Good. We'll see if that was effective next year, when they put their
candidates for the BoT. <br>

There's been some discussion of this. I will note that this Board
is already quite large, and adding more people could make it
seriously unwieldy. </blockquote>
I didn't mean to add *more* people, but when filling in a vacancy;
it has happened in the past - when I stepped down from the BoT,
Alejandro Pisanty was chosen to finish my term. So, one East
European was replaced with one person from Latin America. IMHO, this
was a good choice from point of view of geographic diversity. <br>
