I suggest we say NomCom shall not put up less than two. 

That should give enough flexibility to cover all wishes that were brought forward.

I believe where we are now is that the NomCom will (in the event of a spill) put up at least two and possibly up to eight interim directors at that time.  I'm not sure but they may have the option of not putting up directors at all, but I think that did not come out on top in the call.
