24 On second thought, I think that under the board there will still be a
25 council for general technical matters that you would still be electable
26 towards. In the next version of this (1.1) I think I'm leaning towards
27 the 'board' being what is currently trustees + hr(comrel) + pr + infra.
28 Under that would go what is currently being done by council.

30 I think rich0 proposed the merged board having the functionality of both
31 council and trustees, but I'm not sure that'd work with your concerns.
