Well, I've contacted all those who have the opportunity and we'll see how
the numbers turn out.

Yes and no. This *may* be the case, but is no longer required like it was
with managers.

>From the email I sent to trustee candidates:

"Being a trustee does not carry with it any additional responsibilities. It
is not like being a manager where you are required to have a top-level
project that you are actively leading. The trustees will simply ensure that
an effective and fair organizational model exists for the development
project as a whole, and oversee it in as gentle and positive a way as
possible."

I think that this is something that will probably happen naturally at the
NFP matures.
