I think John wants those nominations directly to him. It would be great if he and Carl want to stay on, but it sounds as though those spots, and others are up to be filled.... or maybe I read that wrong and there is a reason those spots have to be "elected" again..? And there is the question of who else has the time to devote to the job... can a nominated person decline before the meeting, in hopes an alternative is available to be nominated?? Lets get more ideas and folks involved in this!!!
