I initially agrred with this position, but with the passage of time I've
become willing to cut the Panel a little slack on this - other than 
Mauro,
the non-electees seem to have crawled back into the woodwork.  What is 
their
mandate now?  And the Panel will be gone after we have the Bylaws and the
first Board election under the Bylaws.  Maybe sooner than we'd like.

I for one would like to see that the Board elections are kept open to 
*all*
members, that is, that a person not be denied the opportunity to be a 
Board
candidate because of prior Panel service.
