Thanks again for your helpful inputs to our process.

One quick point about the below (quick because I'm rushing to prepare for 
travel from Friday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon)...

It is odd, but if you read section (c) very carefully... one must be an 
organizational member to *vote* in an SC election, but it is not stated as 
a requirement to be elected to the SC!

One might argue whether that's sensible or not, intentional or not, but 
it's been that way since our first RoP (~2005/6).  And indeed, we did have 
an SC member who was an Individual for several years (Dieter).

That would indeed be a problem, as we don't anticipate additional members 
joining the MS.  However, our election period is Nov-Dec, and we do 
anticipate the end of MS/SC operations and organization well before that.

Thanks,
