[EURO-Discuss] No voting on board seats

[Stefan Hügel]

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
