We've had 7 board seats since the beginning, and this has been a workable sized board for us. No limitation on nominations to board. Unlike membership, there can only be 7 board members.

And, that article 4.4 states any voting member, director, or officer can nominate multiple candidates; so not the same limitation as for nominating a voting member?
