That's rocking good news. More warm bodies on the Board with time to spare
(or a very particular focus, plus the usual oversight and representation) is
a very welcome thing, and it would be great to have you on the Board again.

A related issue: I think we've pretty much shown that the seven person Board
thing is a bit of a failure. Even if you're not elected or didn't run, we
could appoint you to the Board for this function. :-) We ought to consider
adding a couple of people to the Board.

So much for being away for five years. :-)
