  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.

I don't think this is healthy in any way, I don't see the advantage of
having nomcom populate interim. Most organisations think internal when it
comes to anything "interim", that is not a coincidence it's to reduce
complexity and ensure continuity because those internal already know the
history.
