Good to hear this is back on the table Randy.

IIRC the only election was held about 2 years back? So are those 4 members to be now popularly elected to replace 4 retiring current members, whomever those chosen 4 may be?

As there are only three 'voted-in' Members remaining on TB now AFAIK, can one assume all of those 3 are resigning and also one of the appointees? Or will it be a different mix of 4 current members to get the "staggered" effect?

It seems clear from the TB Guidelines below the current Talk Board themselves were to replace the 7 previously resigned from office TB members as well :

Rudi
Punki
SVPII
Dorian
BlondeBomber
chexfan
Goldlust

I never read who TalkBoard chose to replace the 7 above, and many of them have resigned WELL over a year ago now IIRC. May we also know who were chosen to be their replacements? It may well have been posted before by existing TB members - and apologies if I missed seeing it.
