Seun, I think that you may have misunderstood. The CMSM would be 
required pass on the appointment decisions of the SO/AC/NomCom, but 
it would not take an independent decision on these. The decision to 
appoint would remain the sole right of the individual SO, AC or NomCom.

So we are not populating the Board collectively, the collective is 
simply honouring the decision of the individual organizations.
