7 We might want to add a few more trustees so that we end up with an odd
8 number. Right now I think we really have one that is active.
9 Appointing Daniel as the only other could actually lead to more conflict
10 if he wants to do something major with the foundation and is in
11 disagreement with the only other trustee. This could especially be a
12 problem since he wants to be an activist (as opposed to many other past
13 trustees who were working in more of a maintenance mode and were not
14 likely to make waves).

16 If there were a few other trustees then Daniel could still take a
17 leadership role and I think most would support many of his ideas.
18 However, it would still leave a check in place if things get out of hand.

20 In principle I think this is a good idea - it just has a few
21 technicalities I'm concerned about...
