My 2 cents. While that might seem like a good idea for now, given that there 
has been no change to the PSC for a number of years, I'm not convinced that is 
the best strategy for the long term. For a body like this, it is very important 
to have continuity of technical knowledge, but more importantly of project 
culture, ethos, and history. That is best achieved by staggered elections in 
which some portion (third, half) of the PCS is elected every couple years. It 
sounds like we need to replace about 1/3 of the PCS now due to some of the 
group moving on. So that would be a convenient number to get.
