Martin sent the minutes
(http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg3mt5r8_36cn4776cw) out for the IIW
Face-to-Face board meeting that happened on 11/10/2008 and I wanted to
highlight one of the motions that passed:

==
Motion 1: We take new corporate board seats without a cap as the
people write the checks and as per the bylaws we will be appointing
board members to maintain parity+1 until such time as an election for
the community seats is held.

Proposed by Mike. Seconded by Drummond. Passed unanimously.
==

As a point of clarification, the board will be appointing *community*
board members and will be heavily weighting that appointment on the
previous election.  For instance, after this election there will be 5
runners-up.  If we add another corporate board member we'll need to
appoint another community board member to maintain the n+1 parity from
the pool of 5 people that were not elected.  If this is not reflected
in the by-laws or election procedures we'll need to update those
accordingly.

FYI,

- Scott
