Bart,
good idea. But from my experience as CRO for the board elections it is
hard to get a hold of all the Charter Members in the first place, and
even harder on short notice and the most hardest ever right now in the
middle of summer break time. So this is not a viable solution if we
want to get things done.

Plus - the board represents the Charter Members, it has been elected
by them.

Plus, I vouch for all current directors to be as impartial as possible
and to be able to divvy-out potential conflicts of interest.

Plus, lets get this decision taken soon to relieve the pressure on the
two parties (and not make a fool of ourselves. We have a board in
place that we trust, we have two excellent proposals - what on earth
could possible go wrong here?).


Hope this helps,
Arnulf
