<p>Hi Andi, <br>
We did not ask for replacements for Richard and that is why
currently the PSC has only 5 members. since we decided to do all
in the 2020 AGM. 1-2 months ago, in preparation for the AGM, we
asked for PSC nominees. They can replace any of the PSC members in
the upcoming AGM.<br>
</p>
<p>What I'm saying is that we could make the PSC grow by one person
more on top of filling Richard's seat.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Marco<br>

<p>Hi Andreas, <br>
</p>
<p>I probably didn't explain myself well,</p>
<p>the statutes say</p>

<p>So we do have to decide, what I'm suggesting is to not
only fill Richard's vacant seat, but to add one more
person. As you say "We can define how many people we want
to have on the PSC". For that we need a PSC decision and
that is what I wanted to vote on.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<div>Hi Marco,</div>

We don't need to vote on this. The honorary PSC members
are * in addition * to the regular PSC members. They
don't have an obligation to take part actively at the
PSC if they don't want to. As such, we don't count them
as "regular" PSC member, but they have the same rights
as other PSC members.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, nowhere in the charter is there a written
number how many PSC members there should or need to
be. Only the board (chair, vice-chair and treasurer)
are listed as absolutely necessary. Everything else is
at the discretion of the PSC and not defined in the
charter. We can define how many people we want to have
on the PSC and we don't need to vote on it. To me it
was always clear that we should replace Richard after
he decided to resign.</div>
