I agree that this is important, and I'll be running on a very similar platform in the next election, but this doesn't solve the problem of the number of involved/qualified people. If anything, it makes it worse by increasing the demands on at least some of the people involved. Long-term, we should have an 11-member board again- but only after we've established that we consistently have a large number of active, qualified, committed candidates. We have to admit that we don't right now, and act accordingly.
