Quim meant fewer than seven who receive votes at all (implying that there
would be other candidates running who received none). I don't think it's a
huge issue, as those who were elected can choose to appoint more directors
should they wish to.

I think it would be better to go with a widely used and familiar system,
such as those proposed by James Henstridge and Ryan Lortie in previous
years. In fact, I would be happy to appoint a group (including James and
Ryan) to come up with a proposal for the Board.
