I'm curious to understand what you find distasteful in the nomination process?

>From what pool of candidates could we randomly select from? To
clarify, the Presidential position is not a position on the board it
is an officer. As far as I know, we've never had random selection of
board members.

We will be discussing this proposal and hopefully coming to a
consensus on something at next weeks meeting.

Is is possible (if you are in good standing) to just nominate
everyone, and those who are uninterested can concede their nomination.
