Seconded, though why should Novell put up more than 2 candidates for
their 2 places? In which case, 2 separate votes become irrelevant.

I appreciate that they (Novell) want to retain control of a project that
they largely fund - this is not unreasonable - but if it turns out that
the board voting is consistently split along Novell / Community lines I
fear the Community members are unlikely to remain there very long.

For electing the two Community members :

- with their prior consent -

I would not expect Novell employees to stand unless selected by their
employer, so I don't think this is likely to be very relevant.

I'm also assuming that the Chair is one of the 2 Novell placings, with a
casting vote in the event of ties.
