Dear colleagues,
again, why exclude individuals who are willing to do the work which
has to be done?
The easiest way to get to a consensual descision would be following
the proposal below.
To avoid an even number of seats, why not reserve a spare seat for
future ALSes (e.g. from
the northern region, which is not represented yet).
At least, we have the objections to 7 seats. But we should go for the
best solution and not
stick to artificial formalities which do not get us on.
So I also propose to assign - in this period - all candidates to the
board.
Best
Stefan
