

A strict construction reading will not be helpful here, I think.
