[Board] Board meeting 2014-07-17: Motions

[Bart van den Eijnden]

If we honestly think this an issue, I think the solution should be different.

We should then state that in order to become board member we expect people to have been charter member for at least X years. Not base ourselves on the sequence of elections.

My 2 cents.

Best regards,
Bart
