That is not my understanding. <br><br>
First, let's be clear about nomenclature. "Interim" members
occupy board seats immediately after the board recall. They are then
(possibly) replaced by others according to the AC/SO/NomCom processes to
finish the term of the removed director. I say "possibly"
because in some cases, that term may already be almost over.<br><br>
Coming out of Paris, the NomCom would name zero Interim Directors. Today,
I think it was left that they optionally could name some.<br><br>
In my mind, it makes no sense to used up the candidates that the NomCom
may be holding in its back pocket (so to speak) on Interim appointments.
That is a waste. These vetted and quality people should be
replacements who sit out the rest of the term.<br><br>
Note that it is conceivable that at any given time, the NomCom may have
no people to name immediately. They may have kept a few names for
emergency appointments, but there is no guarantee that they are really
available at the moment they are needed. People's lives move on.<br><br>
On another matter, one thing we have not discussed at all is how Interim
appointments and Replacement appointments (finishing the terms) are
counted with regard to term limits.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite 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>

Board should be so exceptional and a smaller exe board should be able to

appointments.<br>

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