I would like to see the actual text before agreeing that we are good to
go.<br><br>
Specifically, if the NomCom identifies their"interim" members
before the vote, they are identifying candidates who they are prepared to
name, but who will not be Board members if the recall fails. I suspect
that may be counter to how they normally treat NomCom
candidatures.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>

<blockquote type="cite">I think this point has moved on
a bit, based on the call earlier today. The NomCom will not be
putting up alternates. 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.<br><br>
NomCom gets more good candidates than they nominate, so there is a pool
from which to draw on, should the time ever come.<br><br>
I think this is right or close to it, but the next draft should clear
this up.<br><br>

<dd>> One comment: I thought the general view in Paris was that NomCom
would

<dd>>
<dd>> That seems to have changed; perhaps I missed some discussion.
Or
<dd>> misperceived the general view.
<dd>>
<dd>> Requiring NomCom to put up alternates at the AGM creates the
"people
<dd>> standing in the shadows waiting for a chance" that were
mentioned as a
<dd>> prospect to be avoided, and was accepted as a reason for not
requiring
<dd>> SOs and ACs to nominate alternates with every appointment.
<dd>>
<dd>> Moreover, how will NomCom find people willing to commit to drop
<dd>> everything and become an interim director in the unlikely event
of a
<dd>> Board spill, knowing that it is highly unlikely this will ever
come to
<dd>> pass?
<dd>>
<dd>> It is surely much easier to ask someone "Will you agree to
serve as a
<dd>> director now?" than "Will you agree to serve as a
director in an
<dd>> unspecified number of months, should some very unlikely event
come to
<dd>> pass?".
<dd>>
<dd>> For these reasons, I think that excusing NomCom from nominating
interim
<dd>> directors is a better choice.
