think Mike Jones 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

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
