<p>What about making the executive committee more international instead?</p>

<p>The message that I'm getting between the lines is "the executive committee is American, but we feel bad about that, so we need a liaison".</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">We ran out of time at the last board call before deciding if we wanted to have an International Liaison to the EC. Given that the current EC doesn't have international
representation, I am making a motion that we do establish an International Liaison to the EC. If there is a second, I will put this out to board vote via our voting tool once it's up and running along with Nat's motions for the specs process improvements.
If the motion is carried I'd suggest we use the approach that Mike Jones suggested for the recent officer elections and see if we can come to consensus as a board on who the international representative should be and approve by consent vs. doing a specific
board vote.</span></p>
