is the keeper of the guidelines on how the process works, but as I understand
it the top vote recipients have 2 year terms, and the next group gets one year
terms. So in this election, 3 get 2 year terms and 3 get one year
terms. Others are kept on the list in the event someone resigns or more
are needed if we add more corporate members.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
